How to Skate Like Makar 🏒 

Lucky

That's great to have a backyard rink

He is making someone else's moves, he's a fraud

Never seen #37 on Boston then!🤭

"Steve is AN awesome coach, " I think it's what you're looking for

@@mikequinn3506 “Mike is an annoying viewer.” Good job with the correction Mike! 😂

About once per month or two!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that some professional skills trainers (in Sweden?) do actually use figure skating techniques with their hockey students!

Yeah, but a dude might seeing you doing that and call you a name, so it's not worth the risk.

@@WilhelmFreidrich wdym, they would teach it for better balance and edgw control

There are lots of players that work with figure skating coaches, and quite a few NHL/high-level skating coaches have figure skating backgrounds, so it has made plenty of inroads.

1. Great username 2. You can improve ankle mobility, dorsiflexion & eversion with drills. 99% of the time it's a neurological limitation, not a physical one, as your body simply doesn't believe you can allow your ankles to move that way safely but you can. Lookup ankle mobility drills for hockey & ATG (Knees over Toes guy) to learn about how to improve ankle eversion & dorsiflexion.

Looking at Makar's replays in slow-mo, it's a combination of speed, puck control, and body fakes. I think doing all of this in a real game makes it really hard. I can open up my skates easy in any public skating session too - doing it to lose a NHL-calibre defender is a different ball (puck) game

Ok coolio 😂

Same here. It's an innate and natural feeling part of my game and I often transition in and out of mohawks in all kinds of different ways throughout games. With that said, outside edge punch/jamb turns are substantially more challenging for me, to the extent that I can barely do them in-game. I can't even stop one-legged on an outside edge like players do when going to the bench. I've been skating since I was like 6 but never was coached or played men's league until I was 24.

Have you ever played with players from a div (or two) above you? They do everything you can do but just better. Same idea here - ok you can open up your skates but can you do it at speed with a puck when another player is on you taking away space and time? The point of the video isn't to get you to where Makar is, but to show the skills Makar uses in a training environment so viewers can design drills for whatever level they're at.
