My son loves coming to the training sessions for a couple of years already and still goes with enthusiasm.
Dan and the NTC team are inspiring and tough at the same time. The bar goes only higher every time and he loves the challenge.
I would highly recommend the treadmill sessions! After only 10 to 20 sessions you can see tremendous improvement in your kid's skating, stability on the ice, speed and confidence.
Do not be discouraged if s/he does not get it at first. Set the expectations before the first session. Give it 3-5 sessions and let your kid know in advance not to expect that s/he will fly on the treadmill as they do on the ice. Even pro players have them correct thy skating strides!
I could only wish we started coming here years earlier than we did.
