Michele specifies in hockey skating foundations, improving players skating tools such as explosive power, quickness, stride, edges & weight transfer to ensure players are well balanced and agile. Once players can master their hockey posture and body mechanics their edge quality, stride and movement becomes quicker, more powerful, stable and less tiring. As body positioning improves, the players overall speed, power & transition game will improve.
