This course is recommended to anyone currently playing Div 1 or lower.

The focus is on applying offensive and defensive tactics for individuals and for small groups in the fast-paced scenarios of an ice hockey game. This course is recommended for anyone currently playing C Grade or higher. 

Maximize your performance and improve your technique. Focusing on both the effectiveness and efficiency of your skating, Power & Edges is for those looking to take their game to the next level. Ice hockey is a fast-paced game, requiring both quick bursts of energy and endurance to perform in 3x 20 minute periods. Improving your skating technique for each stroke, learning to use your edges correctly and conditioning your muscles for the work required will greatly improve your game.
