Ryan Medel (Head Coach, U of T Varsity Blues Mens Team)

Franky has been a great addition to our coaching staff and our three goalies have elevated their game since working with him. Franky has a passion for his work in the game which is extremely important. That was evident during our first conversation. He’s also extremely knowledgeable about the game and the goaltender position. Having played both major junior and professionally, Franky has first-hand experience in what his goalies are going through. But he’s also a student of the game and continues to educate himself on an ongoing basis which every good coach must do. Finally, he’s a great communicator. Franky builds relationships and finds ways to connect with the individual. He knows how to get his point across. Whether its through drills, video or demonstration – Franky will help his goalies make the improvements they need.

Peter Sbaraglia (son Christian Sbaraglia, Niagara Icedogs OHL)

“My son is a 2001 AAA goaltender who has been drafted to the OHL and has been selected to attend Team Canada’s U 17 development camp as well. We chose Franky as his instructor because Franky, quite simply, checks all the necessary boxes as his goalie coach. He has played professional hockey until very recently so his approach is cutting edge. He is young and relates well to the kids. He has a strong technical approach to the game and most of all he is eager. My son has improved through Franky’s detailed critiquing and drills he implements as well. it’ll be fun to see how much more my son will improve as he gets ready to play pro himself.”

Kristine Reznik (son Cruz Reznik, Toronto Red Wings Minor PeeWee AAA)

“Franky is a very talented, natural coach. His knowledge and experience continues to inspire Cruz in every session. Cruz has gained and grown dramatically under Franky’s guidance. His on and off ice support will continue to allow Cruz to achieve all his goals.”

Cam Gray (Adrian College NCAA Division 3)

“I started working with Franky in October of my 20 year old season, immediately noticed a huge difference in my game, both physically and mentally. At a very difficult part of my year I had turned to Franky for some advice, and a single phrase changed the entire season. Since then we have brought my game to new levels, including a NCAA commitment. Franky’s attention to detail, approach to teaching, and mind for the game is unparalleled, and he brings pro level experience that provides realistic, game- situation drills. Each time i’m on the ice I learn something new, and i’m always looking forward to my next session.”
