I was wondering how long it would take before an article about Jeff Skinner showed up in here! :) There was no shortage of figure skating mentions whenever a Carolina Hurricanes game was on national TV, heh.
Haha, I only knew about it because I was watching the World Hockey Championships in May (I think it was May?) then this was on the Skate Canada page this morning. The TSN interview during the championships was adorable!
Late comment is late, but wow! I really liked that video - and how he was able to use the spread eagle in hockey. That was great!
I'm always irrationally angry at hockey players who make fun of figure skaters because figure skating is a lot harder than hockey. It teaches a lot of edge control and a lot of kids who are hockey players will take figure skating lessons to improve their skating. (Fun fact: Evan Lysacek took figure skating lessons initially for exactly that reason - to improve his hockey game. I kind of wish he had stuck with hockey, to be honest, heh.)
