FRIDAY
SKATE LIKE MCDAVID, SESSION 1 – BORN 2015-2013
SKATE LIKE MCDAVID, SESSION 2 – BORN 2012-2010
At just 22 years of age Connor McDavid is widely regarded as the fastest and best skater in NHL history by most hockey experts. In a modern NHL that is full of speedsters, McDavid blows by his competition on a nightly basis and continues to dominate games with his speed, making many outstanding skaters look pedestrian.
If you have ever watched McDavid closely and broken down his skating technique you will notice that he has an incredibly unique skating style, vastly different than anyone before him. McDavid doesn’t skate like a classic power skater with long strides reaching full extension. Instead, McDavid has the highest crossover to stride ratio in NHL history (3:1) while utilizing linear crossovers to reach his top speed in the blink of an eye and his edges to dart in every possible direction on the ice.
Kinesiologist and former pro hockey player Jason Yee has reverse engineered McDavid’s skating mechanics and dubbed them downhill skating because when they’re expected flawlessly the player skates so fast that they feel like they’re skating downhill.
Since McDavid entered the NHL a steady stream of other young stars who employ the Downhill Skating System has emerged including Matthew Barzal, Cale Makar and Rasmus Dahlin. As the game of hockey continues to evolve there will be many more players mimicking McDavid’s mechanics.
Cutting Edge and Instructors Trent Sheldon Perry D’Arrisso are offering hockey players in the GTA with the opportunity to learn and develop the mechanics behind downhill skating in a systematic and progressive class.
