Video: Skating Figure 8’s

Skating is by far the most important hockey fundamental. Everything
stems from your ability to move on your feet. You should feel as
comfortable in your skates as you do in your tennis shoes. That means
learning how to use your edges to balance and help you move effectively
on the rink. What are your skating strengths? What can you do to improve
them? There are many things you can do off-rink to help create new
patterns of movement on the rink. Think in terms of strength/balance and
speed/movement.
