The following article is from Dr. Michael Bracko a sports physiologist and leader in skating research out of Calgary, Alberta.  Dr. Bracko has many elite hockey players, both male and female, who utilize his expertise for skating development and on-ice training.  He has allowed HockeySC.com to post one of his many articles to spark the thoughts of our readers in the area of skating.  This article analyzes the "characteristics of hockey players' game-performance skating" which have implications for on and off-ice performance training.  I hope you all enjoy the article and Dr. Bracko has a website called, hockeyinstitute.org if you want to see more of his research projects. 

Enjoy,

Mike Potenza
