P+ Mailing List Get new program schedules automatically! Click to Subscribe Levi Brotnov Olds Grizzlies AJHL What Levi says about Power Plus... "Tina's teaching has really helped improve my stride, to get the most power out of it and to use explosive speed. Power Plus increases a skater's overall strength. It has improved my agility with starts and stops. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to improve their skating skills." Levi Brotnov Little Smokey, AB Olds Grizzlies, AJHL Skater... or Skate? Tina Speaks... "As part of our training, we also do skate diagnostics. If someone comes to me and says, 'My son was much faster last year, can you look at him on the ice and see what might be happening?' we'll do that. Or maybe a child signs up with me, and after three sessions, I'm thinking, 'we've practised stops for 20 minutes every day, we've reviewed them, how come this child is not stopping right?' So I may take that child aside and look at the equipment. Sometimes, the kids walk on the ice and it's obvious the skates are a problem. So I have a conversation with the parents and say, in my professional opinion, we really have to think about you taking your child to a professional to have them properly fitted, or the blades aligned, or whatever. Whatever it happens to be. We are trained for this. I can sit in the stands at a hockey game and say, 'that's not the skater—that's the skates.' Skates are your vehicle. If they're not working properly, you are very limited." Tina Caron Head Trainer Power Plus Hockey Skating Inc. Will Power Plus Visit Your Community? Our motto is "have skates, will travel!"

"Hi Tina...I just wanted to let you know that the Power Plus Classes were great!!! Every class was an excellent workout. It really helped my skating and prepared me physically for the upcoming hockey camps and try outs. Your staff were very helpful and lots of fun too!! Thanks again." Chase Edwards Kamloops Jardine Blazers Bantam AAA 05/06 Another Player... I would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into running the skating classes. I am really happy to have participated and feel I have really benefited from your teaching. In particular, the power plus skating sessions have improved my edges and stride, which has made me a better skater. Thank you. Dustin More Feedback... Justin has attended Tina's power skating the past 2 years. Not only has his skating improved significantly, so has his confidence. Tina is not only an excellent skater and instructor, she possesses amazing communication skills. She is able to give feedback and encouragement that is positive and proactive. We feel very fortunate to have Tina teach our son to be a better skater. I would recommend Tina to anyone as her patience with the players is a testament to her committment in helping each individual in their personal goals. We hope Tina returns to Kamloops on a regular basis as her expertise is a valuable asset to our community and kids. Thanks so much.
