I have nothing but great things to say about Jodi and the jfpowerelite brand. I can confidently say that Jodi has taken my game to another level. I’ve been working with Jodi for 7 years now and it has made me a better skater all around. The amount of care that she has for her students is off the charts. Every time I step onto the ice with her, I’m prepared to have a blast while being pushed to the best of my ability. I can’t express it enough on how much Jodi has improved my skating and I’ll forever be grateful.

Charlie Murata
OHL Flint Firebirds

I first heard about Jodi through the power skating community and I’ve now been working with her for about 7–8 years. Over that time, she’s had a huge impact on my development as a skater. What I like best about her sessions is how they strike the perfect balance between being fun and challenging. I always enjoy being on the ice with her, but at the same time, she consistently pushes me to improve and reach a higher level. One thing that really stands out about her coaching style is how supportive and motivating she is. She creates a positive environment while still holding you to a high standard, which helps build both confidence and skill. Since working with her, I’ve seen significant improvements in my skating, especially in my technique, consistency, and overall performance. I feel more confident applying what I’ve learned in both practice and competition.

Lincoln Edwards
OJHL King Rebellion/OHL North Bay Battalion

I’ve been working with Jodi for about 7 years now and it has made a massive difference in my game.  My skating ability is something I take a lot of pride in and that’s something I give credit to Jodi for in full.  Ever since I started working with her I saw huge strides in my development being able to build more speed as well as just being overall stronger on my skates. Training with Jodi and her team is something I’ve always enjoyed as they not only make it a fun experience but also challenging at the same time. Jodi is never afraid to let me know what I need to improve on and that’s what I love the most about her. I can always look forward to going out and skating with her and her team because not only do I know I’m going to have a good time but I also know that I’m getting better. I think skating is one of if not the biggest part of every hockey player's game and is exactly why Jodi’s program is exactly what every player needs if they truly want to excel their game.

Logan Massimi
GOHL Waterloo Siskins

When you think of power skating, most people see it as boring and something many players hate doing. But with Jodi, it’s the complete opposite. A few years ago, my dad took me to my first session with Jodi, and ever since that session, I’ve kept coming back. Her approach to teaching players specific skills and techniques is next level. What I love most about Jodi’s sessions is her consistency and focus on making sure we execute the right techniques instead of going 100% speed every time. She also turns a boring power skating session into a fun, positive environment where everyone gets along, has fun, and improves together.

Tyler Lee
GOHL Pelham Panthers

I first heard about Jodi through my team coach and other high-level players. I’ve been working with her consistently now for about 2 years. Her sessions are high tempo, detailed, and always structured with a purpose. I really like her coaching style because she’s very technical, demanding, and clear with her feedback, while still being supportive. Working with Jodi has significantly improved my edge control, balance, and overall skating efficiency. The technical training sessions translate directly to game situations and have helped me become more confident, quicker, and more effective in my overall game. If you are looking for a skating coach, Jodi is the one for you.

Tommy Kut
OJHL Aurora Tigers

Training with Jodi and her team over the past few years has made a huge difference in my game.  She focused on building my speed, balance, and edge control which made my stride stronger and I feel more confident on the ice.  Her program is exactly what every hockey player needs.

Ty Robar
OHL Kingston Frontenacs/OJHL Pickering Panthers

Our family has been with Jodi for the past 6 years and she is an extraordinary teacher and very skilled when it comes to skating along with teaching it to others. With being a defensemen, she’s developed my skating into one of my biggest strengths making my technique more efficient and effective. Her instruction made me explosive and added another gear of quickness to the way I play. Through her training you’ll be challenged with worthwhile creative edge work in the drills she does and where you are able to see your mistakes and habits through video. By becoming a stronger and more confident skater it helped me become an all around and more complete player. As a result of her training I was able to make the jump from AA to AAA as well as being invited to the USHL combine, several exclusive camps and now playing Junior A hockey.

Sebastian Gayagoy
OHJL

I have been working with Jodi for a few years now and it has completely changed my skating and brought it to the next level. Jodi is a great coach always bringing positivity into every session. Her dedication and passion has allowed me to succeed. I had never enjoyed power skating until working with jodi. I was making the jump from U18 to Junior and needed to be a faster and stronger skater to compete at the new level. Jodi was able to break down my stride and work on areas that needed improvement. I take a lot of pride in my skating and I give all the credit to Jodi and her team. Jodi has been a difference maker in my game while making her sessions fun and challenging so I could reach my full potential. I highly recommend Jodi and her team.

Nicole Spencer
OWHA Junior Stoney Creek Sabres

JF Power Elite classes helped transform me as a player. As a high end AA player, skating was the biggest weakness holding me back from reaching the next level. I started attending Jodi’s classes and noticed a difference almost immediately. Over the past two years working with Jodi, Amber, and the rest of the team, my speed, smoothness, power, explosiveness, and efficiency have drastically improved. These improvements helped me make the jump to AAA, and become a high end player in the league. I love the amount of feedback you get at sessions, both constructive and complimentary. Additionally, I love being able to see my form in videos the coaches take. If I ever feel like something is off, I can ask a coach to film my rep, and we can watch it back together. Attending the classes is a lot of fun, and something I look forward to every week. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Matthew Pittman
U18 AAA Don Mills Flyers/GTHL All-Star

I’ve been working with Jodi for over three years and have seen a huge improvement in my skating and speed.  I’m a far more efficient skater now with much less wasted movement. As a big defenseman, I’ve had multiple coaches compliment my skating, which speaks to Jodi’s coaching.  I highly recommend her.  "Thanks for everything!”

Davis Devonish
U18 AAA Toronto Titans/GTHL All-Star

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.

George Babatsikos
U16 AAA Niagara North Stars

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! 

