Edge work Drill: Forward 1 Footed Line Jumps

Backwards 1 Footed Line Jumps

This video highlights a great drill for skating edge work and balance. Do this drill one foot at a time. Create momentum with your inside edges doing c cuts, then when your about to hit the red line jump! Do the same thing on your outside edge, c cut and when you reach the line jump! You want to try to create momentum from your c cuts and jumps. Being able to produce speed from your edges is a must for all elite hockey players. Another thing to concentrate on is your jumps, rarely will you jump on one foot in a game but you can build muscle and increase balance by jumping with a purpose. Once you have mastered doing this going forwards, do the same thing backwards. When you are performing this backwards make sure to have great posture, shoulders back head up.
