Ugh, and to think in hockey kids are taught to NOT circle around in hockey, but to hit the brakes and hustle instead. As a coach, if I caught my kids circling around, they'd be in trouble for being lazy.

Controlling momentum is definitely key. Article has a number of good points. Gliding, or only pushing the stick half-way maintains more control and agility. Haven't tried tweaking this yet, but I wonder how much effect the skate radius has on control, since i'm mostly playing EASHL drop-ins atm.
