Olivia Hussey – Club Coach
I am excited to start my coaching career this year at the Norwich and District Skating Club! I began my own Figure Skating journey at the NDSC so returning as a coach feels like a full-circle moment. My passion for the sport was sparked at a young age and led to a successful career, culminating in provincial qualification. I continued to pursue my love for figure skating while attending Brock University as I was a member of the schools Varsity Figure Skating team. Now, as a CanSkate certified coach, I am eager to share my passion and experience with the next generation of skaters, helping them achieve their goals.

I’m excited to join the Norwich & District Skating Club for the 2024/2025 season and begin coaching, sharing my experience and helping to shape and develop our future generation of skaters.
