What Players Say

Trusted by Players Across Canada.

Jessica runs an amazing skate. After one skate I gained a new perspective on skating that I never had thought of before. She explains every drill with great attention to detail, and why each drill will help you become a stronger and more confident skater. She engages players and gets you excited to learn more each skate. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to improve their skating abilities.

Jessica is an awesome skating coach. She translates figure skating techniques seamlessly into in-game scenarios, making it all practical and applicable in games and practice. Jessica breaks down your skating and helps you take your edge work and stride to the next level. She has made me more comfortable on my edges and improved my stride length. I highly suggest working with Jessica if you're serious about taking your skating to the next level.

My skating completely changed after two months with Jessica. I'm beating guys to pucks I had no chance of winning before, and my coaches noticed right away.

Jessica understands hockey skating in a way no other coach we've worked with does. She isn't running figure skating drills. She's teaching the skating our game actually demands.

The first stride, the crossovers, the edge work in battles. Everything I needed to sharpen before tryouts, Jessica built in three months.

We travelled in for a week of sessions and it was worth every kilometre. My daughter came home a noticeably more confident skater.
