3. tricks & tips about HOMEICE HOCKEYFIGUREBIOS One of the most important stickhandling basics is to always keep your head up. You've got to be able to be aware of what's happening around you on the ice without looking at the puck. If you're staring at the puck while stickhandling, you're likely to be checked by somebody you didn't even know was near you. To many players only use the stick as their tools. I consider myself to have three sticks on the ice at all times. You can hold a puck between your feet easier then any stick and they are great tools to stop even the most complex deke. This is one skill you should always master. 

5. tricks & tips about HOMEICE HOCKEYFIGUREBIOS Edges Standing on the inside edge tends to make you go a circle inwards, across the body, i.e. a RI (right inside) edge curves you to the left. An outside edge takes you on a curve out, so RO edge curves you to the right. Edges are backwards (B) or forwards (F). Mohawks The easiest mohawk is from a FI edge of one foot to a BI edge on the other. This clipThis clip shows a RFI-LBI mohawk. When doing a mohawk, do not think that the skates need to be in line with each other. The mohawk is carried out on a curve and the skate being put down backwards can be at about 90 degrees to the one which was going forwards. Three-turns These change from forward to backwards (or backwards to forwards) on one foot, changing edge at the same time. Again, don't forget they are performed on a curve, not a straight line. Here is the tracing for a right forward outside (RFO) 3-turn.  davecurtis.net
