Short!!!!! Story of my life Ray.... I was always on a mission to have faster foot speed, better mechanics, and more power and hungrier than anyone taller... which was a ton of players!😀
I’m 5’6” 66yrs. Play 3 times/ wk. 155lb. very good shape, started in line skating ,I love to skate, it’s my strongest asset but I want to go faster , I’ll do this ,I’m sure it’ll kick in when I’m on the ice or pavement. Thanks , good job too.
I have continually told my 8 year old son that he needs to have more knee bend! Sometimes kids need to hear it from someone else. Let’s hope hearing it from you, it will finally sink in!! Thanks for the tips
@@DuPrawPowerskating might have skated with some, lol but I just play lower C. Rich Tooke used to run the LTP up here but it was Sundays when LTP had games. Hoping it comes back.........
Hey Ron! Thanks for watching.... I always look at new mechanics knowledge as a win. All that does is mean there is still lots of room to improve your efficiency and speed...so absolutely take that as a win! More videos on my channel that will help you! Skate hard out there and good luck! -Coach Ryan __
My kid is 2017 year (6 years now). I think it's a wonderful drill. But -- how many times a week we should do it? And how many repeteations would you recommend. Especially because of his age.
Great ? Alexander. It really depends on where he is at, how he is built and of course age. Because he is so young you could have him doing this 2-3 times a week and build the amount of time in the deep knee bend start say 3-4 sets of 20 very slow strides. Then go to 30 and so on.
Mr DuPraw,if do this type if exercise while iam on a long break without ice,will it help me to keep in shape and improve myself anyway? Will be appreciate your answer in this matter! Thanks in advance!
*Ole yes very much so! You should also watch my other videos to add to it! This is just the starting drill and basic foundation can always be tuned up into advanced. Sorry, you are off the ice for so long.*
I am 6'2" and would find it difficult to see the Sharpie marks. Love this drill so am planning to use 2 small orange cones instead. Could also use 2 pucks- we all have those, right!
Good call Brian! I'm a short French Canadian so I don't have the height at all :) I'd make the sharpie line under the pucks incase they move to track it and I'd think the pucks would weigh down instead of the cones tipping over on ya.
Richard! Thanks for watching! It really depends on where you are at, and specifically what your stride mechanics are right now. Haven any video of your full tilt skating?
I need to work on speed so this might help me and Im gonna try out for AA and hopefully this can help. How many reps should I do this. Im gonna start doing it after my workouts
*Hey Harrison! I would definitely do a good amount. This is a huge muscle memory drill that needs reps to build. Start with 3-4 sets of 20 reps. slow without coming out of the deep knee bend. Shake your legs out between sets.*
Anton this is over-training. Great Question! When your body is already hitting high velocity it will carry your stride back at an angle naturally, but your glide leg is always up ice forward underneath you... However your explosive quick starts should be propelling you aimed directly behind to punch your inside edges and gradually close to a lateral push giving you more bite, edge, and power on each push than someone who is pushing at 45-degree angles... I have more videos about this hidden gear!
@@DuPrawPowerskating awesome thanks so much. will go through and watch all the vids to learn more! i love this drill because ice is so expensive but this is something anyone can do! thanks again
Nice. Question about return stance to a "V". Should this not have both feet return to parallel? Like an "H" so as to glide? Imagine with skates on, you would be forever zigzaging and losing forward movement because your return stance is telling people to be a V but it is not pointing forward as a glide leg should be. Can you explain? And yes, pushing straight out the side is exactly right.
@@Bruce247365 a straight line is the most efficient path to get from point A to point B but that does not mean it is the most efficient way for the body to move you from point A to point B, especially on a slippery surface wearing knifeshoes. Your skates have inside edges that need to grip the ice in order to transfer your push directly into the ice, otherwise your skates slip on the ice and you waste power and energy. In order to get that inside edge grip you need to open your toes and hips. Thankfully, the legs and hips have a whole bunch of extra muscles on the inside of your legs that help you with that movement, in addition to glutes, hams and quads, so it's a little bit of a bonus to do so. So anyways, because you had to open your toes/hips to grip your inside edge and push off, your glide that occurs just before the push also needs to be slightly outward. It's awkward to go from a straight ahead glide on the flat of your blade, to then radically changing the skate angle outward to start your push. Slight outward glide + outward push and if you don't believe me just watch connor mcdavid skate. His knee drive after the push portion of the stride is outward, very bowlegged and his skating marks are slightly outward.
Still being taught by content makers with huge followings and pro coaches. I'm like noooo please don't limit players like this thinking it's the most productive stride. Trying to educate as many as possible that there is more force and power left on the table this way.
@@DuPrawPowerskating Every single speed skating tutorial I've seen teaches pushing directly to the side. Hockey power skating instructors, usually not.
The focus of this video is actually for lower body stride, but I'm very cautious to stay away from teaching and using that kind of verbiage as it can impede a player's power who is confused. To be precise you don't want players staying to the side of the vertical plane like sprinters... It can actually work against hockey lower body mechanics creating front-to-back leg drive like a sprinter with less external ankle and toe rotation causing less power to the edge and slip. Players should not come outside thier (opposite) shoulder at all, but I'd be careful to not create a sprinting technique arm action. Thanks for watching and the input.
@@DuPrawPowerskating I was only concerned that players may copy the arm positions on ice and off-balance themselves when doing straight line sprints for the puck. “Train as you’d play” was also something I grew up with so you don’t train lazily as it can creep into your game. I understand the mechanics of this off-ice drill are for posture, muscle memory, increasing extension and muscle stamina. Thanks for the video and the comment.
Correct!!!! Exactly why you are losing force if you train this way. Most coaches don't understand the physics of your velocity up ice pulls your legs back and diagonally... you should NOT be training this way unless you want to limit your speed or don't have a true understanding of the physics involved. Some players are trained with older techniques that just keep getting taught that way.

I hope it helps Scott. If he can start getting that muscle memory and connect with the power & technique at a younger age even better!😄
DuPraw!! One of the best videos I’ve seen Coach. I’m trying this TODAY!!

Pretty sure it's best practice to not allow your arm to cross your body's vertical centre, so be mindful of your posture while doing this.

*You a Marine Ken? You rock man... thanks for watching*
So is this something that can be done every other day on top of other leg training?
Absolutely but then you can take it to a more advanced version!
would be good except when you skate your leg goes backwards diagonally and not to the side
