Good video. This technique gives you a lot of forward momentum in just a few, quick strides. From there you transition into longer strides, using your thigh muscles to power your way down the ice. I like to refer to this technique as the "0 to 60 (mph)", using a race car analogy. Much faster than the "freight train" (bad) in which a skater tries to use just their thigh muscles to power their way down the ice from a dead stop. Use the "0 to 60" and you'll be a stick length ahead by blue line
@hockeybrat95 I'm sorry, I must have poor eye-sight. I couldn't seem to find your impressive collection of self-made hockey instructional vids. M2Hockey's video dynasty could've impeded my view, Just sayin
@hockeybrat95 This is true, but if you know of a better way, why not show it to the world instead of criticizing others? If you're so great, why don't you put a video proving it on youtube?
You aint starting in hockey like that. You almost always want to start from a crossover start after breaking or turning or anything. Situation that you can get your heels together and start like that is so rare that teaching it isnt the best idea
This is backward- or stationary-to-forward transition. Mostly a defenseman start or center start. Offensive to defensive involves a single stationary crossover but should evolve into this. If you're doing crossovers to turn or power turns you're burning a lot of time (and probably don't really want to be in the play).
There's something to be learned in everything new and different no matter your experience. This start has been around for decades. If nothing else, it will define your balance, ankle strength and flexible approach to any direction of quickstart movement. Keep an open mind.
You're too predictable, always telegraphing your start to the oposing team. Try to master all options and develop some that are new to get the jump. Take the example and play with variations; make it your own, then master it and outskate your opponent.

I'm curious, as someone who doesn't get that much time on ice, is this technique applicable to roller hockey?
Let's hear it, then!! Don't sandbag us!!
