Technique in Action

Technique is the foundation of my teaching.  Good technique lets you skate better, faster and with more confidence when executing other hockey skills.  Good technique is using deep edges to execute the various skating skills.  Having correct skating technique under pressure, and without thinking about your feet, is the ideal.  Mastering correct skating technique allows you to do just that.  The photos here show my students in actual game situations.  These skaters were not even aware of their skating; they were too involved in the moment of playing the game.  That is why my teaching stresses technique that is needed to “skate the game.” 

A great big thanks to my students who have shared their pictures of game playing moments that demonstrate great skating!
