“Scott & his team of talented NAIT OOKs players are so skilled. They bring just the right combination of challenge & support with skill development, to help newer & more seasoned players improve. They are all so encouraging & non-judgmental. That allows me to focus on my own skill development & not compare myself to others. Being so new to playing hockey, I really appreciate his consistently kind approach. I’m already signed up for his power skating sessions!”

Developing

Powerskating 2.0

For players who are comfortable skating at a 1.0 level — edges, crossovers, and transitions feel natural, not just practiced.

Our Powerskating 2.0 course is a 7-week program designed for players who have already built a solid foundation and are ready to level up. Expect similar skills to 1.0 — but done faster, with more intensity, and in combination with multiple skills in each drill. This level also introduces some puck work.

Session breakdown

Session 1 Forward Stride, C-Cuts, Quick Starts
Session 2 Tight Turns, Crossovers
Session 3 Stops & Starts
Session 4 Backward Skating, Pivots — Forward to Backward
Session 5 Pivots, Tight Turns
Session 6 Backward Crossovers, Backward Quick Starts
Session 7 Review — All Skills from Powerskating 2.0

By the end of this program you can skate with speed and confidence, chain stops and starts together, transition smoothly, and handle a puck while moving.

“The skills learned were very specific and helpful such as which parts of the blade to use with forwards and backwards skating. Scott and his player were very good and patient with newer skaters. I appreciated how they made corrections with individual skaters one on one.”

Advanced

Powerskating 3.0

For players whose 2.0-level skating feels automatic — and are ready to perform under fatigue and game-speed pressure.