Taro & Jessica Murata
Charlie Murata/OHL Flint Firebirds

Our boys, Lincoln and Declan, have both been attending power skating classes with Jodi for many, many years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaching is strict and serious when it needs to be, but always fun and engaging, which really brings out the best in the kids. Jodi and her team are incredibly dedicated, not only do they coach on the ice, but they also come out to hockey games to support the players and see how their skating skills are being applied in real game situations. Their ability to identify what can help improve speed, efficiency, and overall performance truly sets them apart. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our boys’ skating over the years and highly recommend this program.

Ryan & Michelle Edwards
Head Coach & Parent

Our son Logan has skated with Jodi for 6 years now and we are massive fans of her program! The care and attention to detail Jodi puts into every session is evident as well as the time she takes to build relationships with all her students. She brings such a positive attitude to the ice and is truly committed to seeing student improvement.  Her strong technical knowledge base and class format of drill progressions ensure students can be successful when she challenges her skaters with more difficult drills. She creates a fun and supportive training atmosphere while challenging her students. Jodi is patient and an excellent communicator who provides her students with helpful, detailed feedback. Jodi has been a tremendous asset to our son’s hockey development, and we would highly recommend her program.

Gio & Rebecca Massimi

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 Johnny'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.

Johnny & Meg Rogers

I first heard about Jodi through our team head coach, Jamie Edwards of the 2009 Don Mills Flyers. Tyler has been working with Jodi for almost three years, and the progress has been incredible. I love that Jodi works on edge work, speed bursts, and quick punch turns, and I also love that Tyler enjoys going and looks forward to getting better every day with Jodi’s coaching. Jodi connects well with her students, and they love her teaching techniques. She relates to the athletes and understands what they are going through. Tyler’s speed, agility, and edge work have improved so much over the years, and the credit goes to Jodi.”

Brian ‘Glocks’ McLaughlin
Defence Coach

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.

David Walker
Head Coach/Player Development 

Jodi and JF Power Elite are truly game changers. Her approach to power skating stands out not only for its technical excellence, but for how seamlessly it translates to real game performance.  As a coach, I’ve seen the impact Jodi has had on the teams I work with, improved efficiency, confidence, and pace of play. On a personal level, my son has been a long-time student, and her coaching completely transformed his skating from a weakness into one of his strongest and most standout attributes. Jodi is an exceptional coach who meets athletes where they are, builds confidence alongside skill, and consistently helps players reach their potential. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Tanya Witty
Head Coach & Parent

Our boys’ hockey development would be wholly incomplete without Jodi, who has been working with our family for the past four seasons. Jodi’s technique and expertise is precisely the edge that our hockey players require and they get to hone their craft in a judgment-free and fun training environment, which is typically our boys’ favourite skate. We are so fortunate to be in Jodi’s orbit and we cannot thank her enough for consistently going above and beyond for our gang. The edge-work, balance and power skating the kids have learned under Jodi’s direction are key ingredients in the AAA hockey environment, and no one does it better than Jodi!

J.B. & Serena Peikes
Parent

Jodi has coached our two sons and daughter for the past 5 years, and we cannot say enough positive things about JF Power Elite. Jodi brings an exceptional level of care and attention to detail to every session and is invested in each skater’s development. She takes the time to build strong relationships with her athletes which allows her to be more effective as a coach. Her technical knowledge is outstanding, and her structured drill progressions allow skaters to build confidence while being appropriately challenged.  She is patient, an excellent communicator, and consistently provides clear, detailed individual feedback that helps skaters understand how to improve.  JF Power Elite has been a tremendous asset to our children’s hockey development, and the improvements in their skating ability, confidence, and overall performance have been undeniable. They are all some of the strongest skaters on their respective teams which is a credit to the time they have all spent on the ice with Jodi. We are big fans of Jodi and her program and would highly recommend JF Power Elite to any family looking to take their skater to the next level.

Erin Young & Jason Farrell
Parent

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.

Bella Tonon
Parent

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!

Dennis Costanza
Parent

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.

Gerald & Erin Flach
Parent

Both of our boys play hockey and we hired Jodi to work with our boys 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.

Charity Lawrence 
Parent

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.

Louis Laskovski
Parent

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.

What I love most about Jodi’s sessions is her consistency and focus on making sure we execute the right techniques instead of going 100% speed every time. She also turns a boring power skating session into a fun, positive environment where everyone gets along, has fun, and improves together.

JF Power Elite classes helped transform me as a player. As a high end AA player, skating was the biggest weakness holding me back from reaching the next level. I started attending Jodi’s classes and noticed a difference almost immediately. Over the past two years working with Jodi, Amber, and the rest of the team, my speed, smoothness, power, explosiveness, and efficiency have drastically improved. These improvements helped me make the jump to AAA, and become a high end player in the league. I love the amount of feedback you get at sessions, both constructive and complimentary. Additionally, I love being able to see my form in videos the coaches take. If I ever feel like something is off, I can ask a coach to film my rep, and we can watch it back together.

She takes the time to build strong relationships with her athletes which allows her to be more effective as a coach. Her technical knowledge is outstanding, and her structured drill progressions allow skaters to build confidence while being appropriately challenged.  She is patient, an excellent communicator, and consistently provides clear, detailed individual feedback that helps skaters understand how to improve.  JF Power Elite has been a tremendous asset to our children’s hockey development, and the improvements in their skating ability, confidence, and overall performance have been undeniable. They are all some of the strongest skaters on their respective teams which is a credit to the time they have all spent on the ice with Jodi. We are big fans of Jodi and her program and would highly recommend JF Power Elite to any family looking to take their skater 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.

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!

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.

Both of our boys play hockey and we hired Jodi to work with our boys 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.

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.
