2027 Power Skating
— Younger
Skating shows up in every shift
Skating is the one thing that shows up in every shift. It’s also the first thing that breaks down when a game speeds up.
Eight weeks on edges, stride mechanics, and the habits that hold when a player is tired and someone is on them.
Straight to the ice
Sixty minutes on the sheet, twice a week. This group gets on the ice and works.
It has to transfer
Clean edges in a drill mean nothing if they disappear the moment a puck is on your stick.
Every mechanic trained here gets executed with the puck, in situations pulled from real games — tight turns with pressure closing, transitions into a live read, acceleration with somewhere to go. The goal isn’t a prettier stride. It’s skating that holds up on game night.
One day or two
