About Promero Hockey
Built on a passion for developing young hockey players in Saskatchewan.
Our Story
Promero Hockey was founded to fill a gap in youth hockey development. Too many young players plateau — not because they lack talent, but because they lack access to the right coaching and feedback. We built Promero to change that.
Our camps, clinics, and video review programmes give players at every stage of development the tools and attention they need to keep improving, season after season.
How We're Different
Detail-Driven Coaching
We don't just run drills. Every session is intentional, every rep has a purpose, and every player gets real feedback.
Development Over Everything
Winning is great. Getting better is the point. We focus on long-term player development, not short-term results.
Accessible to Everyone
Elite-level coaching shouldn't only be available to elite-level budgets. We keep our programmes affordable and accessible.
Meet the Coaches
Greg Park has spent most of his life around the game of hockey — as a player, coach, parent, and lifelong student of the sport. After playing at a high competitive level, including NCAA Div I and the WHL, Greg developed a deep understanding of what it takes to compete, improve, and carry yourself the right way on and off the ice.
Throughout his playing and coaching journey, Greg has had the opportunity to work with and learn from respected players and coaches, including Paul Pooley (Winnipeg Jets), Rick Bennett (New York Rangers), Mike Babcock (Detroit Red Wings), and many more. Greg has also coached and helped develop talented young players, including Alex Kannok-Liepert (AHL), Carson Denomie (Regina Pats), Carter Hanson (Moose Jaw Warriors), Tim McGauley (AHL), and many more. Those experiences helped shape his coaching philosophy: build strong fundamentals, teach the game properly, demand effort, and help young athletes grow in confidence.
For Greg, coaching youth hockey is not just about winning games. It is about building players, building confidence, and helping kids develop a love for the game that can last a lifetime.
About Greg
Greg’s passion is youth hockey. He believes the best coaches do more than run drills — they teach habits, decision-making, compete level, positioning, discipline, and respect for the game. His goal is to help players understand why they are doing something, not just what to do. Whether working with beginners or competitive players, Greg focuses on creating an environment where kids are challenged, supported, and excited to improve.
Hockey is also a major part of Greg’s family life.
His two sons both play hockey, and he has coached and supported them throughout their development. His daughter is a dedicated figure skater, giving Greg and his family a full appreciation for the discipline, commitment, and athleticism required in ice sports. As a hockey dad, figure skating dad, and coach, Greg understands the balance between development, competition, confidence, and keeping the game fun for young athletes.
Greg’s coaching approach is built around hard work, accountability, team play, and long-term development. He wants every player he coaches to leave the ice better than when they arrived — not only as a hockey player, but as a teammate and young person.
Meet Derek
Hi, my name is Derek Lake and I live in Regina with my wife and our three sons—Connor, Brooks, and Maguire. I work as an electrician with the Regina Fire Department. Hockey has always been a big part of my life. I grew up playing minor hockey with Hockey Regina, progressing from U9 all the way to the Regina Pat Canadians, and I also spent four seasons playing Junior B with the Pilot Butte Storm.
As a father to three boys who are all deeply involved in the game, I have an even greater appreciation for how important it is for kids to have a positive, fun, and supportive hockey experience. The game has evolved significantly, and skill development, decision‑making, and confidence with the puck have become more important than ever. Those skills aren’t built through pressure or fear of mistakes—they’re built in environments where kids feel supported, challenged, and excited to learn.
About Derek
I’ve been coaching for the past seven seasons, from the 3/4/5 level up to U11, with a strong emphasis on individual skill development, teamwork, and fostering a genuine love for the game. My approach is grounded in the belief that when players feel encouraged and confident, they are more willing to take chances, try new skills, and push themselves to improve. Creating a positive culture—where effort is valued, mistakes are part of learning, and development comes before results—is something I see as essential for helping young players grow, not just as hockey players, but as people.
For me, coaching is about more than wins and losses. It’s about helping kids enjoy the game, build confidence, develop respect for teammates and coaches, and learn lessons that extend beyond hockey. If players leave the season having fun, improving their skills, and feeling better about themselves, then I consider that a successful year.
Meet Mitch
My name is Mitch Lazorko. I live in Regina with my wife, Jayme, and our two kids, Hudson and Dawsyn, who keep our family plenty busy around the rink.
I came up through Hockey Regina's minor hockey system, and looking back, the biggest thing I took from those years wasn't the games - it was what being part of a team teaches you. I wrapped up my playing career with two seasons in the Highway Hockey League with the Semans Wheat Kings, and by the time I hung up the skates, I already knew I wanted to stay involved in the game from the bench.
I've been coaching since the 2009-2010 season, and I've spent just as much time working hockey camps, helping players outside of the regular season sharpen the things that don't always get enough attention during a busy schedule.
About Mitch
I think the best hockey environments strike a balance - competitive enough that kids are pushed and engaged, fun enough that they actually want to be there, but always anchored in development. Anyone can run a drill.
What matters more to me is slowing down enough to actually teach it - breaking a skill or habit down so a player understands it, not just repeats it. That's the difference between a player who can execute a drill and one who can execute under pressure, in a real game, months later.
I don't think the value stops at the blue line. Team sports teach kids how to communicate, how to handle setbacks, how to show up for people who aren't having their best day - lessons that stick with them long after hockey. If a player leaves my group having grown as a teammate and a person, alongside becoming a better hockey player, that's the whole job done right.
