About Us
Ice Skating | The gift that keeps on giving.
For 20+ years, Jill Mintz-Hodyl has been sharing the gift of learning to ice skate with people of all ages.
Jill's father taught her the sport and art of moving across the ice at a young age. These special memories forged her passion for teaching others how to ice skate.
Along with her team of professional coaches, Jill hopes that the lessons students learn on the ice will serve them well, on the ice and beyond.
Learning how to ice skate is truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Join us on the ice!
