Micro Ice Centers

Micro Ice's goal is to deliver skill development to all ages of players, from Mite to the Professional level. We strive to develop every skater’s full potential while keeping the focus on fun.

Our philosophy is based on a player training in a reduced area at a hi tempo with many repetitions to develop the desired skill. Skating at Micro Ice will enrich a player’s creativity, puck control and teach them to “read and react” in a game like situation. Our instructors will make a difference in your skill development, they are highly experienced, dedicated and truly want the Micro Ice experience to make a difference in your hockey skill development.

Dynamic Skating

Our philosophy? Simple... no secrets, folks: "100% or nothing"

Dear Parent,

The unique philosophy and concept of Dynamic Skating is to develop the maximum efficiency generated in each and every skating stride. Proper technique, practice and focused hockey training will produce a more efficient and productive skater resulting in a more effective hockey player. In addition Dynamic Skating concentrates on the skills of stickhandling, shooting and passing.

The teaching modules within Dynamic Skating curriculum include edges, balance, agility, and quickness. Our coaches understand the value of working to develop strengths and to improve weaknesses. With this in mind our goal is to introduce a basic foundation of all skating and skill techniques. When these techniques are mastered through repetition and practice under controlled situations, the next foundation - SPEED - be applied.

The how-to is slow repetition of each drill. Without proper technique, drills done at full speed become ineffective. The basic development and confidence becomes a non-learning experience when a drill is done at full speed without proper technique...
