RJ Burns

Newburgh, NY

RJ grew up in Pearl River, NY. His passion for skating began with skating on his grandfathers pool, then later buzzing around local rinks. RJ moved to play AAA & Jr hockey, then playing D1 & D3 NCAA hockey with a short pro career in Sweden. After spending some time in tech sales, RJ started coaching with Topline Hockey in 2019. Skating has always been the strongest part of his game and the part he has found most intriguing and challenging. This is reflected in his coaching style and playing style.  RJ coaches with the philosophy that skating not something players should dread, but rather one of the most parts of their game and a skill they should try to master. He believes that if a player understands the fundamentals of drills they are more open to being coached and increases their eagerness to learn.
