Many hockey players begin with group skating lessons and continue with private lessons from a figure skating coach or a coach who specializes in power skating throughout their entire skating career. These lessons are strongly recommended for hockey players of any level. The BGSU Ice Arena offers group lessons specifically designed for hockey and power skating. A 6 session practice pass for public skating is also included. Crossovers, stopping, different turns and body control are among the skills covered in the lessons.
Applications are available at the skate shop.
