Register Now for Robby Glantz Power Skating Camp! Registration is now open for our September 21st - 23rd power skating training with Robby Glantz. Glantz has coached a long list of NHL players, serves as skating coach/consultant for teams worldwide and is a regular commentator on the NHL network.
Cost for the three-day event is $135, and will increase to $155 after August 15th. Skaters will be broken into groups by age, with each group skating daily for a total of about 3.5 hours of ice time. Friday sessions will be in the evening, and Saturday sessions are being scheduled as best as possible to avoid conflict with the Dallas Stars preseason game that is being held in Tulsa that evening.
