Marijane and Louis Stong have been a major force in the building of champions in the world of figure skating. Their reputations as outstanding skating coaches have attracted many skaters from around the world to learn from these masters of the art.

Collectively, they have produced eleven Canadian National Champions as well as World and Olympic Champions and Medalists.

They have very impressively coached at the World Championships from 1969 to 1995 and at the Winter Olympics from 1976 to 1998.

Some of their most recent skaters include Kurt Browning, Joseé Chouinard, Karen Preston, Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini, and Tracy Wilson and Robert McCall.

Marijane has been awarded the 3M Coaching Excellence Award for Continued Success and was named Female Coach of the Year in 1992. She continues to coach and offers her talent with costume design, music selection and choreography.

Louis is currently Program director at the ARC Skating Academy and is also employed by the Canadian Figure Skating Association as its Director of Skating Development.
