Skate UK Core Skills
The core skills of ice skating are the same for Aspiring Ice Hockey skaters and Figure skaters alike.
- Effective forward and backward stroking for speed
- Directional changes for agility
- Stopping
- Balance
- Control
It is well worth getting to grips with these skills in one of the Flintshire Deeside Ice Rink classes
Getting the edge
1 to 1 instruction for aspiring Ice Hockey skaters is becoming more popular.
Individual time with a coach to develop agility, stamina and blade skill can give a player the edge in a big game.
Players in any age category can reap the benefits of solid technique and mastery over their blades.

When to start?
Like Figure Skating, starting learning the basics of skating is best done early on.
If starting later (as teenagers or adults), those with experience on roller blades will have a definite advantage.
Deeside Ice Rink’s resident teams are:
The Flintshire Freeze (League Team)
The Phantoms (Adult recreational)
