About Our High Intensity/Conditioning Clinics

We all have another level of intensity, ability and effort in us. The Next Level Power Skating High Intensity/Conditioning Clinics will help you find it.

Designed for teens and adults, Next Level Power Skating High Intensity clinics should be described as more of an on-ice workout than a practice. This program provides an intensely challenging way to develop the skating ability of intermediate-advanced skaters while pushing the physical limits of both players and referees alike.

Development Through Variety

Blending technical instruction with high intensity interval-based workout structure, each clinic is unique, providing new technical challenges that build a wide variety of skating skills as the clinic series moves along.

Confidence Through Repetition

By offering specific drills as part of a circuit, each athlete is provided repeated opportunities to develop the muscle memory that turns focused technique into unconscious habit.

What Should I Expect?

Expect to work. Next Level Power Skating is likely going to be unlike anything you've ever done on the ice before. What you get out of this program entirely depends on what you put into it...but I will push you to your physical limits.
Expect to get out of your current skating comfort zone. Many drills are going to include techniques and movements that are designed to fine tune and challenge every aspect of your stride.
Expect to see both players and referees on the ice. My program is open to both sides of the hockey world and for anyone who wants to improve their skating.
Rarely are pucks going to be used. The focus of these clinics is to build your skating technique to further develop power, agility and endurance. Pucks are phased in for players who have first mastered various drills without one.

Who is it For?

Clinics are designed to push you to your next level. Whether you are an average skater looking to get better, or a good skater looking to become great, this program will give you the tools to get there.
At these clinics, you are your own competition. In pushing yourself to do more repetitions each circuit, you will see that your power and efficiency increases each time you come to work.
While exceptions are made, the Next Level Power Skating Program was designed for teens and adults who will most benefit from an interval style workout.
Current NLPS athletes include A, AA, AAA and area high school players, as well as referees from the local, Junior A and minor-professional ranks.
NLPS is a physically intense on-ice training program that does require a certain level of proficiency to be effective. It is NOT a program for beginner skaters.
