HOCKEY HIP - PART III

Pre-Routine Notes

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

📝 Hockey Hip – Part III trains hip abduction and adduction, the side-to-side motions that power lateral movement and edge control on the ice.

🔄Players will strengthen the glutes and inner thighs to improve balance, stability, and agility. Skaters gain more control on tight turns and explosive side-to-side pushes. Goalies build stronger post-to-post movement and faster lateral recovery.
