Backward Positioning - Mohawk Pivots

In this edition of the iPlayHockey.ca Development Program, instructor Mike Pilon teaches us the Mohawk Pivots with a puck. This allows players to open up and begin skating up ice with the puck on a transition.

I like the idea of the fat diamond, kids will love that, thanks!

Not sure how long you have been teaching mohawk turns, but I have taught mohawks in power skating for 35 years and as far as I know they are a forward to backward turn going from a front inside edge on one foot to back inside edge on the other. Used by defencemen who don't want to give up speed when transitioning from forward to backward. What you are doing is what I would call a heel to heel back to forward transition.

[@raffi98]

is this a forward pivot? if no, could you be more specific on that maneuver? i cant figure how you can go forward and be on the front of an edge
