ABOUT US
Head of Development & Founder DL Hockey
DL Hockey was founded on the belief that every player - regardless of age or performance - has room to grow with the right approach. Our Play Better philosophy means not only playing better on the ice, but also developing responsibility, discipline and confidence off the ice. We focus on an individual approach, consistently developing game and technical actions.
The name is based on the name of the former professional player Denis Legerský, who today works with leading Slovak hockey players and at the same time helps to educate a new generation of young athletes.
We are based in Liptovský Mikuláš, but we operate internationally - we organize camps, trainings and individual programs for anyone who wants to take the next step in their hockey career. Whether you are a parent of a young hockey player or a player looking for a boost, you will find support, expertise and a clear path forward at DL Hockey.
