True Stride Hockey Development

Skating - Skills - Tactical

 

The goal of True Stride is to bring a hybrid of North American and European coaching styles together to create a fun yet challenging skate while pushing players outside their comfort zones. Players will develop quicker with the positive, motivating, environment. They will leave sweating and smiling excited for the next skate.
