Jodi is one of the most fun loving, patient and knowledgeable trainers we have come across to date. If you’re willing to listen and bring a positive attitude to Jodi’s classes…I’m certain you’ll get unbelievable results! Jodi has definitely taken my son Charlie’s hockey to another level. She has a magic touch!

Every time my son is in a slump, it’s time to call “Dr. Jodi”! After a few sessions he’s flying again. Skating used to be one of my sons weaknesses but Jodi has helped turn his skating into one of his major strengths! Lastly, Jodi has found a way to make technical power skating fun. (a very hard thing to do) She’s a master of her craft. We love you Jodi!

In the summer of 2021, I was looking for someone to train my 08’ AAA son and his teammates and work exclusively on technical skating. I wanted to focus on improving edge work while lengthening their stride and improving their agility and speed.

When I found Jodi at JF Power Elite on Instagram, I knew she was the right person for the job. Jodi was extremely knowledgeable and had a great ability to break down the fundamentals of the stride in a way that was easy to understand. She is always engaged, following each player along making constant corrections and explaining the importance of doing things the RIGHT way, not the EASY way. Jodi was always able to keep the drills fun and the kids learned a ton in the process.

I look forward to having my son and his teammates skate with her again next summer and would recommend Jodi at JF Power Elite to anyone just starting looking to improve their skating or even the most seasoned player looking to take their game to the next level!

Our two hockey players have been training with Jodi for the past year and a half and we are so thankful for everything that she has taught them. Both our players have skated with Jodi with their hockey teams as well as in her weekly Power Skating classes.

Jodi creates a fun learning environment that strives for excellence. Her drills are creative, fast paced, and effective. Jodi ensures that every skater takes their time to get it right so that they improve each week. She has expertise in her knowledge of edges, balance, and body position. Her flexible schedule is perfect for busy hockey families. We highly recommend Jodi for anyone looking to improve their game.

We have been fans of Jodi and her JF Power Elite skating program for many years. We were first introduced to Jodi through the 09’ AAA Don Mills Flyers, our older son’s hockey team; however now, we have all four of our kids on the ice with her practicing under her leadership either in team or individual skills sessions throughout the year. She brings out the competitive edge in the players, encourages them to reach their individual potential each skate while always creating a safe and fun environment.

Jodi and her team always show up prepared and ready to work hard and have fun. The kids are so lucky to have access to such a wonderful skating coach who they love to learn from. We highly recommend Jodi and the JF Power Elite program.

Working with Jodi has been one of the best decisions made for my hockey career so far. I was a good, fast skater before I trained with Jodi, but I knew I had to improve to get to the next level of hockey competition. Jodi introduces new drills focusing on proper technique. She provides you with the feedback and corrections needed in order to get better and better each week. Jodi's sessions helped me with my skating speed, agility, edges, and balance work all while providing a safe and judge-free zone. In games, I am much more confident with my edge work than ever before. Jodi, thanks for making our sessions valuable and fun too. I look forward to continuing working with you in the future.

We’ve worked with a lot of skating coaches over the years and Jodi is the best. Her detailed technical instruction has steadily progressed my son’s skating skills to the point we get comments on it regularly. The added bonus is that Jodi is a joy to work with and we are always happy to get to her sessions.

We have worked with Jodi over the past few years and she is fantastic.  Her focus is technique so within the first few sessions we could clearly see the impact she had on each player. It can take some players time to adjust to the figure skating training, but Jodi makes it very comfortable and takes the time to explain and demonstrate each drill.  She corrects the players instantly so they not only see a difference but can feel the improvement immediately.  Jodi is very kindhearted, which really puts the players at ease and her passion for skating has them engaged for the entire session.  Jodi has been a tremendous asset to all our players, and I see a huge difference in their skating abilities.  In today’s hockey world the skating training is a must and Jodi is by far one of the best."

Both of our boys play hockey and we hired Jodi to work with our boys (10 and 8) to improve their skating style, speed and edges. Jodi focuses on proper technique and doing drills correctly rather than powering through them. She breaks the skating stride process down into individual aspects and explains every aspect worked on.  Jodi’s knowledge of skating is excellent. You will receive a hands-on personalized approach that is nothing short of excellent and it will be delivered in the most positive and energetic way. If you are looking for a top-notch skating instructor Jodi is the one for you."

Karen has been skating with my son, and his teammates, for 10 years.  Her direction and corrections translate perfectly to hockey.  Her technical skill development is fantastic and would help any player regardless of age or level, improve their game."

We have been fortunate to have Jodi work with my son Michael for the last 2 years in helping him with his skating technique, stride and edge work.   Jodi’s unique approach to teaching has made the experience both enjoyable and fun while at the same time greatly improving Michael’s skating ability.  Jodi’s outgoing personality and attention to detail work well in enhancing the learning experience while still pushing the limits of each child’s ability.  I have seen firsthand in game situations how Jodi’s skating lessons have translated into significant changes in Michael’s game play.  I certainly have no hesitation referring Jodi."

Jodi is a kind, patient, and a dedicated skating coach. No matter the student’s age and/or skill level, all skaters can grow and benefit greatly from Jodi’s teaching. I first met Jodi when I was 12 years old. I had never even put on skates before, and two years later, I am skating at an Intermediate level with other kids my age.  Jodi is incredibly encouraging and enthusiastic with all of her skaters, and her dedication to the sport truly shines through in her teaching. She brought me to a level in skating that I never dreamed I would be able to get to, and I truly believe it is solely because I have Jodi as my coach."

I have worked with Karen in a professional capacity for the past 7 years. As a coach Karen brings not only the technical knowledge but her mental approach is second to none. Karen believes not only in progress and effort of athletes, but she prides herself on the coach/athlete relationship and bringing the best out of everyone on and off the ice. Karen’s knowledge of the Canadian sport landscape is extensive, and she works closely on stage appropriate coaching using the NCCP and LTAD recognized programs."
