It sounds familiar... maybe I read it somewhere. I searched on the web and found this site:

They were having a clinic at the local rink and was wondering if they were any good

i was reading through the skating section:

"Forwards: Sidney Crosby, Simon Gagne, Teemu Selanne, Alex Ovechkin, Mike Modano, Mats Sundin, Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier, Joe Sakic, Jason Blake, Daymond Langkow, Paul Kariya, Sergei Federov.

All of the above mentioned players are "biomechanically perfect" skaters, ie: deep knee bend before push-off, forward lean of trunk, legs push to the side when striding (wide stride), quick recovery of skate after push-off, and arms (shoulder to elbow) move side-to-side in coordination with the legs."

why dont they mention marian gaborik? i mean he is a much better skater than ovechkin (too short stride)

gaborik has a long stride compared to those guys, but is incredibly fast
