Meet the Instructor
I'm Erik Hjorleifson, your Pool Lab instructor, and I’m excited to help elevate your game!
With 35 years of experience and over 50,000 hours spent honing my skills, I’ve competed at a high level throughout my career. My achievements include multiple Canadian championships, over 200 regional tour wins, and several top-10 finishes in major tournaments.
Though I still enjoy competing, my focus has shifted to teaching. Billiards is a game of subtlety and precision, and I believe in never overlooking the finer details. My goal is to help you appreciate these nuances and guide you as you improve and progress on your own journey.
Looking forward to working with you!
