TESTIMONIALS

"In today's NHL you have to be a high level skater. The more efficient you are the more success you'll have. I recommend Skate With Power to kids and pros that want to improve on their skating and excel at the next level.​"

Hockey Hall of Fame

Joe Nieuwendyk
"I worked with Lars over the course of the summer and every session we worked together I picked up something new... whether it was coming out of a tight turn into crossovers or a quick change of direction, every session I felt a little faster. Lars is very detailed with how he teaches and that's what really separates him from other skating coaches."

New York Islanders

Mathew Barzal
"I would recommend Skate With Power to anyone who is serious about becoming a better skater"

500+ NHL Games Played

Danton Heinen
"Lars Hepso is the one I recently worked with the most. Shea Theodore, the best skater I’ve played with brought him in and it was just amazing the stuff I learned. I sent my kids out there with him and just saw such a difference in their skating. I thought if this works for them let me try this out and I noticed a huge difference in myself."

900+ NHL Games Played

6 Time 30 Goal Scorer

Max Pacioretty
"That tip you gave really stuck with me. Most times people tell you stuff it's hard to remember and tough to implement. I can really feel it, and honestly don't have to even think about it much. Really good stuff."

650+ NHL Games Played

Zack Kassian
"He had a great camp at Kamloops. They mentioned a handful of things they really like about him, but one thing that kept citing was his skating. So, thank you for all that you're doing to help him with his skating!"

Father of WHL Prospect

"I understood the concepts from last summer, but I felt halfway through the season they really clicked. I could feel the weight shift and I actually got a few breakaways that I wouldn't normally get. It was a cool feeling."

1100+ NHL Games Played

2 Time NHL All-Star

Paul Stastny
"How can a guy skate better to defend a rush? How can he get on his edges better to do certain things in game situations? It's not, 'My way or the highway.' He's really good at his job and he's really bright. He very much finds ways to draw out the best in each player and maximize what they already are as a skater."

Utah Mammoth Head of Player Development

Lee Stempniak
"I've really enjoyed my time working with Lars. He has given me perspective on techniques and certain things I have never thought of before. He has helped my skating tremendously."

600+ NHL Games Played
