    WHAT OUR PLAYERS SAY

    Ty Readman

    My experience with Lead Sports training over the past 2 summers has been nothing short of top notch. Between the off-ice and on ice services they offer the summer program is truly elite and has prepared me exceptionally for the hockey season. The environment they create at the gym is awesome and I know everyone enjoys showing up each day to be a part of it. I’ve really seen a great growth in the program since I’ve started and it’s exciting to see Evolve becoming a high end off season program in the city.
