In this video, I take you through some of the skating drills I like to use during the summer to get my skating feeling right before the season starts.
I’m focusing on edge work, posture, balance, weight shifting, and getting into the right body positions so that when the season rolls around, those movements feel natural and automatic.
For me, summer skating isn't about trying to reinvent everything — it's about building a strong foundation, getting that skating "feel" back, and making sure my body is comfortable in the positions I need to be in when I'm playing at full speed.
I'll break down the drills I use, what I'm looking for with each one, and some of the little details that I think make a big difference.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video, make sure to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE — more hockey, skating, training, golf and behind-the-scenes content coming every week! 🏒🔥
