Skating is a skill required by every position in hockey. Speed, acceleration, agility and power, defense and goaltenders alike. Without strong fundamental skating skills, players cannot perform to their full ability.  As players get older, they should continue to develop and refine their skating skills.  This clinic will force players to perform eight specialized skating skills  - agility and balance, edge control and coordination, forward skating, backward skating, turning, crossovers, transition, and quick feet - with each session progressing in difficulty from the previous session. 

​

Our Power Skating Program will be instructed by Synergy’s Skating Coach Nina Hrycewich. Nina is a professional Power Skating instructor and comes with years of experience.  Nina has been an instructor with Kamloops Minor Hockey, Kamloops Blazers, City of Kamloops Learn to Skate and Can-Skate programs, Valleyview Secondary School Hockey Canada Skills Academy, and much more.

​

This Power Skating clinic will be taught on our synthetic ice rink and will challenge players while building strength at the same time. These sessions will be detailed and technical with lots of feedback and instruction from the coach.

Kids are required to skate the length of the ice in order to attend this program
