Forward Stride Power Skating
Spring Power skating is ideal for hockey players wanting improve their skating skills. Learn how to do the forward stride of hockey powerskating in this easy to follow, step by step instructional video.
During the follow-through of the forward stride, no matter who is skating, there is a point when only 1 skate is on the ice. Thats just how the stride is done, so your BALANCE uneffected by returning your skates together and your STABILITY is no different from that of a stride without a full return (or wide return). This stride lets you gain the benefit of a longer, more efficient stride with the same stability and balance of any skater..
In the situations you mention, like battling for a puck or powering around a D, the player is much better off doing forward c-cuts (a push where both skates are always on the ice and you push off your heel only).
