Testimonials

My son has been working with Ashley for three years and his edges, speed and overall mechanics have improved immensely.
Ashley’s attention to detail, positive feedback and commitment to making him the best he can be has translated in his development.
The lessons and dedication my son has learnt from Ashley has shown with his transition from A to AAA this year.

Thanks for all your help!

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

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 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 had a great rapport with our players.  With her help our team improved both our forward and backwards skating, increasing our speed and power.  The results were easy to see in our games and our end of season time trials were on average 2 seconds faster than the start of the year. She also does a great job of working with our players on focus and concentration during the off ice JOGA sessions.  I would highly recommend Ashley.

Ashley is an incredibly talented coach.  She is both skilled instructor, and caring mentor.  She cares about athlete development and injury prevention in equal measure.  My daughter wouldn’t choose to train with anyone else.

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.

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.

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!

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.
