Trisha Feil-Johnson- Owner/Head Instructor

Skating

Raised at the Rink from the age of three, I found my passion for skating and training at a young age and started my coaching career after accomplishing my own goals as a test and competitive figure skater.

I am the owner and head instructor of TJ Power Fit and offer 26 years of coaching experience with Figure Skating and Power Skating for Hockey Players . After 21 years of coaching Figure Skating from beginner level to Sask First Team Members, I moved on to focus completely on Hockey and the development of Hockey Players on and off the ice. I have worked with many teams and individuals privately from Initiation to Pro Level Players in the NHL.

I am very passionate about skating and working with others to meet their full potential. Sports are continually changing and in order to be competitive, players need to stay on top of their game and their skills. I take great pride in the programs we offer and the knowledge and experience that I have gained from my training and working with some of the greatest coaches in North America as an athlete and coach. We never stop learning!

Fitness Programs

Fitness and well rounded training programs seemed the perfect fit with my skating background and always something I enjoyed doing. 11 years and 8 formats later, I am a Certified/Trained Fitness Instructor and offer multiple fitness training programs at my studio to individuals in my group or athletic teams.

I am very fortunate to work with people and to help them live the healthiest life possible. I believe that being active at any age provides benefits to your health and well being.

Hendrik Deklerk

We are so fortunate to have Hendrik join our team for the Summer of 2023. Hendrik took some time after his busy studies this summer as a full time student at the U of S in the field of medicine to come out and coach in August.

Hendrik is a former student and one of two students I had in both Hockey and Figure Skating. He has a natural gift on the ice and still has us in awe when we watch him skate. His knowledge and tips on the “Edge Control” and smooth skills are an asset to our programs.

Hendrik completed his WHL season with the Swift Current Broncos before heading off to University to pursue his education in medicine. Hendrik still enjoys playing hockey with his Senior Team. We are very proud of our “Dr Deklerk to be” and look forward to more camps to come.

TJ Power Fit participant from the age of 3 and one very talented player! I remember the first season working with Noah and just in awe of a 3 year old having a stride!

Cash Arntsen

Another student from the beginning and one with fire in his soul! Hard working, determined and gritty player.

One of the first pictures I was able to get of Cash with a smile on his face and not the “Hockey Frown!” Cash loves working with kids when the shooting practice time is involved and enjoys sharing his tips and tricks. Hard to keep him away from that puck!

Cash will be heading into his 3rd year with the Kindersley Klippers.
