HOCKEY / RINGETTE
SKATING SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Our program is an action packed, high energy instructional skating skills development program geared to hockey and ringette skaters 7 years and up (Hockey Division U8 and up), that focuses on SKATING SKILLS: balance, power, agility, speed, and endurance. Skills, technique, and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to game situations. This program provides an alternative to figure skating, and is an excellent complement for those athletes playing on hockey or ringette teams.
