In order to skate your fastest you'll need to have good technique. I hope you'll watch this 8 minute video and listen to the instructions even though its not a hockey player. I think its really good instruction from a 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist speed skater (Derek Parra). If you get your technique right, you're skating will be faster, more powerful and you will last a lot longer during a game than someone with poor technique. We can discuss some of this at practice.
