Pre-CanSkate, CanSkate, JR Star, & STAR Coach
After retiring from the competitive figure skating many years ago, I decided in 2015
that I missed it. I went to my local arena where we lived at the time, and introduced
myself, thus starting down my coaching journey. The sport had really changed in 20
years!!
In 2018 we relocated to Southwestern Ontario, but it wasn’t until 2022 that I was
able to connect with a club in the area.
In 2022, I decided that I wanted to train to compete again as an adult skater and it
is thru my journey as a skater, I also obtained a coaching position.
This year I am coaching at three clubs and I am so excited to be a part of the
amazing coaching team here in Mitchell!
My goal and focus are always to help the skater understand and reach their fullest
potential in a safe and positive training environment.
I have a degree in Adult Education and I also have my Project Manager Professional
Designation. All this helps me with developing the skaters. I currently also provide
training in First Aid and CPR through St. John Ambulance.
When I am not skating, I enjoy travelling and knitting a comfy sweater.
Power Skating Coach
Kevin is a NCCP Certified Power Skating Coach with Skate Canada. Kevin has taught Power Skating for Twin City Hockey Skating School, Wilmot Wolverines, Girls Hockey Association, and the AAA Huron/Perth Lakers. He has also taught privately up to Jr. B Level. Kevin currently coaches all levels of the Skate Canada Program in New Hamburg and Stratford.
Kevin believes that proper techniques that are taught properly and practiced correctly will help skaters improve at a faster speed. Power skating helps the stronger players hone in on their skills and allows the weaker skaters the ability to catch up! Kevin’s goal with Power Skating is to provide all skaters with the knowledge necessary to help them enjoy their hockey or ringette experience!
