Instructor Dave Provance in Vernon Hills Illinois. Laura Stamm Power Skating is technique training
Skating is 90 % of the sport of ice hockey, the name of the game. As in every sport, technique is critical to performance. Because skating is not a natural motion, Laura Stamm created the Laura Stamm Power Skating System to teach and to correctly develop the ability to perform the numerous and complex skating maneuvers required in hockey. Laura Stamm Power Skating is technique training for explosive speed and it is proven by the Hockey Pros since 1973.
Laura Stamm Power Skating is hockey specific, geared to the sport and to the players who want to reach their hockey potential. The focus is not to drill, but to teach how and assign drills that help players feel the correct way to execute each maneuver with speed, agility, balance, strength, and efficiency.
