Might as well compare pole jumpers vs long distance runners. Bodies are shaped differently over years for different movements. Hockey Players and Figure Skaters have only one thing in common and they use different skates to do it.

For anyone that doesn’t know, the blades are completely different. If you’re used to figure skates or goalie skates with flat blades, regular player hockey skates feel like rocking chairs on your feet. They did an awesome job.

[@brandonhiggs88]

Very true. I've been a goalie for 24 years and the rocking chair of player skates is spot on

[@seraphimian]

Figure skates aren't flat at all. The ball of your foot, the back of your blade, and the sweet spot are all important parts of the blade that form a rocker as well.

my son had to use rink hockey skates one time and that was the last time. They don't look the skates over and the blades were rounded on either end, and my son kept falling.

I thinks in iceskating to learn something new you always have to overcome a fear to do it, to play icehockey you basically have to be able to run on ice and the rest of it is just technique.

Nichelle was a better coach overall. She broke it down step by step, was patient, and educated them in an easy way whereas the coach left out some important information which he was asked such as keeping your eye on the target when shooting; a minor oversight; however, this was to beginners. He is used to players already having those skills and Nichelle taught the skills. I think she'd probably make a good teaching coach and those are the best ones because they can truly "see" players and will be able to make in-game adjustments advice which can be a difference maker.

Body checking is not allowed in women's hockey. And two of them are women.

[@fighterck6241]

The Asian girl? Yeah she picked up everything fairly quickly. She has the coordination for it it seems.

[@h20deliriousfan82]

I feel like checking would be fairly standardish seeing as they can use their skates very well

If you want to learn ice skating without ice try inline skating! Much more fun to shred the streets than dancing on a block of ice for 2 hours a week.

I love how figure skating is diametrically opposed to hockey, and yet we share the common ground of the ice. As a figure skater myself, I found this quite fun to watch!

@Rusty Shackleford THANK YOU! That's my thing with my hockey kids, they need to learn how to actually skate before you give em a stick... some parents don't like that but whateves

This, too, is making me smile so much. ha ha. Saw the hockey players trying figure skating first, then this. Love how they are all ice skaters, skilled in their own way, and gingerly trying the other's game. Ha ha ha. Much respect they have for each other. Much respect for them all.

[@GMixer12000]

I have a lot of respect for the figure skaters that tired this. They actually did well for never trying this before. Figure skates feel a lot different than hockey skates and also incorporating stick handling and changing their stance is a challenge but they did so well!

I love how much they enjoyed doing the wall jumps. It was probably even more fun because it felt like breaking the rules.

[@fidelianerina]

For both being played on ice, they are done so differently. Like Eliot said, to see the connection that felt very far before come together. I think both have skills that can be useful to the other. Would be cool to see more people learn both and use what they learn to better themselves at the one they do. Like maybe the pivots and turns they learned in hockey could come into play for figure skating. Maybe the hockey players can take something they learned in figure skating and apply it to hockey.

[@lindsaymuller1819]

I've been a figure skater since I was 3 (18 years of experience now). I've put on hockey skates one singular time in my life and I kept falling forwards and backwards. The blade length is so short in comparison and that is so hard to adjust to!

[@meliss9536]

I just started skating on both figure skates and hockey skates and I agree!! The toe pick on figure can take a little getting used to knowing where to avoid, but otherwise, hockey is WAY harder IMO. I felt it would be best to learn both at the same time instead of having a disadvantage later.

[@meliss9536]

I was shocked that the figure skaters didn’t even say anything about this at first either!

[@abigailrice7568]

Okay, but can we just agree though: Elliot is AMAZING
