- Hey, what's going on hockey players.
In this video, I'm going to
show you some skating drills
from two-time NHL Stanley
Cup champion, Max Ivanov.
He worked with the Pittsburgh
Penguins as their skill coach,
won two Stanley Cup rings,
worked with some great players
that you may have heard of.

along with many others.

the skating drills that we filmed.
