Introductory Power Skating

Building the Foundation for Strong, Confident Skaters

Our Intro to Power Skating program at CCA is designed as the next step for skaters graduating from Learn to Skate or those new to power skating. This program bridges the gap between basic skating skills and more advanced power skating training, helping athletes build confidence, coordination, and control on the ice.

By removing gameplay and competition, we create a focused, supportive environment where skaters can develop proper technique and strong fundamentals at their own pace. Skaters will be introduced to the building blocks of power skating, preparing them for future progression into higher-level programs. In this class, we will cover levels Power 1 through Power 5 of our Badge Levels.

Registration is now open for current club members only. Public registration will open to the public on May 1 at 8:00 AM sharp.

Program Information

This program focuses on developing fundamental skating skills in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. It is ideal for skaters who are ready to move beyond basic instruction and begin learning the essential techniques used in hockey and advanced skating.

Skaters will work on:

  • Balance and Control: Developing stability, posture, and confidence while gliding, turning, and stopping.
  • Edge Awareness: Introducing inside and outside edges to improve control and comfort on the ice.
  • Basic Stride Development: Learning proper push mechanics and body positioning to build efficient movement.
  • Starts, Stops, and Turns: Building the foundation for quick starts, controlled stops, and simple directional changes.
  • Coordination and Flow: Helping skaters link movements together smoothly and skate with rhythm and confidence.
