Pre-PowerSkate

Pre-PowerSkate is a fast-paced, high-energy instructional skating program designed for hockey and ringette players looking to strengthen their skating skills. The program focuses on developing balance, power, control, agility, speed, and endurance through progressive drills and skill development.

Skaters will work on fundamental skating techniques with an emphasis on generating power, improving edge control, increasing speed, and developing the agility needed for hockey and ringette. Sessions are designed to challenge skaters while building strong, efficient skating techniques and confidence on the ice.

Minimum Skating Requirements

Skaters must be able to:

• Skate quickly forwards and backwards

• Stop forwards and backwards

• Glide forwards on one foot

• Turn from forwards to backwards

• Stop safely on command

Skaters should be able to perform these skills independently and maintain control while moving at speed.

Equipment Requirements

Skaters may wear full hockey or ringette equipment if they choose; however, full equipment is not required.
