Athlete Classes

Let’s skate!

This is a technical skating skills class.

Join Coach Elizabeth for a hockey power and edge class. Every class includes exercises to develop edge quality, control, power, and efficiency. Athletes should have a minimum of 1-2 years of hockey experience prior to joining this class.

  • Foundational skating and edge skill development will include forward and backward crossovers, transition turns, forward strides, and more.

  • Exercises focus on how to skate efficiently to create power, with an emphasis on form and quality.

  • We take the time to break down skills and repeat exercises from week to week to ensure proper development and mastery.

Testimonials

  • “My son’s skill and confidence grew under Elizabeth’s tutelage. Importantly, he has fun and understands how to improve. Elizabeth is an excellent teacher and makes getting better simple!”

    Mark M.

  • “My son has always been a good skater. Working with Elizabeth over the past few summers has turned him into a fluid skater who is very strong on his edges with quick feet. I don’t think he would have been a two-year captain of his Junior team and able to play ACHA D-1 college hockey without her help.”

  • “Elizabeth has been an incredible instructor for my son, Sawyer. Over the years, her dedication and expertise have transformed Sawyer's skating and edge work dramatically. Elizabeth's exceptional communication skills make her an invaluable asset to our hockey journey.”

    Bill A.

  • “Our kids enjoy working with Elizabeth because her sessions are fun and she works on edge skills not taught in hockey. She does a very nice job of showing how to complete difficult moves. More importantly, our kids have learned new techniques that they can work on during the warm-up skate at hockey practices or at outdoor rinks.”
