Internationally renowned power skating coach Laura Stamm has been coaching hockey players for 30 years and is considered the pioneer of modern power skating. The first woman ever to coach a major league professional hockey player, Stamm has shown the hockey world how important skating technique is to a player's success. She has worked with college and youth hockey players, U.S. Olympic team members, and professional players representing many National Hockey League (NHL) teams. Stamm has taught thousands of amateur and pro players--including many NHL stars--how to increase their speed, ability, and efficiency on the ice. Stamm has taught the Los Angeles Kings, the New York Rangers, the New York Islanders, and the New Jersey Devils. Prestigious teams around the world have employed her Power Skating System. A champion athlete in ice dancing and tennis, Stamm studied physiology at Cornell University and taught high school biology and physics. In 1971 she became a power skating coach at a summer hockey school directed by then-NHL stars Rod Gilbert and Brad Park. She now conducts power skating clinics throughout the United States and Canada for players of all ages and abilities. She is the author of Laura Stamm's Power Skating, two other books, dozens of articles, and two other instructional videos on power skating; she is also a noted speaker and TV personality. Stamm's other interests include dancing, backpacking, kayaking, photography, and music. She lives in Anchorage, Alaska.
