Skating lessons from a figure skater

[Skating lessons from a figure skater]

Talk to the figure skater/coach and make sure they can address your needs and how you want to improve on the ice from a hockey perspective.

In case anyone is interested.  I found this online:

The Unis look good Sven; in my opinion if the sponsors are paying expenses I could care less if we had advertisements for femine hygiene products stamped across our backs (although we would have to charge accordingly).

You mentioned that this is a minor league team that you play for-let me know if you'll be playing any teams in the Frankfurt/Stuttgart region in the next few weeks. I wouldn't mind watching some hockey while I'm there.

[need knowledgable skate advice]

I had the same situation as you. I ended up ordering a custom pair of XXX's and they are perfect (although I may have gotten the ankle pads a bit too thick because they are killing my right outside ankle bone).

I went with the double AA heel, and have not had any problems with heel slippage. I should point out that they are still in the process of being broken in.

Additionally, since my heel did slip on my old XXX's I got in the habit of underlacing the the 4th eyelets down from the top, which helped a little.

Good luck.

[How did you tie up your skates]

Great advice and information. I tried it out yesterday in practice, and what a difference. Even my left foot (which is a 1/4 size smaller than my right) felt secure.

Thanks a lot everybody!
