Skaters should have successfully passed the Intro to Hockey Skating Fundamentals Program (Formerly Power Skate 1). 

This program is designed to develop the core skating skills essential for hockey players, including control, speed, and stride mechanics. Skaters will engage in repetitive drills focused on edge work to instill strong habits that translate into effective game performance.

Key areas of focus include:

• Edge Control: Repetition of edge drills to build solid skating foundations and correct positioning for maximum blade flow and power.
• Crossovers: Mastering the ability to execute smooth, efficient crossovers for quick direction changes.
• Backward Skating: Improving balance and control while skating backward, an essential skill for both defense and transition play.
• Stopping: Practicing explosive and controlled stops to transition seamlessly between offense and defense.
• Acceleration: Developing quick starts and burst speed for fast breakaways or sudden changes in pace.
• Tight Turns & Transitions: Refining tight turns and transition maneuvers for maintaining speed and control during rapid direction changes.

• Skaters will focus on precision and attention to detail, creating good habits that will serve them well in game situations. By continually building on these fundamentals, players will gain the confidence and technical skill needed to excel on the ice.
