Hockey Drills For Skating: The Anchor

Looking to add a couple hockey drills for skating development? From the Downhill Skating System we join Jason as he talks us through the Anchor, when to use it vs using a soft drag and how he coaches it to his players on ice.

Learn how to pivot and change direction by dragging your heel while keeping your weight properly balanced. The key is to avoid tensing up your leg, as this can lead to issues with your shin angle and overall stability on the ice.

As you progress in your downhill skating skills, you'll discover the art of keeping your leg relaxed while applying pressure with your heel. Remember, the goal is to maintain that ankle collapse throughout your Anchor, ensuring you don't shift your weight onto your toes.

Wondering when to use the Anchor versus a Soft Drag? We'll explain the differences and how each can be advantageous in various situations. The anchor may slow you down, but it allows for tighter maneuvers, giving you more control.

Top NHLers rely on the anchor technique to steer their bodies and move laterally effectively. It's a powerful tool for deking and deceiving opponents.
