Adult Power Skating & Hockey Skills
From beginner to advanced, we have a variety of co-ed power skating and hockey skills classes to choose from. Our physical literacy approach will increase your confidence on the ice, and you will learn or improve all the basic skills to fully enjoy the game of hockey.
In these power skating and hockey skills classes we will focus on fundamental skating skills, from stopping to crossovers, and help you develop good habits to help you improve your hockey game. The higher levels will include strength, conditioning and stamina components, as well as more advanced skating skills. The hockey skills will teach individual and team puck skills, full ice drills, and fun, non-contact scrimmages.
