Do alot of cardio workouts…it really helps. For example at the begininning of my season this september I felt i was slowing down as well…since then I’ve been using my elliptical working out 30 mins a day for about 4 out 7 days a week. Whenever you got a chance do some cardio activity, helps alot.

Good luck buddy.

Answer by coachcoob
next time you are on the ice, grab the crossbar of the net and push it ten strides – carefully note the body motion needed to do this – that is the essence of a powerful stride – after that, listen to “duffman” (the pylos etc.) – technique and explosion, easy, huh

If you are a rep hockey player you have probably taken Power skating lessons some time in the past. Contact the power skating coach for some follow up exercises. If for some strange reason you haven’t taken power skating training take the lessons. If you can’t find these in your area contact your local figure skating classes and ask them about them.
