The spirit and enthusiasm that you bring to the camps is much appreciated and motivating to the kids. My son Michael (8 years old) has attended a couple of them and really enjoyed himself and learned a lot.

We want to personally thank you for all that you have done for our boys in allowing them to help out with sled hockey. They have become more compassionate and kind young men by being able to serve others. Thank you for all that you have done for us and so many other families!
We look forward to seeing what the future holds for you and will support you in anyway possible on and off the rink!
Joe, Kirsten, Josh & Justin Alvarez

I was never kidding when I said "you are the hardest working guy in hockey".  It has been a pleasure and a learning experience working with you for all of these years.  Your "positive sandwich" helped me become a completely different coach.  100% for the better.  You have single handedly done more for youth hockey in this area than anyone.  Hands down.  You did it from the heart and the good of
the sport as well. Great things will happen for you coach.  I have no doubt. Without coaches like you along the way, our son Logan would have never made it to prep school as a freshman.
Our best to you and your family.
Andy Dawn Logan and Jordan Day

You have become the name and face of hockey in Tampa and I for one appreciate it. I assure you that where David Cole goes, hockey in Tampa goes too. If I may make an observation as to an area I feel is an opportunity it would be in the area of organized, structured development programs and camps focused on defensemen and goalies. Keep your head held high and be proud of what you have accomplished in your role here. We, the players and fans owe you a debt of gratitude.
Jeff Saunders

We will follow David Cole anywhere!  You have done so much to help Drennen develop as a goalie but we have more work to do!!!!!  Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication working with children and their hockey development and I am at least glad that this will still continue.  I feel like we are forever in debt.  We will see you at the rink!
Kayla Jennings

I don't think I have ever met a person more dedicated to the team, sport, and the children as David Cole. As a matter of fact, I know I never have.
Deb Mancuso

You are the face of youth hockey and you always have a smile on your face.  You put in endless hours towards working with these kids. I can't even begin to imagine where things would have gone with our son Ian without you and your camps
and your great attitude. Thank you for all the time you spent with my child and I hope you remain as
involved in the local area youth hockey scene as you had been.
Max Yokell

Over the years, we have watched you work with many young hockey players in the greater Tampa Bay area who benefited from your camps and promotional activities. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and know that you have touched
the lives of so many hockey fans, young and old. We wish you continued success in the weeks and months ahead and we look forward to seeing you on the ice sometime soon.
William, Desiree' and Will Polmear

First let me say that Earl and I love what you have done for the Fan Development in Tampa!  YOU are the face of youth hockey in the Tampa Bay market! We will look for you and your camps this summer.  We will also be happy to forward
anything you want us to, on to other hockey families.  Please stay in touch with us.
Margie and Earl Lanoue
