A Hockey Stick May Help You Balance on Inline Skates

One of my favorite things to do is to put on my inline hockey skates and my helmet. Then, I grab a hockey stick and skate down the street! I'm not a hockey player; I'm just a person who loves to skate. Skating with a stick once in awhile adds control and power to my skating.

Even if you don't play hockey, you may find it useful to hold onto a hockey stick and skate. Having something to hold onto may give you balance and confidence. Think about it this way: even if you don't know how to skate, you can look like you can skate just by putting a hockey stick in your hands!

Happy Skating!
