Better Player offers a unique program for hockey players, ringette players and recreational skaters. We have our better skater program that is only skating. It is a program for the 4-year-old learning to skate, as well we can take the 50-year-old that simply wants to stay in shape. We offer something for every age group and every skill level. The Better Skater program will take a skater through a well-planned progression of balance, control and agility to develop a superior technical skater. These skaters are more capable of handling themselves because they have a stride that generates maximum speed with minimum effort and the have mastered edges and stopping. Throughout the program skaters will develop using his or her body in a coordinated effort to develop maximum power, agility and speed
