Bingo. And it’s easy to do this if your hips open up easily, I feel most kids get a “put your legs in this position” ... it’s easier said than done. Show me HOW. That will definitely be off ice, some sort of yoga/ Pilates/ stretching.

Stretching is for sissies

I’ve been doing hip and knee stretches guess I should prob get in the actual position thi

I resemble this comment! Any suggestions for off ice drills?

You might need our Hip Fix: www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

Just KZfaq mohawk excercise free instead of paying $500 for this snake oil link

They’re called Mohawks but Crosby does them so much people just call it that

He really is 👍

True !! Is there anything he can't do ??

LOL what? Are you trying to circle your net Jens??

@@TheWitchOvAgnesi I can't even keep pucks out of the net. What makes you think I can even skate around the net?

@@Jens95 LOL, well, you certainly proved that you can't do that over this past summer. :-) Ha! OK, concussions are no laughing matter... (trust me, been there, done that, scary as fuck). In all seriousness, how are you doing with regard to the concussion? Did you decide to retire? Or are you still playing?

Ok gr00m3r

Yup, we've got a Hip Fix Program with some great exercises for this: www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

I was going to say, i cannot get my hips open like this at all. I've tried. I think it's lack of flexibility

Well , you should be doing deep stretches the night before.

Yup, he's a great skater and coach!

Thanks for watching!

Off ice drills. You have to practice the stances off ice with hip, groin, and knee stretches and strengthening exercises. You can even practice getting in and out of the stances with your skates on if you have good blade guards. Practice off ice is critical to not getting injured in the ice. A slip or lost edge on the ice can result in an injury quickly especially for older players lol

One foot at a time

Transfer weight to toes when you rotate your feet 90 degrees for the stop.

We have posted plenty of dryland videos and written articles to accomodate hockey players in this area. You can work on your hip mobility with these two routines: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bM9ddc2bydzFhmg.html&t= kzfaq.info/get/bejne/la91gct5xJbHn5s.html Work on your balance/control with these drills: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMeZbKRnvNqWgn0.html Or incorporate an entire off-ice training program to maximize your edge work with the Edge Work Enhancer: www.hockeytraining.com/ewe-program

For me it's middle to toe. At least on the inside. Maybe more middle of the blade for the outside edge work that he demonstrates at the end. I found that getting too much toe on the push makes me lose my balance. Also, it's not a necessarily hard push. This is a move more geared towards mobility versus speed or power.

It's a combination of both.

You most likely have hip and/or ankle mobility issues. We've got something to help: www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

Hey Miguel, this may be because of tight hips. Check out this program: www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

I had the opposite problem back when I played as I used them too much as I was lazy and didn’t want to do a standard pivot as Mohawks took less energy for me to do.

Hunter Morin thanks

Yep 👍

Haha grab some ref shin pads

@@hockeytraining thank you! and apologies for the double post in another vid.

squat down with your heels pointed in and your toes pointed out. Keep doing it until you can do it with your feet in a straight line. It will take some time

We created the Hip Fix Program for this: www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

On my kid‘s team they would stand facing the boards and slowly try to stretch so their feet would eventually get (more or less) flat against the boards. It‘s a process, but eventually they almost all got it.

If flexibility and mobility is an issue for you check out our Hip Fix system - www.hockeytraining.com/hip-fix-program

It's the move he does before he lifts the Stanley Cup over his head

I had to scroll far down in the comments to see Crosby hate. Times are changing I guess.

Totally true. They use the terms the same way in rollerskating

Very true. But I don't think the title is misleading since the mohawk is used to get in and out of this position (especially since the word is being used like a verb). On a separate note, it is racist and culturally-appropriating to use the term Mohawk at all...

It's also very rare to skate in a straight line from end to end with no disruptions during a game as well and yet it's a very effective training method for speed and conditioning. When you over expose yourself to a motor pattern it becomes much easier in a game setting.

But how often do you even use a Mohawk in a game

Ishaan Sohi I see some guys I skate with Mohawk all the time. They like to receive passes in the Mohawk so they are open to make a pass immediately. They don’t stay in the Mohawk for a long distance, but they do it all the time like its second nature. Amazing to watch.

@@hockeytraining Hello, Hockey Training! My issue is that I can only do this by leading with my left foot: tried doing it with my right foot, and it always results in my right foot transitioning to backwards I think it stems from the fact that the ice rink in my town is counter-clockwise, so I learned most things in only one direction How can I fix this problem?

@@ishaansohi6601 As often as you need to son... This is a maneuver for mobility and positioning. It's not for speed or power necessarily. And as Austin Holthaus says here, it can be a great help for catching an errant pass while keeping you in a shooting or passing posture.

We can help you with that with our Hip Mobility work in our training programs!

It's because you haven't tried that yet.

Marc-Etienne Mercier I have though

We can help with that! Check out our programs here: www.hockeytraining.com/programs/

Like you just said figure skaters do it. No many hockey players do it. How many fend of checks at full speed like crosby doing it? Not many I'll tell you that

When a woman has permanently bowed legs we cowboys call that "Pleasure Bent"!

SportsPark 👍

Hockey Training oh hello! 🙂

Wools literally no one thinks that the Mohawk turn has a offensive name one should accommodate for you just because you don’t like the name

OK you SJW duster.

@@tarekhussein3109 I really hope this kid is kidding, but he probably isn't. What's far more offensive and disgusting is how virtually all traces of the Native American population are going forgotten because people like him who are serious have decided that mascots are "offensive" and books need to be rewritten. I used to think far more about the native tribes and respect them as a child when we saw the Indian mascots run onto the field, or on street signs or in mottos, team names or games (like Cowboys and Indians - the cowboys didn't always win). Now, I only rarely think about them because they've all but been eliminated from over everyday lives and consciousness. Kind of makes you wonder who the real enemy of their nations are today, and who is actually putting the final nails in their coffin...

SpikeFlea and you’re calling me a SJW I know native people have it harder than most people but it doesn’t mean we have we have to change the name of a turn because you two only find it offensive, don’t you accuse me of racism because I have a different opinion you snowflake liberal.

SpikeFlea why do you think you are helping the native community by changing one name. What is changing one name gonna do probably nothing for them they don’t need people to say we recognize you and change the name of the Mowhawk turn who is that helping

Nah, it's crosbys move. Skinner couldn't hold his jock strap

Obviously the cry baby is a better player, but watch Skinner, he goes heel to heel on every shift.

@@redlights1585 calling Crosby a crybaby in 2019? Someone's a little out of the loop, you should know since he spanks your dogshit Sabres every season

@@him8012 Yeah, Crosby didn't invent this, nor does he own it fanboy.

@@TheWitchOvAgnesi I had no idea Crosby didn't have proprietary ownership over a hockey move. Thank you for the info. I called Crosby a better player than Skinner so that makes me a fanboy? Stop eating paint chips dipshit
