The History Of Hockey Skates | In The Slot 

Hey Guys! Thanks for watching the video! I'm really enjoying how creative I can get with videos! I've been busy with videos for other youtube channels but I will try my best to make sure this channel never dies! (Also don't judge my skating lol)

👀

Try to imagine old players like Phil Esposito and rocket rashard had like ccm tacks 3.0 that would be insane

And as an hockey fan of irish descent I love the St. Pat's jersey!

Interested video, thank you. My father worked for Bauer in the late 70's early 80's. He was worked on the 100 series and I remember getting a test pair before they came to market. It was so, so cool!

I had CCM tack goalie skates back in the 70s and 80s, with kangaroo pouch leather insoles. They were good, but heavy. I remember when the Lang hinged molded plastic skate came out and how much lighter it was. Can only imagine how light they are now with nanomaterials and carbon fiber, not to mention improvement in steel manufacturing. Go to the Hockey Hall of Fame and look at what the original stars skated on and the technical revolution comes into perspective.

My favorite skates I ever had were the BAUER SUPREME 4000 Composites. Bought in the fall of 95’ Awesome skates.

The picture at 3:09 is actually a private high school in Massachusetts called The Williston Northampton School. I work at the rink here, and the kids still skate on that pond when it's cold enough. Great tradition to keep alive

Very interesting and welcome back

your back :D

Finally. I wasn't sure if this channel had died.

Very informative, you covered items I did not have a clue about. Great job!

The quality 🤤🤤 glad to see that your back bro!!!

The history of Ice Hockey fights

LOVE the message at the end because it’s so true

Thanks for coming back, there are people out there that love your content and you’ll 100% keep growing

Modern hockey skates are just absurd with how hard the boots are . Prior to 2003 I never had an issue with lace bite or comfort. I get it's for protection and energy transfer etc., but I like my feet and ankles to do the majority of the work. I use a pair of Bauers from 1999 primarily, and I have such a better feel and connection with the ice than I do with my modern skates. They are so much more comfortable because the boot moves with your foot. And, I'm sure the leather boots from the 60's & 70's are that much more comfortable than my 90's boots.

Very Informative!! Thanks you!

Nice history! Well done. I remember switching to Tuik blades and how light they were!

awesome video. Always loved your content considering there isn’t much high quality hockey videos. Hope to see more in the future

Great video and I hope all is well with you!

The mid-90's Bauer logo used very predominantly in this video is the absolute definitive article. Much better looking that what they're using right now.

Great videos!! Thanks for the #info and #history

I've always skated on Bauer supremes. My brother always skated ccm tacks. He's older, so I tried his hand-me-down skates one time, and I hated them. I'll never skate in anything other than Bauer supremes.

you need to post waaay more! Your my favorite youtubet

Imagine if the guys from the 50s had today's skates how awesome they be!

That was a fantastic cut at 0:13 your editing has taken a huge step up!!!!!

Ice sk8ing is my favorite activity

All I remember is that learning to skate at the age of 7 with those skates from the mid 60’s was pretty hard on my young ankles…😂😂😂

Good to see you back, hope you're doing ok in this madness!

Great video! Finally got my first own skates yesterday but the ice has already melted :(

Another great video!

Nice broo!!!

3:24 No forward passes in hockey!? That's crazy!

Thank you for this! Very fun way to learn about the history of skates. I did however find the music hard to get over, it got repetitive, fast! But, thank you.

Very interesting hi from Kitchener Ontario

You need to tighten those skates way tighter! You'll get so much more control and less wobbly ankles.

I was wondering when and where and why people decided one day to strap bits of metal to a boot and make it into a beautiful as well as a speedy art form.. as someone who one day put on a pair of skates and liked it back more than 20 years ago, I didn't really think about, until now that is, why anyone would venture onto ice and speed around with grace..it's not like the gracefulness is automatic for everyone, you know! I even think it counter-intuitive to do the things we do.. and yet we do them.. Thank you for giving me a clue how far back my hobby goes. :)

Glad you gave a shoutout to Speed Skates, however that is one of 2 types of Speed Skates: Long Track (AKA Clap Skates), and Short Track, I personally do Short Track and with them, the blade is fixed to the boot and held with a tubular steel bar, mine are 17 Inches long, Long Track skates like what you had are only fixed in the front, with a hinge and spring loaded mechanism, allowing the full blade to be in contact with the ice for longer

I await the return

Love this content. Keep it up. If you could do a stick one that would be electric. I’m a broadcast journalism major so if you need help lmk know

What's the name of the intro music?

So in other words, Australia has more involvment with early development of ICE-skates than Canada?!?!

Evolution on Speed skates?

1:10 The Finnish men had to fight for their right to use these legbones for building skates. The women wanted to use them for something else.

It’s feel like you’re eating a dry bread and talking at the same time

Graf canada ruined graf skates with cheaper metrals and a boot that can only last a year

Excellent vid, check my goalie dangles.

BCE instead of BC. 🙄

Way too little in terms of the history 1900 to 1950.

Wtf is CE?
