Power Skating

What is Power Skating?

Power skating is an action-packed, high energy instructional program geared to hockey and ringette skaters that focuses on balance, power, agility, speed, and endurance. Skills, techniques, and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to game situations.

Power skating provides an alternative to figure skating and is an excellent complement for those athletes playing on hockey or ringette teams.

When your child registers for the Power skating program at the Kimberley Skating Club, you also become a member of Skate Canada, the national sport governing body for figure skating in Canada.

Eligibility Requirements:
Power skating is taught in a group environment; therefore, all participants should have basic skating ability and should be able to manage the following skills:

• Be able to get up on their own
• Be able to skate forward the length of the ice using alternate strides.
• Be able to skate backward the width of the ice using alternate strides
• Be able to stop without the use of the boards.

Skaters who cannot perform these skills on their own may be asked to join our CanSkate program, as this will be a better fit for your skater.

Skaters should be equipped with the following:

• Full hockey gear
• Hockey Skates
• CSA approved Helmet
• Hockey Stick
