Hello! My name is Katie Hunter and I am currently finishing my degree in honours medical science at Brock University. This is currently my 1st year coaching, and I look forward to sharing my passion for skating as I make the transition from competitor to coach! I began skating at the age of 4 and skated in the competitive stream for 9 years. During my first 2 years at university, I competed on the Brock varsity team where we earned Brock’s first OUA medals. Over my years of skating, I have completed my gold tests in free skate, dance, skills and interpretive. When I’m not on the ice, you can find me working in the lab as a research assistant.

Coaching Philosophy - Having spent over 30 years in the classroom and over 35 years as a skating professional, my coaching philosophy is that everyone (no matter what age, skill level, physical challenge) can learn and improve…it is all about progress NOT perfection. When skating is fun, learning evolves naturally. I want to encourage and inspire all skaters to make skating a life-long activity.
