Hello
My son is a young hockey player and his hockey coach taught him the skating technique (commonly used by figure skaters) whereby the skater skates with the leading skate pointing forward and the trailing skate pointing backwards. What is the name of this move?
Also there is a skating technique that has become popular in move advanced hockey players that has been called (by some) "the shuffle stride". Is there a name for this move in figure skating? The move involves skating quickly forward and quickly shifting the weight from side to side using cuts with just the heals of the blades.
Thanks... Pete
