Hockey Skates of today have ruined skating?
Does anyone remember leather skates and the first nylon protection. Wasn't that enough. Today when I view college or pro hockey the players have lost their ability to skate with the fluid hip motion reminicent of the early 70's and 80's in hockey. The players can not flex forward and as important laterally. Watch any video of speed skaters they still can skate. Hockey players practically run down the ice, cannot pivot and skate too straight up. It's all because the skate manufacturers have abandoned great skates like TACKS, DAOUST and Bauer. The names are there but they are so full of plastic and crap that you cannot flex. Never mind heating up the plastic it will not flex. Been skiing lately? Bring back flexible comfortable skates with leather and some balistic nylon cover. Forget the idotic plastic. Who are these designers castoffs from Solomon ski boots? Bring back the beauty of skating. It's barely evident in college hockey and Pros. And it's the skates fault.
All the skates fault? Players today don't go any slower or faster then old skaters. If anything, they go faster. And you won't do back in time. Try taking a puck to the foot in one of those skates. then try it in a modern composite boot (nobody uses plastics much, it's all carbon fiber) Then you'll understand more.
The composite boots are lighter, stronger, and in general much better.
the thing with skating stride depends more on how the skaters have been taught then the boots. Short powerful strokes get you up to speed faster. Long smooth strokes like the one's you're describing don't happen as much, only on longer skates- like an end to end rush.
there are lots of very smooth skaters in the NHL. And no one in the NHL uses a leather and nylon boot anymore.
