Why Have a Power Skating Camp?

Power Skating Camp Focus
The Power Skating Camp will focus on breaking down the skating stride(s) to their most basic points, and slowly building the mechanics of the skating stride together. When you build a skating stride step by step with a lot of reps, you create the fundamental habits that result in a great skater with powerful strides!
Development for Goalies
Goalies will have experienced goalie coaches to help them focus on the fundamentals of how goalies skate & move in a game. Goalies will have a dedicated end of the ice to work on their footwork, edgework, & movements.

Why Have a Skills Camp?
During the regular hockey season with limited practice time, most youth teams put an emphasis on team play and design the practices to focus on team concepts to prepare for game situations. This makes it very difficult to develop individual skillsets for each player. The Skills Camp has been developed so that players can improve their individual skills sets which will allow them to be a more effective player when put back into a team setting.
