The Player's Edge

Philosophy

All too often, hockey players learn to play hockey long before they learn to skate. The purpose of our program is to teach sound skating technique to both the beginner as well as the more advanced player. The beginner will learn skating principles that form good habits from the start, while the more advanced player will improve and strengthen skating fundamentals. The idea is to so in-grain good skating habits, that they become second nature to the player. This achieved, the player is prepared to excel in other aspects, of the game. As a result, they will enjoy the game of hockey more and be stronger, more productive members of their teams.
