Mastering Skating Balance Part 1:
Hockey Training Program
Discover the Power of Balance
Build The Base
If your skating feels inconsistent… this is why.
This hockey skating training program is designed to fix inconsistent skating by building balance, edge control, and stride efficiency. Most players work hard but never address the foundation—this is where real improvement begins.
You’re working hard… but not seeing the results you should.
Most players skate a lot.
Very few actually improve.
If your balance isn’t there, nothing else works the way it should...
not your stride, not your edges, not your confidence.
This course fixes that.

About the Course
This is where real skating development begins.
You’ll build the balance, control, and body awareness that allow everything else—power, speed, agility—to actually improve.

This program is part of the Kellian Hockey skating development system, designed to take players from foundational balance to elite-level performance.
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!
