Eileen Peerless Power Skating Method
The Art of Technique Applied to Hockey Skating
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Since edges are used in every single skating skill, the better the edges, the better the balance, the better the skating. Knowing where the body belongs in every skating maneuver is critical to improving both skating technique and balance. A strong, powerful stride enables the skater to play the game at a higher level. An inadequate stride is a hindrance to speed. Learn the skill of striding, then learn it with power, and then with agility. Agility includes quickness. Speed can come through power or quickness. Each has its place in a game situation and each should be mastered. In Chapter One, learn one skill using power, and in Chapter Three, the same skill for agility and quickness.
