About Us

What's New?

I’m excited to announce that Emma Zoldy will be joining the Cheema coaching staff this summer as the Assistant Kayak Discipline Coach starting April 8th. 

Emma started paddling at the Cobourg Dragon Boat and Canoe Club and was part of the club’s first cohort of competitive sprint canoe/kayak athletes. After a few years of racing with the Ontario Team, she decided to make the move to Richmond Hill Canoe Club to join their High-Performance program.  

Emma coached youth and adult programs part-time while competing as an athlete, but in 2022, she decided to commit to coaching full-time. Most recently, Emma held the position of Assistant Head Coach at Carleton Place Canoe Club where she worked closely with both canoe and kayak athletes in the High-Performance program.  

Emma is a NCCP certified coach and a Registered Kinesiologist currently pursuing certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Emma is passionate about taking a holistic, athlete-centered approach to coaching by empowering athletes with skills and knowledge to improve their own performance.  

Emma tells me she is thrilled to begin this exciting new chapter at Cheema. We are equally thrilled and are looking forward to her contributing to our elite kayak programs and mentoring our summer coaches.  Her positivity and enthusiasm are hallmarks of her coaching style and a great fit for the Cheema Culture.  

Please welcome Emma to our community! 

Scott Logan, Cheema Executive Director
