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

This skating sequence builds control, power, and agility by combining mohawk turns, outside edge work, and crossovers into one fluid drill.

From: Brandon Rubeo of Quest Hockey, founder of the Hockey Players Club

🎯 Skating Skills Targeted:

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

• Outside edges

• Crossovers

📕 What You’ll Learn

• How to execute clean mohawk turns

• Proper technique to isolate and control your outside edge

• How to improve crossover mechanics and turning power

🧠 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.
