Power Skating & PrePower

​

For current and future Ringuette & Hockey Players

We offer PowerSkaing & Pre-Power during our fall & spring sessions.

PowerSkate is an action-packed, high energy instructional power skating program geared to hockey and ringette skaters that focuses on balance, power, agility, speed and endurance. Skills, techniques and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to game situations. PowerSkate provides an alternative to figure skating and is an excellent complement for those athletes playing on hockey or ringette teams

PowerSkate is geared to skaters aged approximately eight years of age or older who already have basic forward and backward skating skills (they must be able to skate the length of the rink using alternate strides) and are able to stop on command without use of the boards. For safety reasons participants should wear full hockey/ringette equipment that is CSA approved. Powerskating runs three times per week and each session is 60 minutes long.

Pre-Power is designed for young skaters, approximately four to twelve years of age who can stand up on skates and move forward (shuffle, walk or glide). Pre-Power helps develop basic skating abilities in a power skating-specific environment, including balance skills, forward and backward skating, stopping, turning and agility skills. CSA Approved Helmets and skates are all that are required at this level, but full gear can be worn if desired.  Pre-Power runs two times per week and each session is 45 minutes long. For the fall session we will run two groups for Pre-Power.  Group 1 will be for new or future hockey and ringette players.  Group 2 will be for current players who can stop, turn and skate with some speed.
