Skating is the most important skill of ice hockey; if you can’t skate, you can’t play. The Quest Hockey Power Skating program is designed to teach, develop, and reinforce proper skating techniques to provide a strong foundation and self-confidence from which to grow as a hockey player.
The focus of our power skating clinics is to improve each player’s quickness, balance, speed, agility, and power through the use of a series of specifically designed drills and exercises.
8U, 10U, 12U
Players will learn proper hockey posture for improved balance and agility, learn proper fundamental skating technique, develop edge control and balance on their skates, learn how to cross-over in all directions both forward and backward, how to properly start and stop, how to transition from forward to backward and vice versa, and additional fundamental skating maneuvers.
14U, 16U, 18U
Players will develop a more explosive and lengthened stride, learn how to use their edges to generate speed, develop efficient start and stop techniques, learn how to effectively pivot from backward to forwards and forwards to backward, develop dynamic inside and outside edge control, and will be challenged to perform elite-level skating maneuvers.
