A good hockey player hinges upon a good skating technique to support his game. Let’s observe the three main phases of the skating process in hockey, and point out a few common mistakes that can be made in each phase. The first phase is the stride, or where the power derives from to glide forward. This begins in the hip of the back leg, flows through the knee, and finishes in a full extension of the ankle. The leg and foot should be at about 45 degrees from the direction that you will do skate, and the weight should be on the ball of the foot, and more to the inside edge of the blade.
