I'm Coach Tony Steege. I've spent years developing competitive youth players across Southern California, and I built Coach Tony Hockey to turn that coaching into something repeatable, a structured curriculum with clear standards and visible proof, so every player improves and every parent can see it.
Accelerated Development FrameworkTM
A season-long curriculum that maps where a player stands today, then builds a structured plan to move them up. Progress is measured and skills are progressed across a full-spectrum skill inventory, leaving nothing up to chance.
NHL Skills FormulaTM
I reverse-engineer NHL-level skills into straightforward, easy-to-learn progressions that your player can actually follow and execute in games across all major skill domains - technical skills, tactical skills, and team skills.
Typical private lessons cram 10–15 skaters onto the ice with no roadmap. CTH is a repeatable loop that turns effort into measurable progress.
Players learn the concept first, on-demand video and curriculum, so ice time is spent executing, not explaining.
Small-group sessions drill the skill with direct coaching, 4 to 6 players max.
The skill gets tested under pressure, in games and camps, where habits actually show up.
Game and practice film get broken down with NHL comparisons, so the next fix is obvious.
Written progress reports document the gains, then the loop repeats at a higher level.
I reverse-engineer what NHL players actually do into progressions your player can learn and repeat. Every rep maps to a pro standard, so the next thing to sharpen is never a guess.

I highly recommend Coach Tony for any player looking to take their game to the next level. His passion for coaching and dedication to developing young athletes is truly exceptional!
The structure is the difference. Coach Tony holds the players accountable and the video comparisons make the feedback impossible to argue with.
Coach Tony has been a key component of my son's hockey development, providing him with the essential tools for success and a clear plan to reach his goals.
