This video explains how to use inside edge fakes in hockey to deceive defenders and create offensive opportunities.
Coaching Bullet Points:
- Use the inside edge of your skate to push off and change direction quickly, keeping the puck protected.
- Shift your weight over the middle of your skate to maintain balance and control during the fake.
- Keep your shoulders aligned over your knees to prevent leaning too far back, which can cause loss of balance.
- Lift the non-weight-bearing foot slightly or drag it on the ice to maintain stability during the fake.
- Add head fakes or puck movement to increase deception and make the fake more effective against defenders.
