[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]

Tell me that you don’t know what you’re talking about while telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about [/quote]

So, are there lots of girls moving from figure skating to hockey...because the consensus from this thread is no.

I can't speek to national trends but at our rink, but I've seen about 5 girls from our over the past several years take up at least high school hockey, because if you can skate well in enough to pass your golds in skating skills and freestyle, you can skate well enough to make the high school jv team without much hockey training even if your stick skills are terrible.  You are likely to be the best skater on the jv hockey team if you got your golds in figure skating.  [/quote]
