Skating Sequence to Develop Your Mohawk Turns, Outside Edge Control, and Crossovers

From: Brandon Rubeo of Quest Hockey

Skating Skills Targeted:

• ‘Mohawk’ (also known as ‘10 & 2’ or ‘Sid’) turns

• Outside edges

• Crossovers

Why Develop These Skating Skills:

• Because ‘mohawk’ turns are effective for puck protection and as deception (i.e. a fake) to create time and space.

• Outside edges impact many of our skating maneuvers including crossovers, tight turns, and many forms of stops and starts.

• Crossovers help us accelerate out of tight turns and during the course of wider turns.

Equipment Needed:

• Nothing beyond your skates and an open area of ice.
