Off ice drills are so important. You have to practice the stances off ice with hip, groin, and knee stretches and strengthening exercises. You can even practice getting in and out of the stances with your skates on if you have good blade guards. Practice off ice is critical to not getting injured on the ice. A slip or lost edge on the ice can result in an injury quickly especially for older players lol

Bingo. And it’s easy to do this if your hips open up easily, I feel most kids get a “put your legs in this position” ... it’s easier said than done. Show me HOW. That will definitely be off ice, some sort of yoga/ Pilates/ stretching.

Wow. I shall try this on my quad skates.

Makes it look so easy 😂 so smooth.

This skill keeps you facing a passer or a target, very ready to shoot and moreover while you're still moving. It is a killer tool when needed.

wonderful!!!!!!!!!

I just saw a clip of Kristian pospisil showing the strength of this maneuver during a rush! Im learning this!

Used to do this when I was like 8, I'd to watch figure starters do this trick for various turns and coasting and applied it to hockey. Never realized it caught on.

It looks like a heel to heel(spread eagle) text book!! 👍👍👍

Another fun way to stop fast (and skate in general) is what’s called a ‘Mohawk’ in hockey. Basically, open up the hips so that both inside edges are being used, body facing towards the centre of the turn (a good way to learn is to try to build speed by pushing with the leading and trailing feet) I find it nicer than a sharp turn because your body will naturally want to fall towards your hands rather than towards the outside edge, so it feels much less sketchy to turn tight. It’s a really fun technique to skate in general with too!

I’m not sure why, but I walk with my toes pointed out and this was a way of turning that I would do since I was really little, I was never taught and it made it really easy. My squirt coach would always scream at me for it but my bantam coaches liked that I could do it.

Cool video

“That’s it.” 😂 Seriously though, good video.

oh how i wish. respect!

One leg squat, one leg strength, and one leg balance drills help a lot for this and just general agility and bodily intuition. You just can intuitively put yourself in positions/improvise while moving with one leg stretch drills

Amazing skater makes it look easy in actual life this is no easy drill

I love skating. Unfortunately due to ankle injuries playing football I do not have the flexibility to Mohawk and transition properly. I have been skating for a few years now and struggling playing roller hockey and ice hockey. Non the less I still love skating and hockey.

Mohawking is easy, I’ve been doing it for over 50 years and it’s a second nature for me so you get really good rotation and mobility is far broader. I can still do it a 65 years old.

someone is going to end up like Mikko rantenan

For me it's middle to toe. At least on the inside. Maybe more middle of the blade for the outside edge work that he demonstrates at the end. I found that getting too much toe on the push makes me lose my balance. Also, it's not a necessarily hard push. This is a move more geared towards mobility versus speed or power.

OK, first of all, this is a figure skating move that has been used for decades, Crosby didn't build that. Second of all, players in check leagues need to be careful when they use this. You are opening yourself up for a big hit in the wrong situation. And make sure you get it down before you start screwing with it in a game. Also, there is a bit of a slowdown when you go into it. Just things to be aware of. All that said, it's a useful technique just like any other improvement in your skating ability. And this demonstration is definitely amazing.

This is called the spread eagle, not the mohawk. The mohawk is a forwards-to-backwards transition where you pick up one foot, open your hips like the spread eagle, and then step onto the back foot while picking up the front foot.

"Here comes a great skating exercise for you viewers!" Me: I hope I can I do this. I'm not very flexi... Cut to instructor: short, nimble Asian. Me: *#@%!

Jonathan Dahlen is master at this. Crosby is very slow at this technique. Precise and effective but slow. Dahlen creates incredible speed and is untouchable while skating like this.

This is amazing content and it will make me a better skater, thank you! That being said, it's 2019, the Mohawk are a people/tribe. It's super easy to call this a side-surf; lets make hockey more inclusive.
