Our approach

A mechanics-first approach
to skating efficiency.

The Downhill Skating System isn't power skating. It's a framework for how force moves through the body and into the ice. Every drill has a reason. Every cue has a mechanism. Every rep compounds toward mastery.

Inside the method
Reverse Engineered

Studied the world's best, then broke it down.

Years of film on McDavid, MacKinnon, Hughes, Matthews, Pettersson. We mapped what they do differently — shin angle, hip rotation, ankle freedom — and rebuilt it as a teachable system.

Proven System

Tested on NHL talent. Played out on ice.

20+ NHL players, 150+ certified Train 2.0 coaches, and thousands of players at every level have used the system. The science is in the lab; the proof is in the game.

Hey coach — I'm struggling with my crossovers on my weak side. What should I work on first?
COACH
Start with your shin angle on the crossover push. Most weak-side crossovers fail because the outside edge can't load. I'd run you through the Shin Angle Primer in the Downhill Skating System first.
