Some of these clips of drills have me questioning why I stay subbed. Not personally a fan of training in ways that don’t apply to real situations. Also, hockey coaches and camps seem very guilty of convoluted, overly complex drills which seem to only serve the coaches need to micromanage and overcompensate with overly complex drills which are nearly impossible to remember. Just some thoughts.

It looks like your glide foot is angling outwards on a diagonal, rather than tracking straight ahead. Doesn't that reduce efficiency?

Hi Ryan. Do you have a book for hockey power skating? And, do you conduct seminars for other power skating coaches? I work with an amazing program in Colorado called the Colorado Extreme. My background is a figure skating coach, for many years, but have now become a huge hockey fan and love our kids! As they improve, I need to as well. Please check out our organization on line - the mission is inclusivity and no skater pays a penny - for anything. We will have 5 sheets in western CO this coming season and are growing at a crazy speed. I love your passion for the game and your videos and would like to attend a workshop if you have them. Thank you!

I love the idea of tight, looser, tight but I feel like after skating for a few minutes, It would balance out and be mostly too loose?
@gypsyproductions99142 ай бұрын
The Sparx machine offers something that most proshops can't, and that is consistency. You get the same sharpening every single time which is not possible at most proshops. I sharpened and profiled skates for 35 years. Started with an old Fero, then Foley, Blademaster, and then Wissota. While the finish of the Sparx isn't quite as good as I could offer with the a conventional machine, it is still quite good. The machine only puts the hollow in the blade, the true art comes in how the blade is deburred after grinding. There is a youtube video on my channel on how I debur. It was shot long before I bought a Sparx but the technique is the same.
@francislogreco91412 ай бұрын
Great video but i have a question. When you tie your skates like that, do you feel maximum control on the ice the same you would if you were to tie your skates tight all the way to the top?
@DuPrawPowerskating2 ай бұрын
I absolutely do, I know pros that are so tight their feet are purplish red after games and other pros that I have no idea how their edge work is so good when they are so loose. I can't state this enough....the only thing cookie cutter advice is for making cookies. The only time I tell a player about their stick flex, lie, kick weight, or skate fit to shin guards over or under the lounge is if it affects performance. Otherwise it's up to the individual. Sit and listen sometime to all the free advice out there. There's a ton, you have to find what works best for you or have a professional watch your mechanics and sort through it.

Hi, have you ever had your skates sharpened by a Cag One machine? I've been trying to do research on these machines, but seem hard to find on the internet. Looks like that machine is using a grinding wheel more similar to a Blademaster or Blackstone. In fact they use the same dressing spinners as the Blackstone machines, they are interchangeable. Would love your thoughts.
@DuPrawPowerskating2 ай бұрын
I have not had a Cag One machine sharpen..... I used to grind my own edges at the shop, but if you look at those it's an entire solid stone not just a plastic hollow wheel laced with a stone coating...might be why I preferred a real shop sharpen.

My figure skating coach taught me to do this by driving with the skating foot, and keeping the other foot still. I couldn’t do it in my Bauer customs, switched to True TF9, and suddenly it’s really easy. In fact all edge drills are much easier. I feel far more balanced. No-one else seems to find this, and I always thought it was the skater, not the skate. Maybe I’m unusual.
@DuPrawPowerskating3 ай бұрын
When I tried on Trues I feel like the boot was higher on my ankle which like a figure skate ⛸️ is way higher on the ankle. I wonder if this kind of support or feel was closer to that with a True unlike Bauer or CCM hockey boots.
@StillAliveAndKicking_3 ай бұрын
@@DuPrawPowerskating Absolutely. Put my Bauer 2S Pro custom next to my True and the latter has a lower leg hugging shape, and you see immediately that the Bauer is really wide, huge amounts of space, and not so high. I love the Trues, but as I said, this might just be due to my feet being unusual, or some weird biomechanics on my part. A skater at the local rink does figure skating moves in his Bauers, no problems.

Good vid. I've been playing hockey for almost 50 years. Stopped here and there when the kids were young or starting a career. Technology has changed. I had those plastic Micron skates when I was around 10 or 12. Those were hard to tie effectively! Zero flex. I tie my skates similar to what you showed. I use wax laces and find the bottom few holes don't move much and if they are too tight, my toes go numb. I have 10 holes in my skates. I barely touch the bottom 3. Then I tighten the next 3 a bit, leaving some flex. Then the next 2 get a bit of a snug so they aren't loose but I can move them, just like you showed. I concentrate on the top two holes. I always always always do a double under to keep them from slipping! I keep the top two snug but not too tight. After all the years of pucks off the ankle and shin, too many bruises to aggravate and I don't want lace bite (had that too many times). I also use gel pads on the inside of my ankles. I use very short, thin socks, keeping any seams away from my ankles to avoid irritation. I also find a sock seam by my toes will cause them to go numb or hurt! I usually find after about 30 - 40 minutes of beer league or drop-in hockey, I retie the top two or three holes, just a bit to keep my ankles supported. I'm going to experiment with the lace from the outside rather than the inside. Good tip!
