Can’t stay low on the ice? It may not be a technique problem—it may be a position problem. A strong skating position requires four key qualities: 01 — Ankle dorsiflexion 02 — Hip flexion and rotation 03 — Hip strength at skating-specific angles 04 — Single-leg control If you can’t access or control these positions off the ice, maintaining them at speed becomes much harder. Complete the 8-minute protocol: • Knee-to-wall — 8/side • 90/90 hip switch — 6/side • Lateral split-squat hold — 20 sec/side • Controlled single-leg squat — 5/side Perform 2 rounds, 2–3 times per week. Access the position. Own the position. Transfer it to the ice. Save this post, train the protocol and retest in 14 days. Send it to a teammate who keeps standing up in their stride. #EuroEliteHockeyDevelopment #HockeyDevelopment #HockeyTraining #SkatingDevelopment #HockeyMobility
