Seattle Kraken Prospect Skating Warm Up Stresses Edges and Balance
by Kevin Woodley
Victor Östman shared this quick and seemingly simple skating warm-up that incorporates all the key elements of goalie movement while working on balance and edge control.

It’s part of his warm-up routine as a first-year pro with the Coachella Valley Firebirds in the American Hockey League.

He’s very precise with it. He’s 6-foot-4 and his edge work is very good.”

For some, watching that may be enough, but for those who want to truly understand the HOW and WHY, we talked to Östman and Zulianello about each movement.
