Start by narrowing down to your closest city above, then filter by what your player actually needs (power skating, goalie work, off-ice, etc). Reach out to two or three trainers and ask the same question, then compare answers.
Across Kootenays, private 1-on-1 sessions usually fall between $80 and $140 per hour. Small-group clinics run $40-$65 per player per session. Summer camps land between $250 and $450 per week. Trainers in larger cities trend higher than the average.
Most trainers will work with players from U7 (age 6) and up. If your player is still learning to skate, look for a Learn-to-skate-tagged trainer first; jumping into power skating before edges are reliable doesn't stick.
