"Victory is never admitting defeat" – Bobby Orr
​
As a Calgary resident with over 25 years of skating expertise, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the ice. My coaching journey has taken me internationally, with a focus on training children aged 6–16. Backed by an extensive hockey background, I've had the honor of achieving three national championships and a silver medal with the University of Alberta.
​
My power skating career began at just 12 years old as a junior instructor with Skate Canada, earning certification at 17. Since then, I've owned and coached at multiple hockey schools across Canada and the United States, training over 1,000 athletes annually.
​
My Philosophy:
Hockey is a marathon, not a sprint. Progress comes through time, dedication, and focused effort. Skating muscles require unique training unlike any other sport. I emphasize mental development alongside physical skills, teaching athletes how to push their limits while fostering positive self-talk and resilience.
​
Current Focus: Today, I concentrate on consulting minor hockey teams, providing private lessons, and running specialized camps. Each program is tailored to help athletes refine their skills and achieve their personal best.
