Start on one line and take a few strides going forward
When you are ready, put your weight on one foot and lower the other knee to the ice
Be sure to keep your hands in front of you and off the ice
Once your knee touches the ice, push off the ice with your steady leg and lift yourself up
Repeat on the other leg - be good at both sides!
For a challenge, see how many lunges you can get in a row before you get to the other side!
When teaching my Hockey Academy class today, we learned to keep our body in alignment in hockey position. This includes toes, hips, shoulders and head all facing in the same direction and on the same plane. There were a few kids that had one foot behind another. This in turn rotates their body slightly in one direction which will affect their balance.
Being able to notice your body position when standing still is a simple way to understand your body awareness. Standing still will be more simple than knowing your body awareness when in motion, so pay attention! Even the most simple requests from your coach are building blocks for your skating foundation.

Episode 242 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented byThe Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an informative interview with Nicole Hensley of PWHL Minnesota. In that feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Hensley brings us up to speed on a busy first month for the Professional Women's Hockey League, including some record-setting crowds for her Minnesota team at the XCEL Energy Center and how some of the less obvious changes in the new league are making a huge difference for the athletes. Hensley also shares valuable insights into her preparation and mindset for dealing with crowds that big, as if being a two-time Olympic medal winner with Team USA wasn't enough, the keys to her game and how it's evolved over the years, the importance of play reading (and how to improve yours), what she expects from her upcoming appearance at this weeks NHL All Star Game in Toronto, and memorable encounters with her favourite goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury. It's a can't miss interview loaded with insights sure to help goalies of all ages. All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the all new Vaughn SL4 Chest Protector, and some teases on the rest off the upcoming line.
Line up on a line (blue line, red line, goal line - whatever works)
Start with three good strides to get some momentum
- Then glide on two feet and sink your hips as low as possible.
Ideally, your butt should be touching your skates
- Your hands should be in front of you to maintain balance
If you have your hands behind you, you will most likely fall backwards
Try this so you can see for yourself
- After gliding in the meatball for 2 seconds, get up and keep skating
Rising out of the meatball is also important as it will help you learn to push through your feet into the ice
It is also a strength building exercise
Line up on a line (blue line, red line, goal line - whatever works)
Start with three good forward strides to get some momentum - this will help with balance
- Then glide on two feet and raise one leg up so that it's a few inches off the ice
Ideally, it should be lifted straight up and not backwards
It should only clear the ice, and it should not take away from your balance on the planted leg
- Try to stay gliding on one foot as long as possible and in a straight line
If you are veering to the left or the right, then you are not balanced on both edges (i.e. a neutral edge)
You are most likely leaning on either your inside or outside edge (probably the inside edge) - Staying balanced on both edges will allow you to skate in a straight line - The raised foot can also change the direction that you are skating. If the raised foot is pointing to the left, it will open your hip and pull your body weight to that side. Keep both toes pointing in the same direction to stay balanced
Glide in the flamingo for as long as possible
Repeat on the other leg
For learn to play hockey - the stationary passing drill - it's important to keep a solid base with your feet. I saw many new players trying to rotate their feet while stationary passing. Now, this was an ad hoc, 'hey - let's pass while we we're waiting for our shift in the scrimmmage,' activity, and it was evident that the young players were trying to pass with their feet. There was soooo much movement below the waist when they were trying to pass in place.
What's wrong with this There was a clear lack of separation between the upper body and lower body. And this is bad because the balance and weight transfer for the player was affecting the passing accuracy. The hands do not need the feet in order to drive power or accuracy. They can independently work fast enough. So keep the legs out of the passing game. The legs should provide a steady base from which to pass from.
