“They’re just top notch skating coaches”
Longtime friend and student of Karn Skating Dynamics, Jack Hillen has been skating with us a long while. Read what he had to say about us recently:
But it isn’t an accident that Hillen’s skating is one of his strong suits out on the ice. He’s been practicing and fine tuning his skills with the same two coaches for the past 15 years. “They’re just top notch skating coaches,” Hillen said about his skating coaches Barry and Jodi Karn. “They basically formed my stride. It’s not something that just happened by accident. I put a lot of work into it ever since I started skating.”

Parrish looks in exceptional shape and seems to be skating better than ever after working this summer with powerskating extraordinaire Barry Karn, who runs the local Karn Skating Dynamics and works with the Calgary Flames.

“I’ve never felt better on the ice. It’s amazing. I’ve known him for years and finally got stubborn enough to realize I probably need a little help with my skating. I can already feel the difference.”
