I'm getting back into to hockey after 30 years of not playing. Your instructions and advice clarified so much for me. When I played back in dark ages nobody mohawked (other than a transition as you described). Now all the cool kids are doing it and i can see that it is a useful technique. Thanks for the help.
As someone getting into hockey late in life, these videos are invaluable. Thanks so much for the information and instruction!
You are very welcome. Be patient. These things take time. This move in particular… I love to use so with my younger skaters because it forces you to shift your weight/balance from one skate to another. This move in particular will improve your overall skating. Keep working on it!
7:17 I've been working on learning 10&2 without much success for over a month. By carefully following your tip at 7:17 I'm finally starting to make progress. Thanks!
Nice!!! That's awesome. It's a great trick. Ultimately, you only have one foot on the ice at any time and that little drill helps a player to weight shift properly. Keep it up!
By far the best break down for this on youtube
Wow… that’s quite the compliment. I appreciate that, thank you!
Great demonstration! Only thing that could also help would be a demonstration while handling a puck. The way you break this down is fantastic. Thank you
That's a great idea. I am currently putting together a few courses... one for Shooting, one for Skating, and another for stick handling... all with examples and drills on how to master the skill. Puckiung handling in the Mohawk is definitely going to be in there. Thanks for the comment.
@@kellianhockeyskilldevelopm2321 That will be very helpful! Playing my first game in a couple weeks, this content is huge for me, thank you!
I'm really enjoying your detailed thoughtful breakdowns, thank you for taking time to post quality content!
Quick ?n: could it be a difference between North American and European skating school of thought that 10&2 is commonly taught as a one skate exercise in NA, where is a lot of coaches across the pond seem to advocate for this as a two foot exercise? and use examples of players like Kaprizov or Dahlin doing in the show? Would appreciate your thoughts on it.
Thank you for your comment. I personally advocate the use of the "10 & 2" technique as a fundamental tool for enhancing overall skating balance. Practically every skating maneuver involves one skate gliding and pushing while the other remains off the ice, except for specific instances like C cuts and gliding turns. Proficiency in balancing on one skate is paramount.
The "10 & 2" technique primarily serves as a transitional move from forwards to backward skating. Beyond this, it has diverse applications. It can be employed for deceptive movements, misdirection, safeguarding the puck, and enabling some players to open up for shooting opportunities. The only scenario in which I've observed it used as a two-footed technique is in what's often referred to as the "Sidney Crosby" turn.
That being said, when working with individuals new to skating, I recommend initially teaching a two-footed "10 & 2" gliding turn around obstacles. As players progress, they can start incorporating pushing in the "10 & 2" position, eventually evolving into a one-footed skating technique. Successful skating hinges on achieving superior balance and strength. These are the core elements. Once players grasp the fundamental techniques, they can develop a style that suits them. They will adopt moves that complement their strengths. Professional players may effortlessly execute a broader range of moves, but they often favor certain techniques that align with their style.
In my experience, I have seldom utilized the "10 & 2" technique for purposes other than transitions; it doesn't align with my personal style. I believe that instilling strong fundamentals enables players to choose techniques that harmonize with their unique style. In some cases, this can lead to the creation of innovative, previously unseen maneuvers. Ultimately, the more techniques you can master, the better your balance becomes. That's the objective. I don't subscribe to the notion that one must master a specific skill in a particular way to skate like the pros. It's more about providing an additional avenue for enhancing balance and edge work. Discrepancies in teaching approaches from one place to another likely stem from differing coaching ideologies. It's important to note that I haven't personally observed coaching methods overseas, so my observations are speculative.
@@kellianhockeyskilldevelopm2321 thank you for the detailed response. For reference here's one of many videos of european stype of 10&2 where both skates are held on the ice: ruclips.net/video/9yX5umRHX14/видео.html
these sources claim that this is "the only way" to do this @ speed, and without losing speed. Kaprizov displays this in the show on the regular basis, but it's hard to say whether he really distributes his weight evenly between both skates, or still transfer it front to back, just without explicitly taking skates of the ice?
First off: “This is the only way” is something I will never say. How a player uses a skill to enhance their style is very personal. What works for them… works for them. What he was showing, is certainly a 10&2 gliding turn. Which is great. It has its advantages. But a gliding turn slows down a player. It certainly opens a player up to see a lot more around them though. You can, however, see him slowing down on each turn. If you want to push… it’s off of one skate. So, you can do simply transfer your weight to one skate during the 10&2 and generate power. The way this person does that turn requires quite a bit of flexibility to turn those skates out. He’s doing a great job in this example, But, in my opinion, it’s not the only way to do a 10&2.
fire your camerman.
Super helpful comment. Thanks.
