Edging: the bottom of the skating blade is not at, it is curved, the total area in contact with the ice is smaller than a dime, ideal angle. 45 degree angle help propel the skater forward. Foot is also at a 45 degree angle from the direction we want to go. Turning using the outside edges of the skate. Keeping feet about one skate within the circle of the centre of gravity. All players strive to have this shape between their knees. Helps getting optimal thrust or power when propelling oneself forward. Quads push perpendicular to our door into the ice.
