Coaches

CanSkate, PowerSkate, and Synchro are club-coached programs. Skaters learn in groups, led by NCCP coaches contracted and paid by the club. All coaching fees are included in registration fees.

StarSkate, Competitive, Pairs, and Ice Dance are privately coached. This means StarSkaters are responsible for hiring their own coach and/or coaching team. All StarSkate coaching fees are invoiced and paid directly to your private coach(es). Registration fees do not include coaching.

If you need assistance in finding a coach, you can reach out to the Coaches’ Rep (powsccoachrep@gmail.com) or Club Administration (powsc@yahoo.com), for an up-to-date list of coaches and contact info.

“I grew up skating with POWSC. I learned to skate and was coached by Wendy Mercer (singles, podium pathway) and also participated in synchro under Shirley Thistle. I moved to Ontario in 2012 to skate with Nexxice Senior. Since then, I have lived and coached synchro & singles in Calgary and Toronto. I am the camp coordinator for a non-profit, OneTeamMVMT, organizing their 2 and 3 day high performance synchro seminars, as well as the Technical Director here at POWSC.”

“As a full time Mechanical Engineering Student at MUN, I’m happy to still be following my passion for skating by coaching at POWSC. I aim to instill the love of skating into all my students by offering lessons in all Skate Canada singles areas (skills, dance, and freeskate) as well as Synchronized Skating. Some of my proudest accomplishments include receiving all four of my Gold pins as of 2018, and placing first in the Skate Canada Open Synchro National Championships in 2022.”
