Power 1
This program is geared to skaters who already have basic forward skating skills. It is designed to teach players the skating fundamentals needed to improve speed, quickness, and overall skating agility.
We teach fundamental techniques correctly from the start. This means that we develop our skills slowly at first and then increase speed as the skill is mastered.
Power 1 focuses on:
- Proper stride techniques forward and backward -Lengthening your stride -Edge control, stopping -Forward and backward crossovers
- Explosive skating moves, high velocity turns and pivots -Introduction to forward laterals -All of the above is done without the puck
