Figure Skating Programs

Pre-Power Skating is a Skate Canada program designed to introduce young skaters to the fundamental skating skills needed for hockey and other ice sports. It bridges the gap between CanSkate and more specialized power-skating programs, helping skaters develop confidence, control, agility, balance, and efficient skating technique.

Rather than focusing primarily on hockey skills such as shooting or passing, Pre-Power focuses on how to skate well. Skaters learn and practice the fundamental movements that allow them to become faster, more controlled, and more confident on the ice.

Skaters must be able to:

• Stand up independently on the ice
• Move forward independently by shuffling, walking, or gliding
