My goal is to equip athletes with the tools they need to excel in their skating abilities, contributing to their overall success and enjoyment in the game of hockey.
“Emily’s knowledge of skating, especially edge work, has proven in itself to help all hockey players she has come across to teach. She breaks down the fundamentals of skating to basic elements. Her drills and techniques help players build power, balance and agility, and she helps skaters elevate and build their skating strides. Her upbeat and charismatic attitude make it fun to be on the ice with her.”

Camps
Camps are typically held over a set duration in a group setting. Participants will focus on various aspects of skating technique specific to hockey and engage in a comprehensive program that focuses on building fundamentals to elevate their skating proficiency.
Lessons
Individualized lessons offer personalized training to enhance a player’s skating skills. Tailored to the specific needs and goals of the individual, these lessons focus on refining techniques such as stride efficiency, edge control, and agility. Emily analyzes players’ strengths and weaknesses, providing targeted feedback for improvement. This customized approach allows players to progress at their own pace, addressing specific areas of development to elevate their overall performance on the ice.
Small Groups
Small group training sessions provide a dynamic and collaborative learning environment for players. With a limited number of participants, each skater receives personalized attention while benefiting from the shared energy and motivation of the group. These sessions focus on refining fundamental skating skills, including stride mechanics, edge work, and agility. The small group setting allows for targeted feedback from the instructor, fostering a sense of camaraderie as players work together to enhance their skating abilities.
Virtual Sessions
Virtual hockey lessons bring my expertise directly to players through online platforms. I use video conferencing technology to provide guidance on essential skating skills. Participants will receive personalized drills, video analysis feedback feedback, and benefit from the convenience of learning from home.
