Skating Skills
Train Your Muscles, Train Your Mind
Skating skills are the most important part of hockey and quite often the most neglected due to lack of adequate training or ice time. Proper technique is required for all elements of skating, including forward stride, crossover, backward skating, stops and starts. What is the proper technique?

8 Basic Skating Skill Sets

relaxed posture
flexible ankle bends
flexible knee bends - 2" over your toes
body lean forward - shoulders even with the toes
back straight
chest up
stomach in, and
your head up

Making a full stride on the PowerSkater trains your body to memorize the technique, which results in good habits that will transfer to the ice. The PowerSkater replicates a forward-stride movement, resulting in balance, power and control. The same exercise will assist the skater in other skating skills such as crossover, backward skating, stops and starts.
