PowerSkating is suitable for hockey players age 6-12 who have completed CanSkate Stage 3 or have equivalent skating skills. Players must be able to stop, turn, skate forwards, backwards and the perimeter of the ice without a stick.
This is not a learn to skate program
Our Power program is a 40-minute co-ed program taught by our NCCP Certified CanPowerSkate Professional Coaches. The CanPower program is endorsed by Hockey Canada as the National Powerskating Program. This action packed, high-energy, instructional power skating program focuses on power, balance, agility, speed and endurance. Skills, techniques and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format.
At minimum, players must be able to skate the perimeter of the ice without their stick, push with both feet, skate forwards and backwards, stop, balance and glide on one foot. Coaches will assess participants on first night and reserve the right to recommend a switch in program if required skills are not met.
Skaters who do not meet the program registration criteria are encouraged to register for PreCanSkate or CanSkate.

Helmet Policy
All Skate Canada member clubs and skating schools who offer a CanSkate or PowerSkating program must ensure all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice. Helmet face cages are highly recommended for PreCanSkate skaters. Skaters working on Stage 5 and below, as well as all skaters in the PowerSkate program, MUST wear CSA Group approved hockey helmets with the CSA mark.
Coaches are in charge of ensuring what a skater wears on the ice is safe. This applies to clothing, hair, skates, etc. No exceptions to this policy will be made at any time. Skaters who show up for classes without proper equipment will not be allowed on the ice.
Equipment
Full Equipment is recommended not required. Hockey sticks are optional.
