What Players Will Work On

Skatemill Training

Players begin with a full individual skating analysis, followed by a custom plan built to strengthen stride mechanics focusing on:

• Glide foot positioning

• Push-off mechanics

• Ankle extension

• Knee bend and posture

• Arm movement patterns

• Head position

• Overall skating efficiency

Each session is tailored to build strong, repeatable habits.

On-Ice Instruction

On the ice, players apply what they’ve learned while developing real-game skating habits:

• Striding and acceleration

• Edge control and stability

• Turning radius and transitions

• Puck control while maintaining strong skating mechanics

Coaches assess and adjust technique in real time to ensure steady, measurable improvement.
