In hockey, speed kills — and speed comes from your edges. Strong, efficient skating is the foundation everything else is built on.
Deep Knee Bend
Power comes from a low, athletic stance and a full push off each edge. Lazy, upright skating leaves speed on the ice.
Drive with each stride, fully extend, and recover quickly for the next push.
You cannot make a play you cannot skate to. Speed comes first.
Edges and Agility
Crossovers, tight turns and quick starts all live on your edges. Master them and you change direction faster than opponents can react.
Off-ice leg strength directly translates into on-ice speed.
Key Takeaways
- Skate with a deep knee bend
- Fully extend every stride
- Master crossovers and edges
- Build leg strength off the ice
Invest in your skating and every other part of your game gets faster and sharper.
