Power Skating
High-energy training focused on building strong, efficient and confident skaters. Designed for hockey and ringette athletes who want to improve technique, power and speed.
What is Power Skating?
Power Skate is a fast-paced program that focuses on proper skating skills and strong technique. Skaters work on balance, control, agility, speed and endurance with guidance from an NCCP-certified coach.
This program is ideal for hockey and ringette players who want focused skating development outside regular team practices.
Who the Program is For

This is not a learn-to-skate program. Skaters must have completed a learn-to-skate program, PrePower, IP hockey or U6 before registering.
