What is CanPowerSkate ?
CanPowerSkate is the only nationally regulated power skating program in Canada.
CanPowerSkate is an action-packed, high energy instructional power skating program geared to hockey and ringuette 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. CanPowerSkate has a unique skill award program that provides incentives and motivation for players and is an excellent complement to Hockey practices.
Our Almonte program will also introduce our registered players to speed & power training Parachutes, speed ladder training for developing quick feet, edge control and fast power starts and other innovative training aids and games that will drive your son or daughter to perform and achieve in a fun environment.
How does CanPowerSkate work?
The CanPowerSkate program consists of skills divided into six levels, arranged in progressions gradually increasing in complexity. Levels 1 to 3 focus on the fundamentals of skating, Levels 4 to 6 place additional focus on the acquisition of efficient technique, speed, agility, technical aspects of stride and acceleration and skating with the puck. Skaters are evaluated on skill level and are timed as they perform a test involving skills in a course-like pattern. The skater receives a mark combining his/her skill performance plus test time. This determines whether the skater receives a Bronze, Silver or Gold award bar for that Level.
Program Cost: $150.00 (includes a $33.00 Skate Canada yearly membership and Insurance fee).The CanPowerSkate Program is eligible under the Child Fitness Tax Credit and a receipt will be available upon request to parents or guardians of registered players.
