Brianna Corkum
CanSkate & StarSkate Coach

Brianna Corkum has been part of the skating world for most of her life and brings both passion and experience to her role as a CanSkate and StarSkate Coach with the Saint John Skating Club. She first laced up her skates at the age of six with the Summerside Skating Club in Prince Edward Island, where she quickly developed a love for the sport. What started as a childhood activity soon grew into a lifelong passion, motivating her to continue skating well beyond her early years.

Over the course of her own skating journey, Brianna achieved several personal milestones, including successfully completing her Gold Skills test—an accomplishment she is especially proud of. Her dedication to the sport naturally led her into coaching, where she found a new way to stay connected to the ice while inspiring the next generation of skaters.

Brianna joined the Saint John Skating Club in 2015 after moving to the city to attend university, and she has been an important member of the coaching team ever since. She is a Certified CanSkate Coach, Certified Regional Coach, and Certified PowerSkate Coach, in addition to holding First Aid certification. These qualifications, combined with her years of experience, allow her to support skaters at many different stages of their development.

As a coach, Brianna finds the greatest joy in watching her skaters grow and improve each time they step on the ice. She loves celebrating both the small victories and the big breakthroughs, knowing how much effort and dedication go into every accomplishment. Through coaching, she has learned that every skater has their own unique way of learning and progressing, and she embraces the challenge of helping each one reach their potential at their own pace.

Brianna’s dedication, patience, and genuine love for skating shine through in her work on the ice. Whether teaching the fundamentals in CanSkate or guiding more advanced skaters in StarSkate, she is committed to fostering an encouraging environment where skaters feel motivated, supported, and excited to continue their journey in the sport.
