Testimonials
“Erika has played an important role in helping me get to Boston University. She was instrumental in improving my footwork and stride, developing me into a quicker, faster, and powerful skater. Erika understands that skating is one of the most important parts to hockey and she is willing to do anything to help. Working with her is one of best decisions I have ever made. I would recommend her 10/10 times!” |

"Erika is someone who was instrumental in developing my skating from a young age. After moving from Florida to Boston, I had to find a new skating coach. Erika was that person and she made the transition easy. She was so engaging and upbeat. She made learning to skate extra fun, she even bribed me with Starbursts which was an extra incentive! Skating has become the most important part of hockey and Erika excels at providing all of the fundamentals that hockey players need. Without Erika I would not be anywhere near the skater that I am today." |

“Erika is an extraordinary teacher and she knows how to apply the fundamentals of skating to players of all ages and levels. Her program is an excellent way to improve and take your game to the next level."
- Kim Brandvold
Boston Bruins Skating & Skills Coach
"Erika’s ability to communicate very complex and meticulous movements to children and young adults is unmatched. Our children wouldn’t be where they are today without her. Because of Erika Hammar both of our kids are known as elite level skaters which is needed if you want to play at the highest level."
- Chris & Ashley Austin
Parents of Nationally ranked
U14 Elite Boston Junior Eagle - Gannon Austin and
U12 Major I East Coast Wizards Hadley Austin
"My son wanted to improve his skating for high school hockey so we sought Erika's help. During the first session, Erika immediately identified areas for improvement and designed detailed lesson plans to target weaknesses in his skating form. Erika's professional approach, clear communication, and positive demeanor have really helped make a difference!"
- Matt Lundy
Parent Austin Prep Varsity Player
"Erika, thank you for working with my son the past two years. His edge work has improved tremendously and he has become a respectable defenseman for the Shamrocks in the '06 black division. His pivoting and acceleration far exceeded our expectations, which has allowed him to play and compete at higher levels. We are excited about his future prospects and look forward to working with you to help him get there! Hockey has become extremely competitive, even at the high school level, The most important thing a developing player should focus on is skating and edge work. As the saying goes, "if you can skate you can't play!"
We are fortunate to have access to your skill development program in our back yard! I wish you were were available when I was growing up! Thank you and the best of luck with your new program!"
