Danalee’s skating career began at 3 years old - first as a member of Newton FSC, then skating for LMSSC (formerly known as Surrey Precision) for 13 years, and now as club coach at Newton for over 15  years. For Danalee, it seems the perfect fit to be back with LMSSC as a coach. She has coached Synchro for over 10 years in the Pre-Novice, Novice and Adult Festival categories, from BC Coast Regional competitions all the way up to National competition. She is NCCP Level 3 Certified and continues to upgrade and keep up-to-date with the new changes that arise yearly. Although she enjoys all aspects of the sport, synchro is her truest passion and she look forward to many more years of great memories and achievements. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband Jeff of over 10 years and their two children, Paige and Zachary.

"The ice is my canvas; my skaters are my paint brushes! I love to paint a beautiful picture with my exquisite skaters."
