Taking a Power Skating session is by far the best way to improve your skating skills and improve your game. If you are new to ice hockey & looking for a power skating drill you can practice on your own, sculling is a great place to start.
This sculling drill will help you increase your power of your stride & also help you skate fast with more control.You will need to start this drill by getting low into a hockey stance, dig into the ice with your heels, then push all the way out for a full leg extension, bring your feet all the way back together directly under your body.
Extend your leg without lifting your skate off the ice. You can do this drill forwards or backwards, also when you are moving forward, the weight should be on the heel of your skate, when skating backwards, the weight should be on your toe.You can also practice this drill by skating around a face-off circle. Keep your inner skate on the edge of the circle and pump with your outside leg.But be sure to keep your upper body at a consistent level, as opposed to bobbing up and down as you skate!
