Traci Veltre Milner
Coach & Skating Parent

Finally, I have a place to share my 30 years of experience!

As a senior-level coach and skating parent, I created Edge Up Ice to empower parents of figure skaters with tools that maximize learning efficiency, add value to their investment, and help minimize unnecessary costs. I provide parents with the resources they need to support their athletes to excel quickly, confidently and more efficiently-both on and off the ice.

At EdgeUp Ice, I take pride in ensuring parents are fully equipped to navigate the sport of figure skating alongside their coaching team, giving their skaters the edge to shine in all aspects of their journey.

Throughout my decades of coaching, I always wished for a simpler way to keep parents better informed and involved. But while coaching 40+ students multiple lessons each week, I simply struggled to find the time.

Edge Up Ice is the answer to that long- time dream. A dedicated space where I can provide the guidance, recources, and answers that parents need to feel informed and empowered as part of their skater’s success.

I invite you to explore the site, take advantage of the free recources and reach out anytime- I’m here to help you, help your skater make the most of every step on the journey we call figure Skating.
