Edges and posture
Balance over the blade, and a forward stride that still holds together in the last five minutes of a shift.
Calgary · Flames Community Arenas
The science of speed.
The power to win.
Small-group powerskating for hockey players. Precision mechanics, explosive power and the athlete mindset — from a coach who has been doing this since 1999.
Why this coach
A playing career behind the teaching.
1999 Coaching powerskating, trained with Skate Canada and Hockey Canada
3× National champion with the University of Alberta Pandas
AAA Hockey Canada coach mentor, 2007–2010
10–16 Skaters per session, split by age and ability
What gets worked on
Three things that decide a shift.
Every camp comes back to the same mechanics, scaled to the age group in front of the coach.
Explosive starts
First-three-steps and crossover mechanics worked at game speed, not walked through at half pace.
Changing direction
Tight turns and transitions — changing direction without paying for it in speed.
