The Basic Skills Hockey curriculum is designed to teach the fundamentals of hockey skating. In four levels, skaters will learn to move faster and be more agile on the ice. All elements will be taught without a stick or puck as proper skating techniques are the primary focus of the levels. Skaters will learn the necessary fundamentals to be successful in future game situations.
