This is a specialized power skating program which focuses on specific forward skating and defensive / backward skating development skills.
- The program is designed to help players acquire more S.A.M. (stability, agility & mobility) as well as enhance quickness and overall speed in their forward and backward skating. Note: Most skating drills performed without and later with a puck.
This curriculum consists of 4 key components:
1: Tactical / Game Skating: (15%)
- Session Warm Ups
- Evasive Skating - emphasizing & teaching game skating deception
2: Forward Technical Skating: (40%)
- Extreme Edges
- Forward Striding
- Speed - technique and long distance skating
- Quickness - technique and short distance skating
- Lateral movement / crossovers
3: Backward Technical Skating: (35%)
- Extreme Edges
- Backward Striding / Speed
- Speed - technique and long distance skating
- Quickness- technique and short distance skating
- Transition Skating
- Skating Agility
- Skating Mobility
4: Resistance Training / Conditioning: (10%)
- Use of “parachutes” to develop strength and power in the player’s forward and backward striding.
- Besides a strong foundation of technical teaching, there’s a good conditioning component built into the power skating program as well.
Ideally suited for but not restricted to:
- U13 divisions 4 - AAA & U15 - U18 who are “SERIOUS” about improving their skating skills and getting to the next level of hockey.
- Players will be “pushed by the design of the program” to get out of their comfort levels to another level of skating.
- Being an older age or a larger size player - does not necessary equate to better skills!
- Players in the program will be divided into sub – groups based on ability & skill.
Note:
- The on ice curriculum may vary - depending on the overall group’s skill level. Therefore, some of the more basic drills may be repeated or more advanced drills incorporated / accelerated to maximize overall players’ development.
- Excellent player to instructor ratio - 5 to 1.
