Nolan Lamberti
Player Skills Coach
Nolan Lamberti has over 20 years of experience. His love for the game came from his two older brothers, both of whom played junior hockey and college hockey. Nolan specializes in puck skills, consisting of shooting, stick handling, passing, deking and skating. With his experience and his time working with Long Island University’s Mens D1 Ice Hockey team in both practices and games, it has allowed him to understand the intricacies of how forwards and defenders can effectively and efficiently play the game. Nolan has spent time over the last two years working Learn to Play programs around Long Island. He comes from a very generous family, who over the past 10+ years has given back to the Long Island community in the name of hockey. The 24 Hour Hockey Helps Marathon is held annually every Labor Day Weekend with support from former NHL and olympic hockey players such as Adam Graves, Stephane Mattaeu, Benoit Hogue, Colton Orr, Megan Bozek, and Boo Nieves. Nolan is fortunate enough to call these athletes great friends. Nolan’s mission as a coach for players of all ages is to help them fall in love with hockey and gain friendships that will last forever, the way he was able to do.
