I have had trouble with hip and groin mobility ever since I was injured. It would be nice if you could do a video on that. I think many players also have the same problem as me. Thank you and love your videos.
thank you for this video! Im a former basketball player who just started ice skating. Im a big guy 6'8'' and 250lbs and I struggled with my ankle strenght and stability... I just bought a brand new Bauer Supreme M5s (my friend's recommendation), 1 size smaller than my regular shoe size... I will do this challenge day by day for 30 days and I will let you know the results :) I need a LOT of work with my body and it will be slow grind for me... but I will get there! Thank you for the inspiration!
@@chasehoffman6346 Hey, Im alrdy killing a hockey stop with the right foot at front. Right now Im working on my edges and skating backwards :). I dropped from 250 to 240 and feel much stronger on ice :).
So true! I’ve fractured both of mine and it was a looooong heal- after therapy and balance training I’m strong again. Ankles are like #1 for me for fill exercise. Great video and good information! Glad to see you talking about this, it’s so important🤘🏻
My boys are starting to play hockey this year... They love to practice the stickhandling and the shots to the net, but skating is the main challenge and stickhandling is pointless if you're the last guy on the puck. I'll get them ready for the season by including this challenge in their training (nothing serious, just for fun and establish commitment ) thanks a lot !
Okay so I don’t play hockey but I skate board or longboard ALOT but my ankle has been hurting (my pushing leg) and I did the 4th excercise and the pain is gone after 1 go. Def gonna do these every morning now. Thanks bro ❤
I guess this is why every hockey player should work with a figure skating coach for at least a few skating sessions- the outcome would be incredible!!!
I've never played hockey and about 10 years ago I had a traumatic brain injury, but now i'm looking for something to get better at so I can rebuild strength, and Hockey seems like a great sport that seems to work all of those mussels.
I’m just starting out learning to play and even in regular everyday routine I struggle with ankle stability. Hope this works for me like it helped you!!
Good topic to uncover hidden weakness. I made special training tool for strengthening my lower skating legs muscles and have idea for everyday home use. It’s simple, we don’t use those muscles at all while walking, why not begin with just using them and strengthen?
I’m just going to geek out real quick , when your ankles bend forward while skating the blade is on the ice for longer than it usually would on a regular stride with no ankle bending. Having your blade on the ice for longer means it has more time to push you forward very similar to speed skating skates
How do you call that platform you use on the "toes elevated squat"? My daughter was born with clubfoot and she needs to workout her calves and ankles a lot (for the rest of her life). She just started to play ringette and all those exercises could help her a LOT! I could do them too ;) Thanks
Great vid for extension of movement in the ankle but it doesn't fix what afflicts most skaters, pronation. This is why skaters fall inwards in their skates and it has very little to do with strength. You can correct pronation with one simple off ice exercise, just doing this alone will turn the person into a much better skater because their ankles become straight.
What about strengthening your ankles for edge work? These all look like great exercises to get 'knees over toes' but what about increasing lateral ('roll') ankle strength/mobility for edge work?
Hey, I just have a couple question regarding your app, Do you have to pay to get the workouts and other thing on the app and how much is it also, what come with it like is there a certain amount workout you get per month? And any other details you could tell me? Thank you

Hey Kevin, now that I've been on the ice more I can confidently say I've seen a big difference in my edge work without even being on the ice. Highly recommend players put a focus into their ankle training!
I had that problem in my old skates. After trying every expensive footbed available, I found the most comfort in a cheap memory foam footbed that would squish down to my arch shape. The problem I created was getting exhausted skating hard because they absorbed so much energy but without foot pain or lace bite. Ultimately, I ended up buying some CCM F4's in tapered fit which are very snug and do the work for my foot laterally. I can't believe I spent that much on some skates, but how much does an injury cost? As a tall and finely boned woman, I have long thin feet with scrawny ankles making skate fit really difficult. Good luck in goal!
Who in here grew up playing in leather boot skates. 40+ years, I never laced much above the ankle. Training correctly kept me ankle injury free. Lost plenty of teeth though.
Flexibility and fitness are great, but sport performance is the determinant of success. I think you need to measure your skating speed improvement in some specific forms!
I get what you're trying to say but it's more or less the person in those skates are comfortable with their edges. That's just a huge fact I've seen many men's league guys pretty much skate like an NHL'er but it all depends on how you skate and how much you trust those edges
The #1 issue for any skater isn't training their ankles. It is finding a pair of skates that fit your foot properly. You would be surprised just how good a skaters ankles are when wearing a pair of skates that fit properly.
If you do the same exercise every day, you get muscles burned. Start booking for a surgery doctor. Only if you don't play hockey or soccer then you can get away with it. These players have been playing for years to get there, not 30 days.
Would you follow a 30-day Hockey Ankle Training challenge if we created one?
Yes especially as I broke both mine being a paratrooper. Now I play on an all military/veteran team I’m getting some fitness and friendships.
Yes that would be awesome
Yes very much so💪🏽 I need better ankle mobility 😂
yes, great idea
Absolutely
I have had trouble with hip and groin mobility ever since I was injured. It would be nice if you could do a video on that. I think many players also have the same problem as me. Thank you and love your videos.
thank you so much! ive never had very strong ankles and have trouble getting on the outside edge. i will do these exercises and try to improve!
Awesome, good luck!
I just had ankle surgery and am doing PT. As soon as I'm cleared, these will become part of my everyday routine. Thanks for making this video!

