meh, there's a significant difference between figure skating and skating to improve hockey performance.

A good start though

Since when is Tara McKay a figure skater? Hockey only bud.

I guess the fact that she works with Gary Roberts and trains a lot of the top NHL players over the summer counts for nothing in your book?

She's good, but she's figure skating based. Hockey training, and in this case technical skating, has evolved. She's very good though bud. I would chose a hockey performance based instructor over her though bud.

What?????

if you want a has-been (or never was) to watch you skate laps around an oval all day long for a boat load of money, he is your guy

You have no idea. Don't comment until you take 4-5 of his sessions. He is elite.

Guest wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2024 5:18 am I have been to them all with multiple kids. Tara is solid, if you are the star on the ice. if your kid is mid. no attention.

there are maybe a handful of coaches that are really top end.

by that I mean they are great with kids, have incredible skills on ice, are intelligent and articulate, with the ability to leverage technology for teaching.

14 years in this And there is only 2 who had this skillset.
The one thing I know is that figure skating coaches (that pretend to be power skating coaches are the biggest waste of money you will get. find a hockey player that is a good skater and they will teach you more than a tart with out any hockey experience.
