      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.

    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. Dig this vid and the other where they learn figure skating. Jumping the boards was my fave segment.

      I've done a little figure skating but I've been skating since I remember, but the sole idea of not having those sharp teeth on skater blades is giving me odd creeps

      If you knew the differences between hockey blades and figure skating blades that would all make sense.

    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!

      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.

    This is one of the funnest videos I’ve ever seen! Seeing the figure skaters learning hockey was like seeing two siblings who never met before meeting for the first time, seeing the joy in discovering both their similarities and differences and having so much fun while doing so!

    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.

    this format is great because you just witness how clunky the hockey players are at figure skating but the figure skaters are just as clunky at hockey. Very entertaining!
