"Forward
Skating
Exceptional Hockey Players make skating a natural skill, make skate
second nature. The only way this happens is improving skating skills
through daily practice.
Skating Phases
Skating involves three distinct phases... the Drive, the Glide and
the Recovery. During all phases the skater naturally moves their
arms giving them maximum speed around the rink.
Drive
The "Drive" generates power using a side thrust.
Back Leg - extends fully … Toe - makes the final push
on the rink... Body - leans forward.
Glide
The "Glide" maximizes the stride length with the body staying
over the glide foot. The "Glide Phase" also begins any stopping
actions.
Shoulders - over the knees... Knees - over the toes...
Back Leg - over the rink after pushing off for the drive.
Recovery
The "Recovery" gets the skater ready for the next "Drive.”
Back Leg - comes back under the body... Hips - over
the skates... New Drive Leg - begins the "drive phase" when
the hips are under the skater's body."
