She developed her skills and mentored under such notable skating professionals as internationally renowned:

  • Olympic figure skating coach Valentin Nikolayev (who also coached Viktor Petrenko and Oskana Baiul),

  • Canadian Figure Skating Association Double Gold Medalist and Canadian Pair Silver Medalist Jane Hottinger,

  • World Professional Pairs Champion and Olympic silver medalist Elena Betchke,

  • National competitor Candy Aylor.

 

Tammie bases her coaching philosophy around the idea that, in order to excel, skaters must master the use of their edges, learn how to position their bodies and maintain good balance, and practice, practice, practice. Most of all, Tammie believes it's necessary for skaters to love skating and to enjoy every minute on the ice. Without that enjoyment of the sport, skaters lose the drive and desire to work hard, which is crucial in order to achieve progressive levels of skill.

 

Tammie's additional contributions to the sport include a stint as Carolina Hurricanes' mischievous mascot, Stormy, and a film role in National Lampoon's Pucked, a film starring Jon Bon Jovi about an all-women's hockey league.
