Jacob Cryderman began his skating career in Huntsville, Ontario at the young age of 2. He relocated to Barrie, Ontario at the age of 16 to pursue his skating career and represent Ontario at the National Championships in Juvenile, Pre-Novice and Junior men. 

Jacob started coaching at the age of 19 while continuing to train. In 2012, he retired from his skating career and began developing his coaching profession at Doug Leigh’s Mariposa School of Skating, Barrie Skating Club and Oakville Skating Club under the direction and tutelage of Michelle Leigh. Jacob is a Provincial Competitive Coach with plans to begin his National Coaching Level.

He has taught skaters from around the globe and of all ages from CanSkate to Senior competitive level. He is a Sectional Level Skate Canada Technical Specialist. This role has further allowed him to thoroughly understand the development of elements within the sport and bring that knowledge to his daily practice. 

Coaching is Jacob’s passion. As a competitor and now as a coach, Jacob continues to bring his enthusiasm and passion to the rink each day. Jacob’s coaching philosophy is to create a well-balanced skater. He strives to support and push his students to be their very best selves both on and off the ice. He supports skaters to realize the importance of their physical, mental and emotional well being.
