I started playing hockey outdoors in winnipeg in the mid 80's. I tell you playing outside when its -30 with plastic skates back in the day sucked.
When I moved here I got to teaching from good old dennis johnston what a awesome funny as guy. Then from there just worked my ass off until I played rep and then jr A.
Hockey is one of those things practice practice and more practice. Even if you are having a game of shimmy you are learning how to skate better shoot harder each time. Its better to have baby steps in a way and just have fun and don't get frustraded.
