What type of instruction can I expect?
We are not Power Skating instructors... we teach Hockey Specific Skating. The days of "keep your back straight, long strides, stick on the ice, and pumping your arms forward and back" are long gone. We teach game situation skating that is specific, current, and relevant. Remember, roughly 50% of the time on the ice is spent gliding on two feet, while the other 50% is made up of short bursts or engaging in puck possession battles.
Are you ready for Skillz?
