HOCKEY HIP: PART I "HEALTHY HIPS"

Pre-Routine Notes

⏱️ 30 min⚡ Equipment: Rocker Roller, Shutout Strap, Power Puck, Breakaway Band

📝 Hockey Hip – Part I builds the foundation for every stride, push, and recovery on the ice. It focuses on hip flexion, extension, and circumduction — the key motions that drive power and control how your legs move through each phase of skating.

Players will learn how to feel and control their hip movement — improving awareness, balance, and coordination for stronger, more efficient skating and net-minding. This routine releases tight hip flexors, activates the glutes and core, and improves mobility to reduce stress on the groin and lower back.
