Hi, I’m Courtney King—founder of Courtney King Hockey, co-founder of the national champion SoCal Sea Otters, and a passionate skating development coach with over 20 years of experience on and off the ice.

I fell in love with hockey at 9 years old watching the LA Kings play the New York Rangers—Bernie Nicholls scored a hat trick, Kelly Hrudey posted a shutout, and that was it. I Was hooked.  I grew up playing SCAHA and elite girls’ hockey in Southern California, training extensively under power skating expert Tom Hughes. That early obsession with movement and mechanics eventually became my life’s work.

Over the past decade, I’ve trained players who’ve gone on to compete in the WHL, NAHL, USPHL, CCHL, and beyond. Whether working with youth players, junior athletes, or adults returning to the game, I bring the same energy: focused, technical, and invested. I specialize in small group and one-on-one sessions that break down edge control, stride mechanics, and balance into clean, powerful, efficient skating.  I have also developed 4 and 8 week programs that include off ice strength training, detailed on ice work, and individualized video analysis  

My background in dance gives me a different eye for alignment, reach, and follow-through. I’ve also started integrating mindfulness and sports psychology into my coaching—helping athletes access “the zone” when it matters most.

In 2024 and 2025, I helped lead the SoCal Sea Otters to back-to-back USA Hockey Women’s Adult National Championships. It’s a reminder that when you build from the ground up—with purpose, precision, and heart—you can win big.

If you’re ready to move better, skate faster, and play smarter—I’d love to work with you. Fill out the Waitlist form below.
