Today was a day of learning! I emailed Kelly Lockwood asking her about the difference in speed between hockey skates and figure skates but we ended up talking primarily about hockey skates and how your speed and agility depends to a large part on how the blade is contoured and what the hollow is.

I’m definitely excited to see how many actually take the challenge!Read More »We Need to do Better for the Kids
