Step into the Lab and take your game to the next level.
At Gerbe Hockey Lab, Nathan develops complete players by building hockey IQ, identity, and habits through detailed video review and on-ice training. The focus is on developing confident athletes who understand the game and execute with purpose.
Nathan is a father of four, and hockey has been a huge part of his life for as long as he can remember. He loves being present with his family and spending time coaching his kids’ teams. For Nathan, some of the most meaningful moments in hockey now come from sharing the game with his own children and being involved in their experience.
What he loves most about sports is everything they can teach beyond the game. How to work, how to compete, how to handle adversity, and how to keep going when things don’t come easily.
Nathan has always loved the process more than just the end goal. Development happens in the everyday work. The repetition, discipline, setbacks, adjustments, and small improvements are what eventually add up to something bigger. He wants players to learn how to embrace that process instead of only focusing on the result.
Through his own experiences in hockey and in life, Nathan has learned the value of hard work, perseverance, integrity, and discipline. His goal is to help players understand what they are capable of, recognize their threshold for work and compete, and learn how to push beyond it.
At the end of the day, Nathan wants to help develop better hockey players, but more importantly, he wants to help develop confident and disciplined people who understand the value of doing hard things.
Parent of Skills Skate Athlete
"Lights out better than anything we have done. Constant movement, little to no standing around waiting for reps, and lots of reps to get the skill to stick. Lots of drills to help develop high end players think differently than they are used to as well as combining skating skills with puck control. Great mix of edge work, hockey IQ, puck skills."
Youth AAA Hockey Parent
"Gerbe Hockey Lab used the whole 80 minutes. High pace skate using the entire ice not four sections goal line to goal line. All birth years were held accountable for their efforts and performance."
Youth AAA Hockey Parent
"The continuous edge work involved in each drill with the overall endurance component made these two skates superior to all other camps. The high intensity was extremely impressive."
Youth AAA Hockey Parent
"Probably the best I have seen. Well ran and executed. High skill level players and utilized the entire ice surface and time so well. The kids were always moving fast and the drills touched on many skills. I liked the heavy skating at the beginning of practice to improve the conditioning then move into more edgework and puck handling."
Youth AAA Hockey Parent
"Your camp is one of the best we have attended. 3 days was the perfect number of days. We also loved that you emphasized the importance of work ethic, belief, overcoming adversity, respect and being a great teammate. Most coaches and camps only focus on skills. Taking the time to talk about and share examples of what it takes to be successful not just on the ice but in life was AWESOME!"
