U11
Rep - Power Skating
Skating is one of the most important skills in hockey. By improving your skating, you will be better able to stay in the play, allowing players to get to the puck more and increasing your impact on the game. Maximizing your stride and having control over your edges will truly set you apart from everyone else on the ice. If you want to ensure you are entering the season at full flight, this session is a must!
This camp is for rep level players. This is NOT a camp for beginners or players who do not have a strong base in skating.
