or TEAM Lessons
When working with Laura you and your teammates will build (or rebuild) a sound skating foundation from which everything else will be built on. Whether that is learning your first strides to achieving a 13 second lap, learning your first mohawk to achieving deceptive or evasive moves more impressive than Quinn Hughes.Blade Mastery For Hockey Players, means that at anytime during a game you can manipulate your blade and body to go where you want and get to where you want to go next without even thinking about it. Your body and blades are already in position. You can evade and deceive without thinking about it. Ultimately you get to a point in your skating career where we are coming up with new moves. Not just copying Bobby Orr, Connor McDavid, Cale Makar, or Quinn Hughes, we’re going a step beyond.

More about who this CLASS is for:
Intermediate-to-Elite Skater Intended Workshop:
This workshop is for current competitive skaters, ‘retired’ skaters, and coach/skaters that would enjoy nerding-out on the history of skating and being challenged (and humbled!) by centuries-old skating designs. There are no age restrictions as long as the skater is serious about skating, and having fun (and not disruptive to others learning). This workshop will likely trend towards adults but we would love enthusiastic teens who love edges (or understand the importance of getting better at them!) and would enjoy learning about the roots of the sport through on-ice group learning.
Minimum levels to enjoy the workshop:
Passed Standard Pre-Silver, Silver (Juvenile/Intermediate MIF), Adult Gold, & above or has both forwards and backwards one foot (or two-foot): three turns, brackets, & power pulls. The hockey equivalent although hard to judge would be level AA (Hockey skaters: shoot us an email for questions or a video review of your skating if you don’t know the turns listed above!).
To design and skate advanced patterns/sequences:
Figure Skaters: Gold test skaters and those with Counters, Rockers, and Choctaw’s
Hockey: AAA, Junior, D1, NHL, PWHL
Elite Levels:
There is no max as these figures are challenging and difficult for current Olympic-level skaters, NHL skaters, professional skaters and beyond...
