Video analysis of a player's skating stride is an invaluable tool to help maximize a players skill. Player's may not realize they have developed tendencies such as wide tracking, high heel kick etc. until shown video evidence. The Northern Hockey School staff will video the player through various skating skills. A picture or video can truly be worth a thousand coaching words. We will help you to improve your efficiency, speed and power.
