Mastering Skating Fundamentals for Hockey Excellence

At Little Strides Power Skating, we understand the critical role that skating fundamentals play in the world of hockey. Skating is the foundation upon which all other skills are built. Our power skating lessons are designed to help children of all ages and skill levels unlock their full potential on the ice. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to take their game to the next level, our programs are tailored to meet their unique needs. In this guide, we’ll outline the essential services we provide and the significance of mastering skating fundamentals for hockey players.

Our Power Skating Services

1. Skating Technique: Our experienced coaches are committed to improving each skater’s technique. We focus on areas such as balance, stride efficiency, power generation, and agility to help players gain a competitive edge.

2. Speed Development: Speed is a game-changer in hockey. We work on increasing a player’s acceleration and top-end speed, giving them the ability to outpace opponents and create scoring opportunities.

3. Edge Control: Strong edge control is vital in hockey. Our drills and exercises help players master their edges, enabling precise turns and quick changes in direction.

4. Balance and Stability: Skating requires impeccable balance. We teach young athletes to maintain balance under various conditions, enhancing their ability to protect the puck and stay on their feet during contact.

5. Endurance and Stamina: Hockey players need to maintain a high level of energy throughout a game. Our training enhances stamina, ensuring players can perform at their best during the third period.

6. Confidence Building: Skating improvement leads to increased confidence on the ice. We provide a supportive environment where players can take risks and develop their skills without fear of failure.

      Parent's Safety Checklist

      Before each lesson skaters (with the help of parents) should:

      1. Be at the gate on time so that the instructor can lead each child one by one to the ice (keep in mind we only have 30-minute sessions).
      2. Check that skates are sharp and laced up properly.
      3. Be wearing gloves, long pants or tights, and a light sweater or jacket.
      4. Ensure that their helmet is certified.
      5. Parent must wear skates on ice.
      Little Lemon's Safety Checklist

      Throughout every lesson, our coaches do their best to ensure your little skater’s safety. Our instructors are experienced at encouraging children of varying ages to practice safe skating habits and preventing collisions during lessons. Some of the precautions Little Lemons’ coaches take to protect our skaters are:

       

      1. Name tags are given out during the first session and are skaters are required to wear them to identify the child.
      2. On the ice, our instructors explain the importance of being cautious with blades and toe picks to avoid the danger of running over fingers.
      3. Constant reminders will be given during lessons to form safe habits in the skaters when practicing unsafe behaviour.
