His ability to teach players how to read the ice while continually moving their feet, and his constantly changing innovative techniques — such as on-ice video projection — keep him far ahead of others in the field. Without Dave's help l wouldn't be playing in the NHL."

"During my career in the National Hockey League, I have worked with some of the most reknowned skating instructors in North America. Then I had the opportunity to work with Dave Roy. His techniques are different.

"Working with Dave during the NHL lockout significantly improved my skating beyond what any other professional skating instructor has been able to accomplish — and in less time. Through the use of video tape analysis and game-simulated drills, I was able to improve particularly the efficiency and speed of my skating as well as my quickness and balance in making tight turns. He has also kept me in great game shape through the use of lightning cords and parachutes. Now if only he could improve my hands!"

Kris King — Toronto Maple Leafs

"One thing I have learned from playing in the National Hockey League is that in order to continue competing you have to keep improving in all aspects of your game. My constant struggle to improve has centred around skating because at this level you can't get by being a below average or even average skater. I have tried different techniques and trained with different instructors. I can honestly say what Dave Roy has been able to help me with has been extremely beneficial to my career. "

"Jason (Jason Botterill), who is a two time world champion with Canada's National Junior Team and a first-round draft pick of the Dallas Stars, has noticed a huge improvement in his skating and conditioning as a result of working with David Roy.

Jason suggests that 'David's on-ice and off-ice programs help you come a lot closer to your true potential. David is enthusiastic and innovative to work with and uses the latest knowledge and technology in his teaching.'

David is unique in that he appears to have drawn from the latest training insights from several sports including speedskating, figure skating, football, and track and field integrating them and adapting them to produce an innovative hockey-specific skating and conditioning program.

David is a tremendous student of the game and his enthusiasm and quality instruction help players enjoy and improve on important aspects of the game that are often neglected.

David's program is based on the latest training principles related to the dynamics and demands of hockey. Participants are guaranteed great work outs, excellent feedback (video and personal), and motivating instruction.

David has mastered the psychology of quality training and has the best power skating and power training program we have come across. We do not hesitate to strongly recommend David and his programs."

Brendan Morrison —

"He (David Roy) teaches you the techniques that you really don't think about during the year, but he tries to work them into your head during the summer, and you can use them during the next year. I think he's done a lot for my skating and a lot for my play."

Scott Parker — First-Round Draft Pick, Colorado Avalanche

"Over the last two years I have had the privilege of being a student of David Roy's. As a sixteen-year-old making the Lethbridge Hurricanes, I know it would not have been possible without David Roy's program. My skating has improved immensely. His programs, and the way he handles players, make you want to work harder."

David Cameron — Third-Round Draft Pick, Pittsburgh Penguins

"David Roy's Explosive Skating School has played a key role in my development as a hockey player. It has helped my confidence and made a big difference in my skating effectiveness. Istrongly recommend this school for anyone looking to improve!"
