"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!"
