The FOUNDATIONAL Hockey Mechanic of the Downhill Skating System is the CORKSCREW.
This is the base mechanic at Train 2.0 that serves as the foundation for all skating movements that an elite hockey player uses in-game. In this video, we take an in-depth look at the different levels and progressions of this movement, including aspects such as width, heel pressure, and shin angle, which are all crucial components of the Downhill Skating System. With examples from players like Matthew Barzal, Nathan Mackinnon, and Auston Matthews, Jason demonstrates drills that can be used by any hockey player to accelerate their development on the ice.
By building upon this base mechanic, players can learn to stack mechanics to become even more effective on the ice and conquer any game situation. The more tools you have in your toolbox, the higher your chances of success when faced with a complex situation in-game. While the Corkscrew may not seem like much on its own, using this mechanic will make a significant difference in your performance every time you hit the ice.
The Downhill Skating System is the next evolution of hockey training, developed through insights gained from watching thousands of hours of NHL hockey. By identifying and naming these movements, Jason was able to create a unified system for hockey instruction. Whether you're just learning how to skate for the first time or you're already in the NHL, Train 2.0 can help you achieve noticeable improvements in your mechanics in just a few weeks. We hope you enjoy this hockey mechanic tutorial.

Thanks for watching! This is the foundational mechanic of the Downhill Skating System. Let us know in the comments below how this mechanic will help you unlock your potential!
I think one of the understated aspects of the corkscrew it that saves energy while maintaining your momentum. By keeping your feet on the ice and not having make lift your leg as with a cross-over you are able to conserve energy for when you actually have to execute a more explosive move. For older players such as myself this is huge.
No question, keeps the momentum and saves your energy 👍
You are the Santa Claus of the hockey world bro.
haha appreciate the kind words, all the best.
Love your videos: From Cape Town South Africa. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos.
Appreciate that, and great stuff love seeing the game growing world wide 👍
Thank you so much men. I'm from a country where we don't have ice. I have played roller hockey all my life. This technique have helped me so much. It is like always having speed without trying and without striding. Combine with the regular stride it is like having an extra gear. Thank you man
Happy to help, keep up the progress👊👊👊
I learned this around February, wasn’t very good but went i came back on the ice in September all i practiced is my anchor and corkscrew and now i’m starting to get good at it
Good to hear, repetition is the mother of skill.
Im 25 and decided 1 month ago to start playing hockey, your videos really help since I cant really join an academy 😂
Happy to help, never too late.
Great stuff as usual. Also anytime you can do defense / gap control / backward skating stuff, i will gladly take it as its quite rare!
thank you, will keep it in mind!
insightful. thanks!
My pleasure!
Thank you Jason!
You are welcome 👍
@@Train2point0 I skate 'D' in pickup with some pretty fast people. I'm 71, 7 yrs cancer-free. This works, ..!no more fear of doing big rev. crossovers going backwards. You teach the 'little things' that make the big things happen Jason.!
Thank! Cool!
Glad you like it 👍
Do you still have the Slingshot Shooting System course available to buy?
Yes when you sign up for a 2.0 membership it's included for all members.

Not very as with most of the NHL's elite.
Super Super Super 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
