In this video, I break down why the ability to open up your hips instantly increases your options, your speed, and your overall hockey IQ. Opening up isn’t just a mechanical skill it’s a way to read pressure, create new passing lanes, and stay deceptive with the puck. Elite players don’t skate in straight lines, they open up to control defenders, attack space, and dictate the pace of the game. Master this, and your whole game changes. #hockey #skating #skills
