Mastering Balance for Powerful Skating Part III
Elite Hockey Skating Performance
Take your skating from powerful
to dominant
If your skating is strong… but not changing the game, here’s why.
This elite hockey skating performance program is designed for players who already skate well but want to translate their movement into real game impact. This phase focuses on deception, timing, and high-level movement patterns that create time, space, and advantage in game situations.
-
You can skate… but you’re predictable
-
You move well… but you don’t control pace

You’re fast… but not deceptive
This is where elite players separate themselves.

Meet Your Skating Coach: Ian Smith
I’m Ian Smith, and I’m excited to share a bit about my hockey journey. I started playing hockey at six years old and went on to captain Middlebury College’s back-to-back Division III national championship teams, earning National Player of the Year in 1996. After college, I played professionally in Germany, the ECHL with the Calgary Flames affiliate, and briefly in the IHL before transitioning to a teaching and coaching career.
I’ve spent over 13 years as a high school physics teacher and varsity hockey coach, developing both my teaching expertise and coaching skills. I’m a USA Hockey Level IV coach with a passion for helping players of all levels, from beginners to advanced athletes, develop practical, game-ready skills. In 2010, I founded Kellian Hockey, which offers skill development programs for players ranging from adults to college-bound youth athletes.
My greatest joy is helping players grow their skills quickly so they can love the game even more. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and helping players take their game to the next level!
