Can speed skating make me a faster skater for hockey?
Yes, some of the skating techniques may be transferred from speed skating to hockey. However, results may vary among between athletes. The blades are different and may require some time to adjust to them. Adaptation is the key to good results. Some hockey athletes think a short term skate session(s) may be a quick fix (Tryb4joining program) to make them faster skaters. Multiple or full season skating sessions will help all athletes skate faster.
