What Ty says
about Power Plus... |

"The higher up you go in Hockey, you have to improve upon all aspects of your game. In the last four years working with Tina Caron and Power Plus I have improved my skating technique and from that I have increased my overall speed.
When the puck gets dumped in, the sooner I get back to it, the more time I have to make good decisions on the ice. Increasing my speed has proven to be beneficial in adapting to the next level."

"... I Improved Lots."
"Here are some of the things that Tina has improved: my stride is much better, I am a much faster and better skater both forwards and backwards. And the time when Mack helped me with the dekes and puck-handling I improved lots."
