Vet, the reason I am laced up is because I was skating post-game. Only had the ice to myself for 5 minutes

Sweet!!!!!  Great work man .   Are you working with a skating coach?   

Not in person. A mad hockey scientist has been giving me remote advice 😜

Thanks! I still have a long way to go, that's for sure. Yes, I work, but I'm self-employed and set my own schedule. Trust me, my progress would be far less impressive if you knew how many hours of skating I've logged over the past 2 years. 

 

 

Yea, it's strange. Getting on the ice is so customary now it's hard to imagine I spent the majority of my life having no idea how to skate!

Skating comes far easier to me than shooting haha

Haha I live at the Richmond centre  when I'm in Van. 6 CAD for 6 hours is unbeatable

 

Thanks for video I'll check it out

Update: I've been in Canada the past 5 weeks (Calgary and Vancouver) been playing a lot of drop in with skilled players but it's much more difficult to get open ice here as opposed to the east coast

What can I do to get faster?

Thanks all. My game has been improving through practice and pick up games. I've been fortunate enough to play against relatively skilled players (the best players in our games are former college players) and acclimate myself to fast paced games.

It was a little disconcerting at first, but that's always how I've preferred to learn. The way I see if you truly want to improve it's always best to start off as one of the worst players in your league and bust your ass towards being one of the best.
