ASSOCIATE COACHES 

Katie Best

My love of all things skating began as a young child attending East Coast Hockey League games with my family while my father had a seat in the penalty box as an Off Ice Official. Although playing hockey was not my calling (at the time!), the speed and power of skating captured my imagination.
I found a home in figure skating that will last forever.
I'm a US Figure Skating double gold medalist in Moves in the Field and Ice Dance and hold a PSA level 4 Hockey Certification.
Over the last 14 years, I've had the opportunity to coach figure skaters of various levels, as well as individuals and hockey teams from Mite to High School (A-AAA), College, and Juniors.
I make it my mission to share my love of skating with people of all ages and abilities; those new to the ice, those who are returning or wishing to improve their skills.
