It is really important for players to have the basic side to side motion when skating. This is a short video on skating technique that is more than worthwhile to watch.

I just sent this email to Wally Kozak who does a lot of mentoring around the country and a lot of it concerns skating technique.

Hi Wally,

Juhani introduced me to Gaston who was the skating coach in Davos when Juhani coached there. This short video of Gaston with an edges warm up then teaching the stride and the transition front to back Choctaw turn is worth the 12 minutes to watch it.

A2 Forward and Backward Stride and Choctaw Turn (efficient stride and front to back transition turn) – taught by Dr. Gaston Schaeffer (PHD in Body Mechanics) former Olympic skating coach in Switzerland. http://lnkd.in/bPkA9wi Gaston was also the Swiss champion and traveled the world for 5 years as feature skater for Ice Capades and Holiday on Ice.

Take care,
Tom
———————————
Speaking of Wally, he was at our Tuesday practice and suggested we enforce the idea of having 'sticks on the ice, in the lanes and on the puck.' When we played the cross ice games Wally watched and blew the whistle to stop the play and enforced. Everyone does 1 push up and the offending player or players do 5. Wally looked to see if the player realized he was the offender. It was very effective and we will use the same rule to enforce 'face the puck'. Many other habits can be stressed using the 'push up rule.'

Drills that start from the 4 blue stripes on the boards.

Drills from the 4 blue lines are very popular because the middle of the ice is empty and you can do skills, regroups or game situations either full or half ice.

We code the drills starting at the blue line as;

B600 is when the drills run from the 4 blue lines and the players pass and shoot vs. zero opponents.

C600 run from the 4 blue lines and are game situation drills usually 1-1 to 2-2 but they could be up to 3-2.

I have put a pdf. booklet together with about sixty B600 and C600 drills that I have posted so far.
