This week we welcome to the show, Luke Chilcott. Luke, a current skating coach with the Dallas stars, explores how he views skating as a skill set. Growing up, Chilcott spent a lot of time at his local rink in England, thanks to his parents, who were skating coaches as well, and their students taking him out on the ice. With a background in figure skating, Luke is able to use the different techniques and creativity and translate those to the hockey style of skating.

Luke and Adam explore how important skating drills are at the younger level and how confident skating can increase a player’s level of play and help them move on to the next level.

Luke talks about his professional experience with San Jose and his transition to the Dallas stars, working with some of the top names of Texas hockey.
