Yesterday my mom lost her battle with Cancer. My parents met when they were attending a public skate, so it’s no surprise that she would pass her love of skating onto me. My mom has always been my most fierce supporter, our family’s rock and will be dearly missed❤️

“Edge Chaos” is one of my favorite edge warm-ups! It forces players to keep their head up and find open ice. Sculling, Inside Edge, Outside Edge, Eagles, Shuffle Punch…all with pucks and in a small space for approx 40 sec each. Nice job fellas!

The Jr Crew are working hard to avoid crossing their feet after pivots and starts/stops. I’m not opposed to crossing… in certain situations crossing over is a great way to generate speed and power, but it’s nice to have the footwork to be able to do both. Nice job fellas!

A player will cross their feet hundreds of times in a game! When the foot crosses in a wide motion or if the heel leads, the back leg will slip straight back and the player will miss out on generating power from the push. It takes deliberate practice to correct, but so important!
