Hey! My name is Maddie Lien, I have been on the ice since I was 6 years old and haven’t been off it since. I grew up skating in Fergus Falls where I continued until I graduated high school. Currently I am at NDSU studying Agricultural Education with minors in Crop and Weed Sciences and Extension Education. I started my coaching journey with Southern Valley in the season of 2023 where I have provided both private and group lessons. I love being the biggest supporter for my skaters on the ice as they achieve so many amazing things.

My name is Sarah Durytskyi, I grew up loving the sport of Figure Skating. I started skating at 3 years old but did not have lessons until I was between 9-11 years old. Although my skating journey began later than some, my determination and passion for the sport proved useful as I was able to pass many levels in a short amount of time. I would have enjoyed furthering my skating career but chose different options as my focus turned to college. My passion for skating has stayed with me and I hope to encourage this love for the sport in other skaters. Figure Skating taught me a lot about character, discipline, grace, and what it means to be a team player while also encouraging individuality. I want to inspire skaters of all ages that they can set goals and achieve them no matter when or where they started their skating journey. Hard work pays off, and no matter how early or late it takes one to begin, it’s all about the mindset and how hard they are willing to push themselves and work to achieve their goals.
