OFSC Coaches

We are proud to introduce the coaches at OFSC. Coaches are a major factor in the development of many life skills such as discipline, a sense of self worth and accomplishment and respect for goals and aspirations of others. All of our coaches are certified by the National Coaching Certification Program.

Coach Kat brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and technical expertise to her role as Head Coach.

Courtney Pratt

Hello! My name is Courtney Pratt. I started out my skating career with the Olds Figure Skating Club when I was 3 years old. I skated with the Olds club for 14 years during which time I achieved Triple Gold status in Skating Skills, Dance and Artistic as well as Jr. Silver Freeskate. Over the last 13 years I have been actively competing in Synchronized Skating on an Adult 1 team out of Calgary with whom I have won many Regional titles and 2 National bronze medals. I have previously coached Canskate for Olds, but took a many year hiatus to receive my Bachelors of Nursing Degree and pursue a career in nursing. Currently, I have the opportunity to coach Canskate, CanPlus and Starskate programs. I am really looking forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of skating with my students. I am truly excited for the fun skating season ahead of us.

Kolby Thompson

Coach Kolby is thrilled to be back with the Olds Figure Skating Club after a year away! Her skating journey began right here in Olds at the age of four, and skating has been a lifelong passion ever since. Throughout her journey, she has been a member of three different clubs and enjoyed two seasons of synchronized skating at both the Pre-Novice and Adult 1 levels.

Kolby currently coaches PreCanSkate and CanSkate and loves sharing her passion and knowledge of skating with young skaters. She strives to create a positive and encouraging environment where skaters can build confidence, work toward their goals, and most importantly, enjoy their time on the ice. She is also continuing to develop her coaching skills through on-ice training and mentorship as she works toward her Regional coach certification, with the goal of expanding into STARSkate coaching in the future.

Off the ice, Kolby works as an Early Childhood Educator, a role that complements her passion for supporting children as they learn and grow. She looks forward to continuing to develop both professionally and as a coach, and is excited to be back at the rink for another great season with the Olds Figure Skating Club!

Janae Daley

My name is Janae Daley; I am a proud wife and mother to three young children! Skating has been a passion of mine since I first stepped onto the ice at the age of three. I spent many years taking lessons with the Olds Figure Skating Club before continuing my skating journey as an adult, on the Solstice Open Synchro Team in Calgary.

Throughout my skating career, I have obtained qualifications towards becoming a Certified Regional Coach and a trained CanSkate coach. I have achieved Triple Gold status in Dance, Skills, and Artistic as well as completed my Senior Silver Freeskate.

Beyond skating, I have always loved working with young children. After taking a few years away from the ice to get married, start a family, and pursue my educational goals, I am excited to return to the rink and share my love of skating with the next generation! My goal is to help children develop confidence and a love for skating, while learning in a fun, motivating, and safe environment. I look forward to creating positive experiences on the ice and watching young skaters grow!
