Technical Power Skating Instruction with Cindy Bower and Peggy Ward

At Cindy Bower and Peggy Ward Power Skating, it's our mission to teach our players how to move with the most efficiency on the ice but the least amount of effort.

Controlled balance is key. Concentration is placed on:

  • acceleration
  • body controlled edging (inside & outside)
  • stride development
  • pivoting
  • forward and backward crossovers
  • correcting our skaters' bad habits
  • drilling correct procedures repeatedly until they are second nature

    • Our Heartfelt Condolences go out to the families, loved ones and friends of Cameron Casorso, JJ Wright and Caden Fine as well as to the Southern Alberta Mustangs team.

    Subject: Jacks skating lessons
    "I forgot to mention this morning that Jack was signed this week for AAA Halton Hurricanes Minor Atom team for next season, after five tryout sessions. Once again there is not the slightest doubt in our minds that you have had a large role in his success in achieving his goals to play AAA hockey. We hope to be with you for a long time to come. Once again, thank you very much ..."
