Welcome to Dynamic Ice Hockey

with Diana Schaefering, Professional Hockey Skating Coach, Owner/Director of "Power Play Hockey". In this presentation, Schaefering presents hockey "skating basics" - essentially the ABC's of fundamental skating - that is applicable to any player at any age/level. Before delving into the technical aspects of skating, Schaefering begins this incredible presentation with Tips on Teaching and sharing positive teaching methods she has refined in some 30 years as a skating coach. With her "classroom" of three young players to teach and demonstrate, you will witness, firsthand, Schaefering's creative and easy-to-understand instruction, including verbal cues and word pictures, to assist a player in "engraining the feel" to develop a solid foundation for a career of efficient skating. Diana breaks her presentation into the following segments: "Proper Body Position", "Inside and Outside Edges", "Skating Backward", "The Backward 'C' Cut", and "Forward Crossovers". Diana's philosophy (no skater should ever venture far from the most basic core of hockey skating fundamentals) is reflected throughout this presentation as she offers drills and coaching tips that continually reinforce these basics. 45 minutes. 2005.
