This is a great video that teaches the fundamentals of forward skating.

Coaching Points:

• Start in Hockey Position
• Keep your elbows by your side
• Your arms should be moving side by side and not swinging across your body
• Keep a tight base for a long efficient stride
• Push the stride out the corner of your stance
• Skate in straight lines by pushing with stride foot and keeping the glide foot straight
