POWER SKATING- BY 14,15,16

Who is Power Skating for?

• Players looking to better their skills in the off season

• MUST be able to perform forward AND backward crossovers

• MUST have strong backward balance (ie: 1-foot glide, C-cuts, backward crossovers recommended)

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SKILLS

• If your player needs to work on forward and backward C-cuts and/or crossovers: SIGN THEM UP FOR LEARN TO SKATE (Basic Skills 3-6 work on these skills!) Power Skating is NOT Learn to Skate for hockey! Power Skating incorporates skating skills they should already be proficient in and learning how to develop POWER and maintain that power while controlling a puck.

• If your player needs to work on SKATING and cannot perform the needed C-cuts and Crossovers, they may be asked to leave the session and NO REFUNDS will be given.

What to wear/bring:

• Full gear — whatever you would wear in a game situation

• ** Water **

• Protein bar for after class

What should be expected?

• Skills will be broken up over each session with focuses on SKILLS, DRILLS & POWER

• Each class will emphasize edge work with and without your hockey stick

• Develop full range of motion from proper blade usage

• Understand how upper body alignment can maximize transitional quickness

• Enhance performance through resistance training

• Create explosive power
