All attendees must enter the program with the ability to glide! Please do not register your skater unless they can already get around the ice with the basics of a glide.
The core focus of the program is to develop better skating and skills fundamentals through a progressive model that will challenge the kids to enhance their hockey abilities. Each one-hour ice time will be devoted to a mix of pure power skating, strength and conditioning drills, and a focus on implementing skating with a combination of the core hockey skills of passing, shooting, and stick handling. It is important to note that this program is purely skills and skating based with some competitive small area games mixed in as the season progresses.
At the U7, U9, & U11 levels we will spend a lot of time working on the basic skating stride and the focus is to create a longer and more powerful skating stride through a variety of drills that increase leg and core strength as well as developing balance and coordination. As the year progresses we will also seek to develop better edge control, agility, acceleration, and backwards skating technique. While power skating can sometimes be a bit dry for young skaters, we will mix in some fun games and keep the kids challenged and engaged while also making sure to work on different hockey skills during each session to keep it fresh! The goal of the whole program is to develop confidence in the kids and send them away from the 2025-26 season as stronger, faster, and more fundamentally sound players who love the game.
We accept a maximum of 24 skaters and the cost of the program is $595 plus GST ($624.75).
