Quick facts
About Quantum Speed Skating Systems
Quantum Speed Skating Systems has been delivering on-ice skating development in Edmonton since 2001. The programme offers a tiered system of named tracks — including Quarks for U7–U9, QuikSk8 and Quest for U11–U13, and the flagship Q3 programme — as well as private sessions, in-season weekly training, and online courses focused on technique, power, and speed.
Coaches Vanessa Hettinger and Melanie Thomas lead instruction with an emphasis on observing and correcting individual technique rather than simply running players through drills. The programme serves hockey and ringette players from U7 through U18, with both group and private formats available throughout the season.
What parents say
“Vanessa Hettinger and Melanie Thomas are doing a great job teaching power skating in Edmonton. I like the fact they are actually taking the time to observe and correct skills for young hockey players. There are other options out there if you just want to give your money away and not see any skill development. Just doing drills in three lines up and back does not equal any skill acquisition. Quantum gives great quality instruction.”
