CanPower Skate
CanPowerSkate is an action-packed, high energy instructional power
skating program geared to hockey and ringette skaters that
focuses on balance, power, agility, speed and endurance.
Skills, techniques and conditioning drills are taught in a
progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to
game situations. CanPowerSkate provides an alternative to
figure skating and is an excellent complement for those
athletes playing on hockey or ringette teams. Its unique
skill award program provides incentives and motivation for
skaters to continue to achieve.
CanPowerSkate is geared to skaters aged approximately six or older who
already have basic forward and backward skating skills
(they must be able to skate the length of the rink using
alternate strides) and are able to stop on command without
use of the boards. For safety reasons participants should
wear full hockey/ringette equipment that is CSA approved.
The coach to skater ratio is 1:10.
CanPowerSkate's Pre-Power
CanPowerSkate's Pre-Power is designed for young skaters, approximately
four to six years of age who can stand up on skates and
move forward (shuffle, walk or glide) who may not be ready
for CanPowerSkate Level 1. Pre-Power helps develop basic
skating abilities in a power skating-specific environment,
including balance skills, forward and backward skating,
stopping, turning and agility skills. The curriculum is
presented in three progressive levels complete with its
own awards to encourage participation and motivate
skaters. Pre-Power has been designed to run concurrently
with CanSkate sessions.
