Skate Thompson skaters took to the ice for Summer Training Session Aug. 20t–Aug. 31. Figure skaters, ringette players and hockey players had the opportunity to improve their skating skills, train their bodies and pushed their endurance abilities with running and jumping exercises and develop their positive attitudes to get ready for the upcoming season. The skating camp involved intense drills, group lessons and individual lessons on the ice daily with our experienced Skate Thompson coaches. Off-ice, the skaters stretched with expert yoga instructor Kylie Matechuk, learned about nutrition with dietitians from Melissa Pham of the Northern Regional Health Authority and dryland training with Katey Armstrong, which was amazing for all the STARSkate skaters. Great work, everyone!
The fall Session was Sept. 4 until Oct. 5. Programs offered in fall school were STARSkate and CANPowerSkate.
CANPowerSkate is 10 sessions of pre-season training ideal for hockey players and ringette players who want to get a head start on the season. This session focuses on developing technical skating skills, speed, agility and endurance.
