Event Outline

On Friday night, players will be invited by small groups to step on the ice. With our instructors’ help, they will practice the sliding technique in three points.

On Saturday morning, players will be placed into groups according to affinities and skill level. By the end of the day, the most courageous (and in shape!) will be allowed to practice or play. The instructors will stay on site to give help, if needed.

On Sunday, skill development will continue and be reinforced through video analysis and simulated games
