About Us
At the helm of TEAM Skating Specialists are Co-Head Coaches Karen Allison and Sheryl Ozirny, both of whom are nationally trained figure skating coaches and power skating certified through Skate Canada. With over 45 years of combined coaching experience, they have successfully guided athletes from the age of three to provincial champions.
Driven by a shared enthusiasm for the technical elements of skating and a unified teaching philosophy, Karen and Sheryl embarked on a mission to introduce advanced skating techniques to young athletes in the hockey and ringette communities. They have been offering customized technical power skating programs tailored to the needs of developing skaters since 2020, and have operated under the TEAM Skating Specialists banner since 2022.
TEAM is founded on principles of hands-on instruction, smaller class sizes, and individualized attention. The program emphasizes strong fundamentals, body mechanics, and progressive skill development. With their energy, enthusiasm, expertise, and commitment to excellence, TEAM Skating Specialists is dedicated to helping every skater realize their full potential on the ice.
