I read something that theorized that so called “wide trackers” - usually taller skaters (I believe the leg:torso length ratio matters)- generate a lot of power, because they sort of corkscrew their hips while in stride. McDavid is a good example, but you guys have seen plenty I’m sure. And some people say if the wide tracker took a longer stride, they’d go faster, but, like you guys, I don’t think it’s a choice. I think that this is actually the way that a certain body type must skate in order to generate the most power.

ODR is seriously one of the most important tool for improvement! One thing I've noticed and heard over and over again from the best players are the amount of time they spent playing pond hockey and practicing in their garage. After reading the Talent Code and Hidden Potential, both books you guys recommended, that deliberate practice and even more important deliberate play really becomes a corner stone of development. Thanks again for the book recommendations!

Happy you enjoyed the recommendations!
