Group 2: 2012, 2011, 2010 birth years (2009 welcome)
A division of the Hockey Hut, This Full ice Power Skating Camp is focused 100% on technique. Building proper technique through a meticulous progression of EVERY Skating skill will allow for a longer stride, more efficient stride and a more powerful stride. The edgework progression, along with agility and Take-off work will allow players to start quicker, corner better, carry speed into through and out of turns, all while building speed, efficiency and acceleration on the cross-over to escape those tight areas on the ice. Acceleration, off of a change of direction will be taught along with all backwards skating skills.
This camp is inspired by the great Paul Vincent Dynamic Skating Program that has been the foundation of all the skill development taught at the Hockey Hut for the past 26 years. This program breaks down every skating skill to its finest points. With 3 hours of skating every day and a total of 15 hours of ice time in the week we guarantee each player will improve their skating technique, efficiency, balance, agility and speed. We are excited to offer this camp for the very first time since 1998 and will only accept 40 players in each group. This camp will be a 5:1 student to teacher ratio to ensure individual attention to detail is achieved.
