My kids have skated with Ken for close to 10 years. We have been nothing but impressed with his knowledge and instruction. Our sons have skated individually with Ken as well as small groups and teams even before the PT Bulldogs Summer Hockey Program started.. Ken's passion for teaching the game of hockey shows in every practice. Ken and The Bulldogs Program have played huge roles in the advancement of both of our kids to the next level they have striven for in their careers. Our son Anthony has made the jump from high school hockey to becoming a junior player in Syracuse due to the work he has put in with Ken. Our younger son Joseph who now plays for Whitesboro High School has improved dramatically over the past 2 years because of the time he put in with the Ken and the Bulldogs Summer Program. No coach has ever pushed our kids harder. We will continue to work with Ken as he plants the seeds of success to our sons.

Words can't describe the impact Ken has had on my children. Ken's seems to be able to pull the best out his players. Elena's has blossomed as player under Ken's coaching. Every aspect of her game has improved 10 fold. Most importantly the confidence she's gained is truly remarkable. In 2011 Elena led her team, as captain, to a National Championship and as a 15 year old is a big contributor for her team competing at the girls 19U level. She is also being watched by a couple of women's collegiate hockey programs. All this, I truly believe, is directly attributed to the work Ken has done with her. My son skated for Ken last summer for the first time. His skating has improved more than I could have hoped. Ken's focus is on player development with the majority of practice time devoted to skills, something that is rarely seen.

My son Thomas will be starting his 4th year in the Bulldogs summer program. His work with Ken, Dave and Murph over the last three summers has improved his game immensely. In fact, he not only made the Whitesboro varsity hockey team as a Freshman this year, but he played significant minutes as a defenseman. He is looking forward to another summer to take his game to an even higher level. I would strongly recommend this program for anyone that is serious about improving their game. Oh, by the way, the cost for the program is very reasonable especially considering the amount of ice time you receive from May through August.

Ken Blum and the PT Bulldogs have been a very positive influence in my son Gregg's hockey career. Beginning at the age of 14 my son began working with Ken on shooting and skating techniques. From there it has progressed to different phases of the game. Because of Ken's knowledge and experience, Gregg has elevated his game to the next level and has committed to St. Lawrence University of the ECAC Division 1. Ken has given my son the confidence to believe in himself, which means everything at the higher levels of hockey.
