[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's popular but a much different skating skill[/quote] No, I play in a women's league from time to time after figure skating through the gold level as a kid, and the skating skills are very transferable. You just assume a deeper knee bend and remember not to stand upright, but I can "hockey" skate as well, if not better, than the former D1 player on my women's team. It was a very easy transition. The edges are essentially the same. The rocker and the lack of picking take about a week to adjust to. Where I am absolutely incompetent is in hand-eye coordination. I can't complete or receive a pass because I never played a hand-eye sport. I play defense and just disrupt play, but outskating people. [/quote]
