All registered athletes will be placed into groups of 2-4 by skating skill and/or age. Each group will be assigned 1-2 lesson times each week for professional power and edge development!
In addition, your registration grants your athlete access to *4+ hours of open ice each week to further practice and develop their skills.
*Please note, there will be no off-ice class associated with our June package for 2024. Our on ice sessions will be led by Mallory and/or an Assistant/Junior Coach for Oka Skating Academy.
*Mallory is expecting her first child in July so her on-ice activity will be very limited. Be aware she will be coaching from the box, using video and utilizing an assistant coach when possible. The academy’s professional coaching will not be impacted.
SKATING SKILLS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN EVERY LEVEL OF ATHLETE FROM SQUIRTS TO BANTAMS, TO JUNIORS TO THE NHL.
“Skating is at the very core of skill development in hockey. Skating ability determines the ability threshold for puck handling, passing, body contact and shooting.
It is important that young players focus on learning the proper skating fundamentals, and that skating is continually worked on as a player progresses.”

Open Ice
While working with a coach to learn proper skating skills is extremely important… so is the time spent practicing those skills outside of our lessons. This is why we always offer and encourage our registered athletes to take advantage of our ice time.
Our coaching team currently works with one group at at time; meaning we take up about one third to one half of the ice for structured learning. This leaves the other side of the ice open for registered athletes (not in the active lesson) to practice on their own. Those who put in the extra practice outside of their lesson will always see a greater return in their investment.
There are always pucks and a net available for stick handling and shooting.
Taking full strides and never got beat…
“My son’s team won their game last night. Every time he had to skate hard and fast on defense he was doing what you taught and taking full strides and never got beat.”
Scott, Athlete’s Parent
The growth we’ve seen in our son is phenomenal.
“The growth we’ve seen in our son is phenomenal and we really hope we get the privilege of being able to continue working with you! You’ve been excellent at helping guide us as parents as well!”
Rachel, Athlete’s Parent
Recognizes the amazing coach you are, not just in skating but in building confidence.
“My daughter recognizes what an amazing coach you are, not just in skating but in building confidence, building an athlete and being a role model. I hope you know how impactful you are!”
Sabina, Athlete’s Parent

So, why is skating with Oka different?
First, our programming is personal. We evaluate the athletes' skating skills on day 1, and address key areas of their skating over the following sessions. We also work with small groups, allowing for more personal feedback each session than large groups allows.
How are Kids Grouped?
The enrollment form will ask your athlete's team level. This is a starting point for us. Team level does not equal a certain skating skill level. Therefore, your child may be placed with others at different team levels… our goal is to always group athletes with similar skating skills/needs so our lessons can be efficient as possible.
*12+ hours open ice
4 on ice training sessions (30 minutes each)
