Who We've Trained
Gianfranco Cassaro
Defence - University Massachusetts D1
CB Hockey Group continues to help develop the areas of my game that need improvement . Every skate is at a high tempo/high compete level which Christian demands out of each player. Each drill is game oriented which allows you to see what you need to improve on the most. With the small group sizes, it's easy to make corrections and be coached. CB Hockey Group is on the rise, and if you want your kid to be trained at a high level this is the place to be. I know thats where I'll be.
Alex Ierullo
Forward - Bemidji State University D1
I have trained with Christian and CB Hockey Group for two years now and will continue to do so. Christian does an amazing job mixing in skill sessions, shooting, conditioning and game situation drills. It is always a fun and professional environment when training with CB Hockey Group.
Mike Mannara
Defence - Lake Superior State University D1
Skating with CB Hockey Group isn’t just your typical skating class where you pay for an instructor to teach you, it’s like a family to me. With the direction of my good friend Christian, CB Hockey Group's training has allowed myself, as well as many others to be able to grow their game in every aspect. Now playing at the Division 1 level at Lake Superior State University, I’ve been fortunate to have been prepared due to CB Hockey Group's training in the summer. The training and development I learned allowed me to compete at a D1 level.
Adrian Nabuurs
Defence - Collingwood Colts Junior A
I just finished my last year of junior eligibility while playing for the Collingwood Colts of the OJHL. I’ve been working with Christian for about a year and a half now. When I’ve been on the ice with him, he’s pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and work on my skills at a high pace in small spaces, which is very important in game situations. I’ve also helped out at his hockey clinics for younger kids and noticed he does a great job instilling the same things he teaches me in their drills, so that they can be a head of the game at a younger age. I would encourage everyone to join the CB Hockey Group.
Claudio De Gasperis
Forward - Toronto Junior Canadiens Junior A
I started my junior career playing with the Newmarket Hurricanes for two years and one year with the Toronto Jr. A Canadiens. Hockey training is at its finest when training with CB Hockey Group because of great trainers, and also great drills that help develop hand and foot speed. I’ve noticed a great improvement with my overall skill when training with Christian for two summers.
Mario Ferraro
Defence - San Jose Sharks NHL
I'm currently playing for the San Jose Sharks. I’ve trained with Christian For about 2 summers now, and have improved on many areas of my game because of it. Christian is able to provide great drills for edge work, hands, speed, and shooting mentality. I love skating with him especially because I can be vocal about what I would like to work on and he can provide that. It is always a good tough session that helps my game when the season starts.
Joseph Messina
Defence - South Kent Prep School
I currently play for South Kent School, a prestigious prep school in Connecticut. I started training with Christian at the end of the 2018-19 season where he has helped me improve in many aspects. I have noticed drastic improvements in my game because I am always surrounded by elite players in our training sessions, such as players from the collegiate and junior levels. This environment allows me to always push myself and be better everyday. I have also benefited from the drills, as they revolve around game scenarios and not just random scattered pylons drills. The results have shown. I will be playing in the BCHL this season, which is known as the most prestigious Junior A hockey league in Canada. I continue to be pushed to new heights with CB Hockey Group. I recommend CB Hockey Group to any hockey player that aspires to be better.
