"The Legs Feed The Wolf..."
- Herb Brooks
Players and coaches of North American teams have seen that European hockey players are extremely fast skaters. This is because the players practice everything on the ice at uncomfortably fast tempo and speed. Their feet are always moving, their stick never stops moving in and out, passes are made and received while skating full speed around corners, and goaltenders never know when the shot is coming.
Because of the incredibly high tempo of movement in practice, the players "comfort zone" (meaning the pace in which they are comfortable performing the skills of the game of hockey) is also incredibly high tempo. Therefore, when they enter into a game, they do not have to crank it up a notch like many other players do. Instead, they just go into the game, and perform at the same tempo that that they have practiced at hour after hour, year after year.
