Happy with our life!
ST Cloud State Coach, Bob Motzko, calls MHC “the best kept secret in hockey”. Bob, having known our family most all of his playing and coaching career, is one who is qualified to judge what he’s observed over the years.
Our family has our own little corner of the world in the pristine surroundings @ Minnewawa Lodge, Home of Minnesota Hockey Camps, in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area. The setting for the camp is addictive and the serenity the envy of most that experience even one trip on to the grounds. This is where we hang out and this is where we like to offer our training services to those interested; whether aspiring professionals or young people on a path to becoming productive citizens. Our circle of friends and associates is very small. Most important of those is our strength trainer, Joe Ciardelli, our only full time employee outside of our family.
We are grateful to those who continue to work with us as coaches and our support staffs are special to us. Some are “lifers” with us and others are passing through hoping to become a better player, better coach, better worker, and even better person. We enjoy being who we are and we enjoy helping them reach their goals and objectives in their personal lives.
We may be “nobodies” in the scope of the whole world, but we are somebody in the real world of countless people whose lives we have impacted along the way. We measure our net worth in 8 x 10’s. This places us amongst the richest in the world and we get to take all of these memories with us. Observing the National Camps for USA hockey during the summer, the first thought entering our mind is how much we could help those who need to put the finishing touches on their body and their game.
We love where we are in our life. It’s a happy place, a cool place, a place to improve all of our lives; whether player, support staff, staff or owners. The only change we need is the continuous change that comes with getting better and the change that comes with the search for peace of mind.
The hockey sports scene has changed considerably over the years but the only changes we’ve made are the upgrading of our facility and the continuous search for down to earth training methods; simple but effective. We are still in to telling young people things they do not want to hear with the hope that they recognize what’s important in life; how life really works. We believe it is all about the journey, keeping your vehicle on the road to success. We are also aware that this is a complex process in this millennial generation influenced by generation X, the baby boomers and the few traditionalists that are still standing.
If you want to be part of the proud, the few, the MHC campers, who leave this camp a better player, and even better person, consider spending some weeks with us. We are a value paid, value received camp with a vested interest in people becoming what we believe they can be. We do it by “helping people help themselves” and we have a way of getting the message across.
