Daniel strikes a rare and impressive balance between structure and enjoyment. There’s often humor in his tone, sometimes laced with a bit of irony, which keeps the energy light and the atmosphere positive out on the ice. Although, don't underestimate him. When a player is out of the process, they’re quickly given a focused, and occasionally repetitive boring task to work on.

For Daniel, work ethic isn’t just important—it’s everything. He firmly believes talent only makes up 1% of success. The rest? That’s 99% hard-earned effort, built through daily commitment and consistency. He’s the kind of coach who’s always approachable, always ready to listen. Whether it’s offering advice, fielding questions, or just chatting one-on-one, he takes time to connect. His practices revolve around mutual respect, a strong work ethic, and a shared drive to improve, day in and day out.