@mayo1273 how did it go?

Thank you for making this video. I been training with this video for the last couple of weeks and already see a huge improvement
couldn't be more timely for a 48 yr old getting back on the ice after the covid break in action. thank you!
No problem, glad it helped!
Killer video. Been trying to find a video on ankle training for days! New skater and need to get my strength up and this is great.
Thanks for doing a ankle training video, I am always trying to find a way to be faster.
Wow that's great! I will do the challenge. I'm a hockey ref and I often have ankle pain during the game.

excellent as usual. what level of hockey did this guy play at? he looks like he was produced in a lab that makes pro hockey players.
Is this my burner account? Haha I played some junior hockey in 🇨🇦 now beer leagues
@@hockeytraining what level of junior hockey?
@@offbrandphil146 Junior B
This is very interesting. Have you ever seen anything by kneeovertoesguy? There's a lot to learn about mobility and strength ;)
@@hockeytraining Beer league in Canada...so then that's like D2 college US then? Lol 😂🤙
Love it! I'm recovering from ankle sprains on both of my ankles, I will for sure try these out! Thank you!
Very interesting. I do basic yoga balance exercises which help a lot but these seem optimized for ice performance. Appreciate the suggestions!
Thank you so much for making this video! This is exactly what I need
Really like your tests keep doing them
Thanks... doing a 30 Day Stickhandlnig Challenge right now. That video will be up in August.
I love your videos!

Thanks for the video! Amazing! Gonna try this 30-day challenge straight away.
Your videos are amazing brother! Keep up the good work from a fellow Ontarian! I eat this stuff up and absolutely live for the game.
Thanks! Will do!
Cool! Nice training! Thanks!
I always do the dorsi flex when I walk up my stairs. Its really easy to just passively do.
Thanks for your video that approves my thought ----I need to do the ankle exercise that I figured out during the play.
In 2 weeks a gain 1/2 inch! Thank coach.
I guess this is why every hockey player should work with a figure skating coach for at least a few skating sessions- the outcome would be incredible!!!
Do these exercises and switch all your footwear to barefoot shoes/boots. Helped me out a ton with my own hockey.
Great video!! Thanks for this!!
Love these videos. Cant wait to see that next 30 day challenge
Yo
Like the video. Don’t skate much anymore but have good ankle strength. Want to practice this video with Steve W skating drills. Thanks boss!
just did the test, my right leg has 7.5", left 6.7"
I skate a lot, though
I don't use top 2 eyelets on my right skate and 1 on left
That thumbnail is great😂

Best sport out there!
@@hockeytraining Well I guess I better learn to skate. Time to get good.
You can't let the seafood get lazy, work those mussels.
Should you do sets or just do the routine once
love this video. i watch it at the gym
I’m just starting out learning to play and even in regular everyday routine I struggle with ankle stability. Hope this works for me like it helped you!!
Let me know how it goes, good luck!
On it , 🙏🏼

5.5 Inches on left and right w/o warming up. Do you have any videos on hip, leg or back mobility that relate to hockey?

I know you were dying to say "F delta t = m delta v". Newton knows sports!😀
Cool challenge. What did you notice in your on ice performance and skating ?
I've felt like a stronger skater ever since doing this challenge. Now ankles are a huge focus of mine.
How do you call that platform you use on the "toes elevated squat"? My daughter was born with clubfoot and she needs to workout her calves and ankles a lot (for the rest of her life). She just started to play ringette and all those exercises could help her a LOT! I could do them too ;) Thanks
It's called a slant board 💪
@@hockeytraining thanks!
God I love this game!

how will ankle stability/mobility/strength make me a better runner?
as u know i dojnt play hockey :)
How many sets of these exercises should i do for each and rest time?

Check out the Breakaway Speed Kit we've got some great inversion/eversion exercises included in it: hockeytraining.com/breakaway-speed/
is this the same routine you did to get the results that you did?
Did you notice a difference in skating speed, quality, stability, etc?

Did you feel differences in your skating?
Unfortunately rinks have been closed here in Ontario 🇨🇦…. Felt good on my blades though
What is injured if you can’t do an ankle pump?
I've never done any ankle training and mine was 4.5 inches.
I am curious to know if you have seen an improvement on ice. And have you kept your increased numbers and do similar exercises routinely know?

Will you make a proper guide or a 15 minute ankle workout video?
We have some on our app Hockey Training TV

Did the test. Is 5.1 inch good?

Speed Improvement? Do you realize any speed improvements or any other anecdotal skating improvements once you got back on the ice?
I wish I tested it, but I did feel a lot better on the ice
Appreciate the guidance brother but are we just gonna ignore that he called the pinky toe your baby toe?
Quick question. Is there a name for the triangular box you used for the squats? I can’t find it on Amazon. Any help greatly appreciated.
Slant board.
@@hockeytraining thank you
is 6" good for ankle dorsiflexion?
Yup

Agree on that, but you also can't trust your edges if your ankles can't support you

Millimeters and you will never need those fractions again
Wow
Cool
My ankles are very sensitive and are hurt very easily and hurt all the time, what should I do?
Check out our training programs at HockeyTraining.com. We incorporate a lot of ankle training 👍🏼

Proof is in the pudding, do you feel like your speed increased after this?
So.... why are skate manufacturers making super stiff boots that give zeroankle flexibility....?
