Skating skill found from Internet. if you really wnat to know how to skate, you may be patient to read the following.
STATION # 1
T-Push and Glide
At this station you will learn how to properly begin a skating maneuver using the T-push. Gliding is a very important skill to learn in skating as it gives you the ability to develop balance. It is also the fundamental element required in the various areas of skating.
On the ice, take a marker and draw a 'T' on the ice.
One at a time practice putting your back blade on the top of the 'T' and your front foot on the vertical line of the 'T'. When standing in this position your arms should be held out to your sides for balance and presentation.
Now that you know how to position your feet, you can begin to learn how to push off and begin moving.
the back leg is your 'power leg'. You will use this leg to push you forwards. When pushing you will bend your knee and feel the blade grab the ice.
the front leg is where you transfer your weight onto. This leg begins bent and will straighten once you put your weight on it.
Now do the 'T-push' and try to hold the glide as long as you can.
In order to glide, you must try to balance by standing straight and tall. You should feel like you are gliding on the middle to ball of your foot.
Don't forget to hold your arms out for balance!
*Good Job! Now go and teach your group!*

STATION # 2:
Stopping Techniques
At this station you will learn how to stop in skating without banging into the boards or dragging those toe picks on the ice. Stopping is a very important skill as it is not only a skating element, but is needed for safety. Those skaters who do not know how to stop are often those who have the most fear about skating. Stopping is a simple skill that can be done a number of ways depending on the skaters ability level.
To begin stand with your feet together. Now try moving your toes together and your heels apart. The result will be like a triangle with your toes at the top and your feet forming the sides. This is what your feet will do when doing a snow plow stop.
Glide slowly forward with feet together. On your own try doing a snow plow stop. When about to stop, bend your knees and quickly turn your toes in towards each other. (They will not be touching)
Practice as a group all gliding and one person be designated to say stop to the rest of the group. Everyone must be balanced with head up, arms out and knees bent to be ready to stop.
The next stop is a half turn stop. Now stand with your feet together again with your knees bent and arms out. How can you make your body turn half a turn to one side and then another.
Try gliding slowly with head up, knees bent and arms out. Your arms will help you turn if you press them in the direction that you are turning. You should try to press your hip out to get you around. (If you need a demonstration, ask the teacher)
Everyone practice gliding again and have one person yell stop.
Make sure you practice stopping so that you end up facing both directions.
*Good Job! Now you can go and teach your group!*

STATION # 3:
Sculling - Forward & Backward
At this station you will learn how to perform forwards and backwards sculling. Sculling is an important skill which develops a skaters ability to 'push through the ice'.
In your group, organize yourself in a straight line.
Stand in an upright balanced position, with arms out to your sides. Now bend your knees and push both feet out. This will cause you to move forwards. To pull your feet back in, straighten your legs and pull in using the inside muscles of your legs. ** The important thing in sculling is to keep your knees bent and push out with the blade **
Keep practicing, and try to travel faster by pushing out and pulling in with more force.
The back scull uses the same principles. The only thing that is different is that you are standing backwards and you balance more on the front of your blade so that you will not fall down.
Practice the same way as you did for forward strolling.
*Good Job! Now you are ready to go and teach your group!*

STATION #4:
Cross-Cuts
At this station you will learn how to do Cross-Cuts. This is a fundamental skill required in every ice skating sport. Cross-cuts allow you to increase your power and have agility to maneuver around bends or corners.
Have your group position themselves around a circle. Stand in a straight and balanced position with arms extended and knees bent. Take your outside foot and push it away from your body. This will cause you to move forwards. Keep pushing with your outside leg and gliding on your inside leg. The leg that you are gliding on should be bent slightly. Count to two and bring your foot in to push again.
After you have mastered this skill we will move on to the next step. Now this is a bit more tricky. You now have to glide on your outside foot. Your inside foot is going to push out of the circle behind your gliding leg. (If having trouble understanding ask the teacher) Again, count to two and bring your foot in to push again.
You can now do the cross-cut after breaking the skill down in this way. Stand on the circle again in your balanced position. Push out with your outside foot and gliding on your inside foot. Bring that foot back in and push out with your inside foot and glide on your outside foot. This is the exact same skill, it is just put together. Count it out so you have two counts for each push. You will increase your speed the harder you push.
*Good Job! Now you can go teach your group this skill!*

STATION # 5:
Skating Athletes
At this station you will learn about the various skating sports and about some of the famous athletes that have represented Canada in these areas. Overall, all involve 'ice skating' which means gliding across the ice by means of a steel blade attached to a boot. The boots and blades of the various sports are quite different from one another as you will learn. In the early times of ice skating, ribs of animals were used and attached to the feet of individuals. These 'skaters' would glide on these ribs by propelling themselves with the aid of a spiked stick. Thankfully, the sport of skating has advanced since this time.
** When you go through each of the sports and any comments that may help you learn more about that area **
1. Speed Skating
The goal of speed skating is to attain as much speed as possible. There is both indoor (smaller arena) and outdoor (larger arena) competitions in speed skating. The boot of this skate does not go as high up the ankle, and the blade is much longer and flatter.
2. Figure Skating
Unlike speed skaters, who bend forwards and skate on straight edges to gain speed, figure skaters stand gracefully trying to achieve a smooth, effortless performance. There is different competitive areas in figure skating which include dance, pairs and singles competition. Each have different requirements that must be met. The skate of a figure skate is curved, which allows for greater versatility on the ice. The shorter blade allows for making the necessary sharp turns and spins. There are picks at the front of the skate which are needed to perform the different jumps that require the picks to catapult the athlete into the air.
Some of the famous Canadian figure skaters are: Brian Orser (men's singles), Elizabeth Manley (ladies singles), Curt Browning (men's singles), Lloyd Eisler and Elizabeth Brasseur (pairs), Elvis Stoiko (men's singles), Josee Chienard (ladies singles).
3. Hockey
Hockey is a game played on ice where two opposing teams attempt to drive a puck through the goal of the opposing team by means of a stick. Modern ice hockey was devised by British soldiers stationed in Canada in 1860. The rules were set by students at McGill University at Montreal, Quebec, from here it quickly spread across the world. The hockey skate is different from that of a figure skate in that it is not laced as high up the leg and the blade is shorter and rounder with the balance point more to the center of the blade.
Their have been a number of famous athletes in hockey that are Canadians. Some of the most important of these are:
Gordie Howe - Canadian hockey player who was born in Floral Saskatchewan! He became the first player in the NHL to score 1000 career goals. He retired in 1980 at the age of 52!
Wayne Gretzky - " The Great One "
Canadian hockey player born in Brantford Ontario. In the 1988 season he scored the most points ever in a season. Further, in 1994 he surpassed Gordie Howe by setting a new record for the most career goals in the NHL. Eric Lindros, Mario Lemiux, Joe Sakic, Mark Messier, and many more .... |
