Skating is the most important skill for hockey players because it serves as the foundation for every aspect of the game, directly affecting performance in passing, shooting, checking, and puck control. Mastery of skating enables players to move efficiently, react quickly, and adapt to the dynamic pace of hockey—impacting everything from speed and agility to safety and hockey IQ. Skating proficiency allows a player to think ahead, play instinctively, and execute skills confidently under pressure, all of which contribute to a more impactful and complete game performance. Individualized skating coaching is necessary for meaningful improvements because it provides personalized feedback, tailored drills, and accelerated skill development that large group sessions cannot match. We offer one-on-one, or small group instruction that addresses players specific technical weaknesses, optimizes strengths, and allows for real-time adjustments and immediate, focused guidance on stride mechanics, edge control, and movement patterns with the use of video analysis throughout the session. We also offer skating analysis via our coaching app. Simply send us a video of your forward stride from the font, back and side and Matt will analyze it and provide a detailed report with his assessment, comments, corrections and exercises to perform on and off the ice to improve your skating.
