The Instructional Stream – Initiation / Novice Skating clinic was developed right here in Manitoba by our Master Mentor Coach, Bob Caldwell. The clinic was created to help coaches learn how to teach skating to players 8 years old and under in a progressive manner, building from simple skills to more complex. The skills this clinic will focus on include stance, starting and stopping, gliding, edge control, stride, crossovers, backwards skating, pivots and transitions. Coaches will receive credit on their eHockey profile for attending the clinic.
