I started ice-skating when I was about 12 or 13 and I was selected in the Australian team for ice hockey. I met my wife at St Moritz Ice Skating about 1955.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a kid. I had traveled the world by the time I was 13 years old because of all the competitions I did for inline skating.
I skated in ice shows all over Europe and South Africa for 20 years. I love to ice skate.
Even in Canada, I never even played ice hockey. I never skated in my life; I always did rollerblade street hockey.
I started skating because I loved it. I started when I was three and I didn't know all the sacrifices and all the hardships and how difficult day-in and day-out it would be.
There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time.
As soon as I was introduced to ice speed skating, I was instantly hooked. I never thought about pursuing skating professionally; I just enjoyed doing it.
I actually have an ice-skating background. I skated until I was 15, for about eight years. It was hardcore skating for about eight hours a day.
I started skating when I was six years old.
I grew up in Wisconsin loving hockey. I mean, I started when I was three years old on skates.
Being surrounded by hockey, I got forced into it as a kid. I started skating when I was 4 and had a rink only 10 minutes from my home. In my town, we had one outdoor rink and one indoor rink, so you could skate all year long. I lived by a lake, too, so we did a lot of skating on the lake.
