"I had the pleasure of coaching John here in Ottawa. He was always a hard worker and very easy to coach. He was a student of the game with a tremendous attitude, always putting the team first. He was the first player on the ice and last off. I have no doubt he would be a welcomed addition to any team. We wish John the best."

"I know John Ceci as a colleague and professional hockey player. He is an intense and competitive goaltender. I believe John is one of the best up and coming goalie coaches. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game and build on their skills."

"John is a student of the game, his dedication, work ethic and knowledge made him a great University goalie leading his team to a National tournament. These same qualities coupled with his ability to communicate and lead help enable him to be an outstanding goalie coach. Kids can't help but learn the position and improve under John's guidance."
Darren Burns
Head Coach Acadia University Men's Varsity Hockey Team
"I started to use John in 2010 to assist my son in his move from AE to AA. What most impressed me about John is that he works with the students strength's and weaknesses to improve their overall game. I have used John for private sessions and team practices and will continue to do so over the summer months and during the season. To date the improvements have been considerable, and I am very pleased with my son's on ice performance."
