Propel Pro, a digital coaching platform that blends soccer and hockey training with AI‑driven analytics, has announced a major expansion of its hockey offering by appointing Martin Brodeur, Hall of Fame netminder, as chief of athlete development.
Brodeur will lead the recruitment of coaches, shape curriculum and oversee instruction methodology, while the platform’s AI tool Darwin provides video breakdowns, live virtual sessions and automated progress reports that outline individualized development pathways.
Founded by Daniel Levy after struggling to locate quality resources for his son’s hockey training, Propel Pro now serves both individual athletes and group sessions, allowing coaches to set their own rates — often starting at $125 per lesson — and to offer on‑demand “Coach on Call” experiences accessible from anywhere.
The company has forged a partnership with the Vermont Soccer Association to extend its developmental model statewide, and its automated reports give parents clear insight into key milestones, reducing administrative load on coaches.
Brodeur’s Legacy Meets Modern Coaching
Drawing on decades of NHL experience and his own mentorship of sons Anthony and Jeremy at the Brodeur Hockey School, Martin Brodeur brings a nuanced, age‑specific approach to player growth, emphasizing tailored instruction that adapts to each stage of development.
Manny Legace, a former NHL All‑Star, along with his sons Anthony and Jeremy Brodeur, are among the first coaches to join the platform, while basketball skills specialist Rich Dalatri has been named director of player performance, further diversifying Propel Pro’s expertise.
Through these collaborations, Propel Pro aims to bridge gaps in youth sports development, leveraging technology to deliver expert coaching, measurable outcomes and a seamless experience for athletes, families and coaches alike.
