Gennady Kaskov | Gateway Skating Club is proud to announce the addition of Gennady Kazkov to our professional coaching team. Coach Gennady is one of Canada's first technical specialists (an expert who identifies a skater's elements in competition), a skating judge and a former coach-consultant for Skate Canada. Coach Gennady has joined Gateway Skating Club as a freelance coach. Currently, Mr. Gennady organizes and assists Alexei Mishin to facilitate Mishin Figure Skating Clinics across the globe. Gateway had the honour of hosting Mr. Mishin and his coaching team including Mr. Kaskov at a skating seminar last June and we are thrilled to have him join our club! We look forward to learning from this top figure skating specialist and coach. Welcome, Coach Gennady! |
