For wont of anything better, I've used the terms 'splay footed' and 'open hipped' in past to describe what I've recently learned to refer to as a 'heel to heel' maneuver. Heel to heel, after all, conveys the visual impression and core alignment associated with this useful skating move. Although I've heard the term before, it's only when reading this article by Dianne Ness at Let's Play Hockey that I made the connection between it and what I was trying to do.
So, guess what I'll be drilling later today when I go for a skate?!
