Our founder Lance Pitlick, founding partner of Sweet Hockey and inventor of SweetHands Stick Handling Hockey Trainer, played 393 games in National Hockey League (NHL) spanning over twelve seasons with the Ottawa Senators and the Florida Panthers. Lance is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, where he was a standout defenseman and captain of the Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey team. He ran his own highly successful hockey camp, “Lance Pitlick’s Hockey Skill Development School” for five years.

Lance is currently a youth hockey coach in the Wayzata Hockey Association in Minnesota and he also works as a skill development coach for several other programs. Lance invented Sweet Hands in response to the lack of true skill development tools available for young hockey players. His goal is for every young player to develop their skills, have fun doing it, and develop the love and respect for the game that he shares today.

SweetHands is the most innovative stickhandling product on the market today. Consisting of eight (8) total pieces (two end pieces with arm and two bases, and six middle pieces with one base and one arm), SweetHands can be configured into one 8 foot training device or two separate 4 foot devices.
