Elite Hockey Skills Coaching — Power Skating, Edge Work, Game IQ
About #thedaniexpress
Known as #thedaniexpress, Daniil Kulikov is a professional ice hockey player and coach who believes the best hockey always starts with the basics. His training style is simple and demanding: get the fundamentals right, repeat them until they’re automatic, and build a foundation strong enough to hold up under pressure.
For Daniel, hard work and discipline aren’t limits — they’re freedom. When your skating, puck control, positioning, and decisions are reliable, you don’t have to “think” in the game. You can react, adapt, and play fast. That’s where confidence grows, and that’s where creativity starts to show.
Foundation first. Then speed. Then freedom.
Because when the base is solid, creativity doesn’t get forced — it emerges.

LEVEL UP the GAME
Camps
A camp is full immersion—ice and off-ice, day in and day out—so your mind and body can soak in the game and lock new skills in for good. Learn fast what might have taken you weeks to learn in normal training sessions.
Skills Clinics
A hockey clinic is where skills turn into confidence. It’s a focused, short-format training block built around one goal: high-quality repetitions with real feedback—so players don’t just “know” what to do, they can do it under pressure.
Video Analysis
Want to level up faster? Game footage doesn’t lie. Video analysis shows the small details you can’t feel in the moment—timing, spacing, angles, and choices under pressure. With the right feedback, you stop guessing and start improving with purpose.
