[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean...are the figure skaters prepared to gain like at least 50 pounds and start getting smashed into the boards...and possibly fighting?

Just seems a little strange.  Like saying that a downhill skier is now going to become a freestyle skier...both sports take place on skis, but require a different physique and mental approach.[/quote]

Stupid.
Most of hockey is ice skating skills. Some of my son's ice hockey mates were getting figure skating coaching in order to develop control on the ice.[/quote]

However, if your kid can't take a hit or has shitty hand-eye-coordination...then your kid isn't playing hockey anymore.  I mean, football players take ballet and do all sorts of training that doesn't involve contact, but if they can't stand getting tackled and getting hit, then their football playing days are over.[/quote]

I chimed in earlier. People comparing figure skating to hockey are idiotic. They are two completely different sports. Both involve skating but even the skating is different. Yes, some hockey players can improve their skating skills and edges working with a figure skater but it’s just stupid to think figure skaters can easily pick up hockey. Doing an axel isn’t the same as shooting bar down and vice versa. Duh. [/quote]
