Client Reviews
Roberta (CoachUp client)
I booked a one-hour skating session for my son, and it was a fantastic experience! The coach was patient, engaging, and listened on what issues he was having on the ice. From the warm-up to skill drills, my son felt comfortable and motivated the entire time. Thanks Coach Leif!
Jeremy (CoachUp client)
Coach Leif was excellent! He worked with our son on basic hockey skating skills, including stops and crossovers. The sessions were very focused and productive. Our son looked like a different skater after just a few lessons. I highly recommend Leif!
Ronald Erick (CoachUp client)
Leif has excelled in guiding my son through areas often overlooked by his team coaches. I was impressed by the keen attention he provided and the way he thoroughly articulated the logic behind his guidance, making it easily understandable for my 10-year-old.
He introduces a unique perspective that promises to enhance the skills of any player looking to elevate their game.

Tim (CoachUp client)
Coach Leif H is very knowedgeable. I had a Great lesson and have scheduled a few more. Leif is teaching me how to gain strength as I recover from a work injury.
Steve (CoachUp client)
I think my son learned more in two hours than in two years of standard team play
Kathleen (CoachUp client)
Coach Leif is a very knowledgeable and experienced coach. He is professional and personable and my son has enjoyed training with him. Each week they build on the skills and mechanics worked on previously, identifying any areas that need to be shored up before moving on. Coach Leif’s focus and attention to the details of edge work and body positioning is already helping to take my son’s skating to the next level; which was our goal in working with a private coach. He is also positive and motivating. Highly recommend!
Kelly (CoachUp client)
Two of my three hockey players worked with Coach Leif to improve their skating technique and help them out for their upcoming tryouts. Even after one lesson we noticed a difference. Not only does he show them what to do but explains why, which really helps to reinforce the lesson. We play on working with him regularly to help give our kids a boost.
I. Lee (Testimonial)
Coach Leif had been my wonderful coach for over 9 years. He has a vast knowledge in technical skating skills that allow him to not only demonstrate maneuvers but explain the reason behind different adjustments he's asking of the skater. He is analytical in breaking down skating skills, making it easy for students to learn complex moves. He is very dedicated, experienced, and excellent as a skating coach. Most importantly, Coach Leif truly cares to invest in his skating students and can work with students at all levels. I am very grateful for all the years of skating that I had with him as a coach. The lessons went beyond the ice and helped me with how I approach challenges off ice as well.
