The Great Blizz’s Secret to Skating Success: Why Skate Helper is the Ultimate Training Tool
When it comes to learning to skate, nothing beats a reliable training aid. Recently, our friends at The Great Blizz, a rapidly growing inclusive hockey program, shared a glowing review of Skate Helper and the impact it has had on their skaters. The Great Blizz received their first 10 Skate Helpers last year with the help of Heather from Skate Helper, and within just a few weeks, nearly all of their players were skating independently! Now, with their program booming, they’ve just ordered four more.
The testimonial highlights the many ways that Skate Helper supports skaters of all ages, helping them find their balance, gain confidence, and master the strides they need to become hockey players. This isn’t just another novelty product – as The Great Blizz shared, Skate Helper is the real deal for both beginners and those in need of a bit of extra stability on the ice. Here’s a deeper look into why The Great Blizz and other organizations are turning to Skate Helper as their go-to training aid.
Why Skate Helper is a Game-Changer for Skating Programs
1. Safety First
According to The Great Blizz, one of the reasons they trust Skate Helper is its commitment to safety, something that’s a must for every skater in their program. Skate Helper provides a solid, stable base that minimizes slips and falls, so skaters can build confidence without unnecessary fear. This stability is particularly important in programs like The Great Blizz, where skaters with various needs and abilities are introduced to the joy of hockey.
2. Durability You Can Count On
Skate Helper isn’t just safe; it’s built to last. Each unit is crafted from durable molded plastic, standing 29 inches tall and weighing 17 pounds. This sturdy construction ensures that it can withstand countless hours of use at rinks around the world – from Boston to Dubai to Honolulu. As The Great Blizz noted, it even gives rink staff a little extra bicep workout when stacking them in storage!
3. Easy Storage and Rink-Friendly Design
One of the unique features of Skate Helper is its stackable design. The units securely lock into place, making it easy for rink managers to store multiple units without taking up excessive space. This is a huge advantage for busy rinks like The Bog in Kingston and Tony Kent Arena in S. Dennis, where The Great Blizz operates and shares their Skate Helpers with public skating crowds.
4. Perfect for Skaters of All Sizes
Another standout feature is Skate Helper’s adaptability. One unit is ideal for smaller skaters, but stack two units, and taller skaters are able to practice in an upright position. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for programs that serve skaters of all ages and sizes, ensuring that everyone has the support they need to improve their skills.
5. Bright, Fun Colors that Light Up the Ice
Skate Helper adds a splash of color to the rink with options in blue, red, and green. It’s a small touch, but it makes a big difference, creating an inviting and energetic environment for all skaters.
Trusted by Professional Sports Teams and Beyond
Skate Helper’s popularity has spread far beyond local rinks. Professional sports organizations in the US and Canada, including the Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots, use Skate Helper in their community hockey programs, showcasing their dedication to inclusive sports and beginner-friendly activities. And it’s not just North America – Skate Helper has made its way to community rinks and hockey programs in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, France, and even Honolulu, Hawaii.
Why The Great Blizz Chooses Skate Helper
For The Great Blizz, the decision to add more Skate Helpers was easy. The program has seen firsthand how these skating aids help their players gain independence on the ice. As they shared, Skate Helper is much more than a temporary aid; it’s a stepping stone to helping kids and adults alike build the skills, confidence, and strength they need to excel in hockey. The Great Blizz is proud to share these tools with their community, helping open the rink to skaters of all abilities.
