"Growing up, I always worked on my stride. I remember working on my edges all the time and doing power skating drills. By working on your edges, you never turn your back to the puck. You work on keeping the front of your body towards the play. You have to be agile and mobile on your skates. You need to have your head up, your shoulders square, and work on your edges."
