Quick Feet + Powerful Extension
on-ice and off --- so your first steps out of a turn will be
QUICK, POWERFUL, and EFFICIENT. Make every step count.
Practice the feeling of applying force through your center of gravity:
1) Lean till you feel like you’re going to fall ... Entire body extended, not PIKE position;
2) Load up one leg ... bend the knee comfortably, don’t overdo it;
3) Just when you think you’ll fall to the ice - - - - - EXPLODE !!!
Eventually, do this out of tight turns in either direction, because starting from a standstill rarely occurs in a hockey game.
