Edgework – Master the Basics, Elevate Your Game
From the Founders Who Will Change Your Game
Behind EDGEWORK are two founders who are passionately dedicated to ice hockey.
Tobias Granath, with years of experience in ice hockey, has not only gathered extensive knowledge and expertise (Sweden/ France), but also built an invaluable network in elite sports. Additionally, he holds a Master's degree in Sports, further deepening his expertise.
Niki Staub, who loves event management and thrives on new challenges, co-founded EDGEWORK with Tobias to give young talents the opportunity to take their game to the next level.
The idea for EDGEWORK came about when we had the chance to organize a camp for AYCANE in 2024. The feedback was overwhelming, and the demand was so great that we decided to continue with the project.. We are proud that AYCANE continues to fully support us in this journey. Ice hockey has given us so much in life, and now we want to give something back. We love this sport, and with EDGEWORK, we want to offer young athletes the opportunity to develop and reach their full potential.
