Testimonials
Nicholas has a very unique approach to coaching. My son Shayne made more gains in three months with Nicholas than in over two years with other coaches and trainers.
Goals are clearly established from the start with a hands-on approach and the results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend Nicholas.

Nick was amazing and worked with my daughters (both hockey players) on edge work technique, strides etc. He was incredible with the girls and their skill level improved significantly.

Nicholas is a marvelous coach. He is a professional with much
patience and always with a smile. Best of all he made my granddaughter fall in love with skating.
Him teaching long hours makes him hard to get. But he is a gift to us.

Nicholas is an inspiring and professional coach. My son not only
improved his skating and edge work, but he had tons of fun too!
When you see your child work hard, receive positive feedback from an enthusiastic coach and witness your child get off the ice with a smile on his face, it is priceless!
As a parent, you want the best for your kids and it is clear that Nicholas shares that same vision!"

Nick worked with my 12 year old son James, a AA hockey player for an intensive spring session this year.
James' coaches noticed a big improvement, particularly his speed and acceleration.
James really enjoys working with Nick. He feels that Nick pushes him hard in each session and is noticing the results.

Nick has coached our daughter for the past three years. His teaching skills are second to none. Nick is excellent at relating to children. He has turned the hard work of developing advanced figure skating skills, into fun for our daughter.
Becoming a competitive figure skater requires a lot of time and commitment on everyone's part. Nick is extremely committed to what he does and he is very patient.
Nick also has been an excellent mentor for our daughter. Not only has she developed tremendously as a competitive figure skater under Nick's coaching, but Nick has also been instrumental in teaching our daughter many important life skills at the same time.
Finding Nick to teach our daughter has been a great experience for our family. We would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is looking for
a top tier coaching experience.

I had been looking to make a change in coaching for months. Nick helped me exit a very challenging situation.
My daughter made more progress and improvement in three months with Nick than she had in the previous 7 months with another coach.
Nick’s enthusiasm and energy were contagious and she once again remembered why she loved the sport.
I would highly recommend Nick as a coach!

Nick tailors his teaching approach to the individual needs of each child. He
provides an optimal mix of fun and instruction. As a result, my son not only
improved his skating in a short period of time but also his confidence when he
next began playing hockey. If you're looking for a skilled and seasoned skating
coach for your kid who is a pleasure to deal with then I highly recommend Nick.

As a former high level competitor in figure skating, I wanted a kind and
compassionate coach for my daughter that was not only strong from a technical
and choreography perspective, but would also help foster a love for the
sport. Nick is the perfect choice for my daughter.
He is very professional, gentle, supportive and knowledgable about the figure
skating world both at the test and competitive levels. He is out there on the ice
every time with the kids showing them how to do a certain jump, spin or dance as
well as off ice conditioning. My daughter looks forward to going to figure skating
every time and having her lesson with Nick. I strongly recommend Nicholas as a
figure skating teacher.

Nick has been a great one on one skating coach.
Andrew likes hockey but we took the approach to focus on improving his skating before having him join a team. After two years of group lessons, we hired coach Nick to give Andrew more attention than he was getting in the class.
Big difference!
Nick was always punctual and friendly. Andrew was always eager and excited to see
and work with 'Coach Nick'. For the full 50 mins Nick would run Andrew through
the drills and there was rarely a down moment. Andrew now has a strong command of the basics and as he improves he will be doing things the right way. We have Coach Nick to thank for that.

Father of Andrew
Nick has an effective style of teaching. Our kids looked forward to
their lessons and their skills improved noticeably over one season. I would use
him again and would recommend him to others.
Dave Mason
Father of Luc & Natalie
Nick has been not only an unbelievable coach but an amazing friend as well. He genuinely cares about every single skater he works with. There isn't another person that I have met in the ice skating world who I look up to the way i look up to Nick.
He has taught my son so much about skating and life in general. My son has learned not only how to become a better skater but how to be the all-around best person.
Bijan
Father of Jiyar
Nick has been coaching my daughter in figure skating for the past three
years. From the moment they started working together, my daughter felt at home
with Nick - he is a great teacher, and very patient and supportive. So much of
skating is about trusting: trusting your skates, your balance, your strength. Nick
has helped my daughter establish that, and she loves the sport now.
Heather Culbert
Mother of Mallory
Coach Nick is great with kids! He really helped my son improve his technical skating, specifically his edge work.
Highly recommend Coach Nick for anyone looking to take their skating to the next level.

As someone who started figures skating as an adult, I was very lucky to have
Nick as one of my coaches. Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango and Baby Blues, were
some of the dances I learned thanks to him.
Nick is very professional and patient, he pays attention to detail and puts lots of
effort into improving his student's technique. He is also very friendly, kind, and fun,
my session with him were always very enjoyable.
Another quality of him I appreciated a lot is how reliable he is, he was always on
time for the classes and never canceled. I can confidently say Nick is a great
skating coach and I highly recommend him for adults as well as kids.

Our family has been very grateful to have Nick coach our boys.
Speed, quick turns, backwards skating etc. have all been improved.
Nick’s creative approach keeps the boys interested and on their toes.
