Looking to improve your gap control in hockey? For all you defensemen we are building off previous videos to break down how to control your gap better, and stop more forwards before they enter the zone. • In my previous video titled How to Move or Defend Like an Elite NHLer, I discussed specific skating patterns that are essential for achieving effective Gap control. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend checking it out. It provides a great foundation for the mechanics we'll be exploring in this video. • When it comes to actually controlling the Gap during a rush, there are specific techniques you can employ when skating backward. I personally recommend using the soft drag. The reason behind this recommendation is simple: when you're skating backward, stopping abruptly can slow you down and cause you to lose momentum. Techniques like a reverse snowplow or a two-foot stop can be detrimental if the opposing player changes direction. That's where the soft drag comes in. • By employing the soft drag, you can effectively close the Gap without sacrificing your momentum. It requires minimal effort and allows for quick changes in direction. Instead of exerting excessive force or making big movements, this technique enables you to swiftly adapt while maintaining your speed. • Sign up for our World Class Free Training to start learning about the Downhill Skating System here: • https://train2point0.thinkific.com/co... • Skip ahead and join the Train 2.0+ movement by becoming a member today: • https://train2point0.thinkific.com/bu... • Don't forget to check out last week's video here: • • How to Pass in Hockey • Visit us on Home Ice at our website for more details about Train 2.0 and the Next Evolution of Hockey Training: • https://www.train2point0.com/ • Shoutout to our amazing video editor @TheDownhillSkater .
