NOTE: Many players benefit from our Learn to Skate program, which includes crossovers and beginning transitions.



⚠️ IMPORTANT SKILLS NOTICE (Please Read)

Power Skating is NOT Learn to Skate for Hockey.

If your player needs to work on:

• Forward or backward C-cuts
• Crossovers

👉 They should be enrolled in Learn to Skate (Basic Skills 3–6), where these skills are taught and developed.

Power Skating assumes athletes are already proficient in basic skating mechanics and focuses on:

• Developing POWER
• Maintaining power while controlling a puck

🚨 If a player cannot perform the required skating skills, they may be asked to leave the session.

👉 NO REFUNDS will be given.
