Most of these coaches have renowned reputations because they are located in popular hockey markets with abundance of players where hockey is their country’s first or second sport.

In December 2018, Gary Tan from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia reached out to me asking if I would be interested in doing a technical Shooting & Scoring camp with him in Malaysia.

I’m glad I agreed to work with him! I have never met a person with this level of dedication, willingness and passion, not only to improve himself as a hockey teacher but also to pass on all his countless hours of observations and research to his coaches and students.

Furthermore, he is willing to share his opinions! Gary is a true PRO! We need more people like Gary in our hockey development world. I feel privileged to have met him and glad to call him my friend!”

I immediately recognized someone who demonstrates passion, a deep love of teaching the game and an incredible thirst to improve his knowledge and methods. His high drive to grow even brought him to visit me in Northern Canada a few years later! Gary and I stay in touch and I see him as a leader. For me, to lead is to serve, and he is serving the game, serving young hockey players who have a desire to play and is serving his community. I am a very fortunate friend of his and hope to see him continue his great work for a long time.”

We were even more pleased to meet Coach Gary Tan. Jaxon has played hockey since he was 5 and we have yet to meet a coach that is more passionate about the sport than Gary. He is constantly working to improve his knowledge of the game and methods for teaching it to his players. Gary loves what he does and it shows. He builds great relationships with the players both on and off the ice. He is very serious about hockey but, best of all, he knows how to have fun too. We are now back in Houston, Texas – Jaxon is almost 16 and is currently playing for Fair Creek in the ISHL (Inter-Scholastic Hockey League). They won the City Championship last year and finished 4th in the State playoffs. We will always have fond memories of our time in KL and of Jaxon playing for Coach Gary.”  Jason Smith[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/3″][image src=”399″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/4″][image src=”421″][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”3/4″][text_output]“I’ve known Gary for more than 10 years. He has dedicated his life to Ice Hockey and he has constantly been pushing himself to improve his knowledge in Ice Hockey. He is the only Ice Hockey Coach in Malaysia who has got his certification from Canada and he is keen to pass on his knowledge to his students. He is serious with his students when it comes to training to ensure that his students learn something at every class. ”  Khoo Seng Chee, Malaysia National Team Player since 2007[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row inner_container=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”vertical”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”2/3″][text_output]“I met Gary couple of years ago ( around 2010 ) and my son , Zach after seeing him coach, asked me if he could have a few private classes with him . Until then, Zach had only trained occasionally, to get the basics of skating and stick handling down. He had a few classes with Gary, not expecting much . Gary is very patient and his coaching is always fun and very well organized. His ability to break down the basic skills to different parts is amazing. My son’s technical ability soared upwards, now he could shoot accurately in all corners of the net – before then he couldn’t even flick the puck upwards – and his skating technique improved just as much. When we went back to Hong Kong, he found that the group classes were not helping him much anymore, and as a result, seeing as he was really passionate about Ice Hockey all of a sudden, I decided to commit. My son is now 13 and has represented Hong Kong in a variety of Ice Hockey and Inline Hockey tournaments. Thank you for making Zach , Alyssa and myself over these years a wonderful hockey experience training with you ….”

Hi Gary;
I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank you for the training sessions this past week with the boys at Sunway. Bill and I both appreciate your suggestion for private training and it is apparent that it was a worthwhile investment of time, money and hockey laundry. It was super that you knew already the skills that the boys had to work on and logically worked on the progression through the days of training. The video analysis and immediate correction was a great teaching tool for the kids to immediately see what they were doing right and wrong. I also think that the six successive days put Jack and Tom in hockey training mode each morning. It was nice to see them skating in the daytime instead of half asleep at night too. As I said to the boys after one session, “Gary not only does a good job on the hockey side of things but he also conducted himself very professionally”. You were there on time, each day and even sent a note the day you might be a few minutes late. It may seem like a small thing, but for the hockey mom getting two kids dressed and ready at the ice it means a lot, thanks.
I am also pleased that you still pointed out a couple of skills that they might still need to improve upon. You can chat with Bill about it and we can consider another set of training sessions at a later date. It is great to know that this hockey option can exist for us when we are on a different school schedule for the rest of the kids. Plus, the most important Jack and Tom had a lot of fun and laughs with you and they really enjoyed their week at Sunway with Gary.
Many Thanks,
Kim and Bill Carnahan
