Testimonials

Her professionalism, commitment and genuine interests in her skaters’ development along with her strong and focused personality make her an excellent skating coach! Ashley is a strong motivator who takes interest, makes time, and creates positive differences in all aspects of her skaters’ lives. We are very fortunate to have her, pleased with her mentoring style, and highly recommend her as an effective coach.

Ashley is a dedicated professional instructor who has the ability to make each player reach their potential. The edge work and balance techniques Ashley teaches makes players stronger on their skates and provides them the confidence to be agile and strong on the puck.

Ashley’s programs are always very well organized. Skaters are always moving and receive constant feedback throughout the session. My children are at different skating levels and Ashley is always able to adjust the drills to challenge each individual skater.

Ashley was amazing to have on the ice this past summer with my spring AAA U15 hockey team. Her professionalism and technique for power skating is incredible. She is knowledgeable, reliable and pays attention to detail. All of my players benefited and progressed   week by week. All the players really enjoyed having her teaching and wanted more every week. They all learned how important skating  abilities are for hockey and Ashley was the right person to inject that mentality in all of my hockey players.

Thank you for all your help this summer. You made my job way more enjoyable and easier.

Ashley Holmes Power Skating has been by far one of the best decisions we made to improve the skating and overall speed of our group. Our players look forward to every ice session we have. Within these past few months, we started to see a significant improvement. One of our parents even dubbed the weekly morning sessions “Need For Speed” since our group has seen that their speed and acceleration increase.

If you want to improve your skating and speed we highly recommend Ashley Holmes Power Skating

Ashley is a top-level skating coach. Ashley has been working with my son and his hockey friends for the last year and we can see their improvement in edgework, agility and speed. She is great with kids of all ages, really understanding how to teach and motivate them. Every practice is tailored to challenge the specific group and ensure the most benefit. She is able to spend time with each child while running a high energy, positive practice. My son loves attending her sessions and we highly recommend Ashley Holmes for power skating.

Ashley is outstanding with children! She has taught my son excellent technique. She breaks it down in such a way that is understandable for young skaters. My son loves his skill sessions with Ashley!

Over the past year, Ashley’s skating sessions has taught our 10-year-old son proper skating technique and has made him into a confident skater on the ice.  His uncertainty with his edge work at the beginning was noticeable but after just a few sessions with Ashley his edge work improved tremendously.  Throughout the year, he enjoyed working with Ashley to improve his skating.

Ashley is an amazing, motivating, talented and knowledgeable coach. She’s fabulous with our twin 9 year old girls, pushing them to try their hardest and always ready with a tip or trick that they can internalize and make their own. We’ve seen such an improvement in both of our girls’ edge work and speed, and they’re always super sweaty after their sessions, and still ask to back the following week, huge win!

Yes, I would recommend  Ashley in a heartbeat! She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from her professional skating years that will help any inspiring hockey player. Her edgework sessions challenge players young and old. Ashley’s small groups allow her to build a rapport with the kids and time to correct, a much-needed task.
