I agree with you. In short, most people don't understand that skating is highly unnatural movement; it must be trained in delicate and perfection oriented manner, otherwise bad habits develop that are very difficult break once they become ingrained in neuromuscular memory of the body. Most skaters don't even know the physics behind skating and how skate blade works on the ice. That's why they fall for these gimmicks, not respecting physical laws. I use natural ways of training only.

@SASJKL If you wish to know more, click on my nick, give me more info and I might be able to pin point areas where you can do some corrective measures in case there is no diagnosis by your orthopedist. Hopefully, I will finish my book soon (with DVD training section included); there will be plenty of unorthodox but effective info there that might help not just to you but many others. There is not too much room here to be more specific.

@SASJKL (cont) can determine exactly what is wrong. I suspect your ligaments to have some injury, not being able to hold the knee together when under pressure. Unless you suffered some direct injury to your knee, the cause is usually too much stress without proper warm up. Ligaments then stretch, not being able to subtract back because they are not warm enough (cartilage tissue is always poorly circulated - stretching warms up the tissue so it is more flexible).

@SASJKL I will try to squeeze in as much as I can here. It would be irresponsible to judge that hockey alone or even partially might be the cause of your problem. Skating itself has actually therapeutic effect on knee post surgery rehabilitation if done with caution (explanation is more complex). Did you suffer from any injury? If not, have you been skated by Coach to overexhaustion (suicide drills, punitive sessions of skating). You need to have that checked by an experienced orthopedist who

@micanut48 so you're saying skating is an unnatural movement therefore can harm human's physiology? i gotta ask, i've been playing hockey since i was 8 and now i'm 16 and my left knee would occasionally, with no tell signs at all, dislocate/snap/twist in an excruciating pain. is that a product of long term skating? i really love hockey and i don't wanna stop.

The only thing Cornell players learn is how to clutch, grab, and dive.
