Diana has a list of clients ranging from the NHL, AHL, Collegiate, Junior and AAA levels. The St. Louis
Blues, Phoenix Coyotes and Hartford Whalers have hired Diana as
their power skating instructor for the summer youth camps. She has also been
contracted by college, high school and youth teams all over the US to bring her
expertise to their programs. Diana has instructed thousands of players since her
Schaefering Power Play Hockey Schools
began and is known for her “no nonsense” approach to teaching. She requires
players complete attention and 100% effort on every drill. This demanding
approach, along with the ability to make the ice time fun, has proven results
at all levels. Her DVD series has
taken her formula for setting ground rules, developing a hard work ethic and
building confidence from working with beginner level players to understanding
how to teach skills to players of any level.
As a USA Hockey Presenter and Instructor, Diana believes
that continuing to help educate coaches in identifying problems their players
may have in their skating skills and knowing how to correct them is important
to the growth of the hockey community. She was one of the founding board
members for the Chesterfield Falcon
Hockey Club in Chesterfield, MO and spent five years helping to develop and grow their hockey
program. Additionally, Diana is especially proud of being one of the original
coaches in breaking new ground with the Gateway
Locomotives Hockey Team in the Special
International Hockey League. The players and coaches competing in the first
international tournament are all honored to have their names listed on a plaque
in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Most importantly, Diana is proud of her wonderful family.
She and her husband John live in Wildwood, MO and they have three sons. Each of the boys have trained and worked for Schaefering Power Play Hockey. Blake lives in Oslo, Norway with his wife Yvonne and daughter Lumen and is a sports performance trainer. Drew lives in Brooklyn, NY and travels extensively as a performance artist, educator and trainer with Loreal International. Tyler lives in St. Louis, works as a pharmaceutical rep, and trains hockey players privately and in groups for Schaefering Power Play Hockey.
