POWER SKATING and DEVELOPMENT (Levels 1 & 2)
Power skate level 1 (ages 6+) Starting from the basics we will move into more intense FPS drills to prepare them for power skate level 2. Forward/backward skating, balance drills, edge work, and crossovers aim to get skaters more comfortable on their skates and aware of what they can do with their feet. Sessions will be 1 hour PS1- all skaters must be skating forwards, getting up on their own, and can understand directions given by the instructors. NOTE: if a skater walks onto the ice and cannot skate forward, I will ask the parents to remove the skater and refund the money. Please understand I cannot designate 1 instructor to a single skater, these are not private sessions.
Power skate level 2 Ages 7+
This is the next step up from level 1 power skate. These will be a little faster sessions with a few different drills with and without pucks. Edge work, pivots, transitioning, quick feet, acceleration, and quick direction changes are all worked on in every session. Skaters should be able to skate both forwards and backward, crossovers, along with stops and starts with little trouble. Small groups will allow for quicker lines and more rotations for each skater. Sessions will be 1 hour
DEFENCE
All levels welcome. Backwards, backwards, backwards! Sessions will focus on the defensive skating part of hockey for everyone. Both forwards and defensive players will benefit from these sessions. Skating backwards, transitioning, pivots, edge work, starts/stops with and without pucks, 50% of these sessions will be done skating backwards. Sessions will be 1 hour.
HIGH INTENSITY (Level 1,2 & Elite) AAA/AA/A
This will be a very fast skating environment and is recommended for a more experienced skater. These sessions will involve both forward/backward skating, pivoting, transitioning, edgework, starts/stops, and quick feet with and without pucks. All of these will be set up in a more practice-like atmosphere with drills and stations again at a much faster pace. Both forward/defense sessions will be offered at high-intensity levels. Sessions will be 1 hour.
OFF ICE TRAINING
My off-ice training will focus on a variety of hockey skills from shooting, stick handling, hand/eye coordination to cardio, endurance, acceleration, and quick feet. These can all be discussed, and a program can be set up to what the skater wants or what the skater thinks they need to work on or we can run a little of everything. All sessions will be 1 hour and a max of 4 skaters but no less than 2 skaters will be in attendance.
