Power-Skating Clinics
During “Hockey Week”
Nationally-recognized skating instructor Lisa Kriley will conduct power skating clinics, as part of “Hockey Week In Fairbanks.” The clinics are scheduled for Sunday, February 26, at the Carlson Center. Skaters 8-16 are encouraged to sign up and will be broken down into groups.
Lisa grew up in Fairbanks and was a competitive figure skater from a young age. She excelled at regional and national competitions. Before moving into the coaching ranks, Lisa trained under world-renowned figure skating instructors and NHL power skating coaches. She has been coaching since 1991, with students ranging from local to international competition, include the Olympics. Kriley currently lives in Salt Lake City. She is a member of the Professional Skaters Association, United States Figure Skating Association and the Ice Skating Institute.
“I’m excited to be coming back to share some of my knowledge with the young skaters in my home town. I guarantee that their skating ability will improve if they practice the techniques they learn from me on Sunday the 26th. I also look forward to being involved with Hockey Week In Fairbanks.”
Clinics will be conducted at the Carlson Center from 1:15pm to 4:45pm and are free of charge. Participation will be limited so early registration is highly encouraged. Contact Jennifer Meismer-House at 388-0434 or email
to register.
The Fairbanks Hockey Hall of Fame acknowledges the Fairbanks Amateur Hockey Association & Emerald Isle Pull-Tabs for their support of “Hockey Week In Fairbanks.”

 The American Development Model (ADM) provides age-appropriate guidelines and curriculum to hockey associations across America to help more kids play, love and excel in hockey. Brought to you by USA Hockey, in partnership with the NHL.
ADM Overview
What’s wrong with where we’re going?
For starters, many athletes spend too much time traveling, competing and recovering from competition and not enough time preparing for it. Second, there is too heavy a focus on the result rather than the performance. This attitude leads to long-term failure, as coaches forgo the development of skills to focus on specific game tactics. And third, too many athletes are specializing too early on. An early focus on just one or two sports often leads to injuries, burnout and capping athletic potential.
