Powerskating & Skills Program
Program Overview
NEW for the 2025-2026 season we are excited to introduce our Powerskating & Skills Program to the TOP Hockey player pathway. Designed for 2014-2018 birth years, this program is a development-focused program that combines high-quality professional coaching with a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on Powerskating combined with specific hockey skills..
Each session generally begins with a fast-paced powerskating component, focusing on forward strides, crossovers, backward skating, proper posture, edges, and more. From there, players are split into small-groups and will rotate through skills stations on the ice, working combining their skating training with shooting, passing, game situations, puck races, and everything in between. Led by our TOP Academy Head Coach, this program is the ultimate way to improve your skating and technical abilities!
