Key Teaching Points:

• Weight toward the heel of the skate
• Don’t let your ankle “flop” over
• Bend your knees
• Look the direction you are turning
• Maintain control of your upper body

• Let your stick lead you through your turn
• Turn your shoulders into the turn (without dipping one shoulder)
