These kids might just skate as good as, or even better, than today’s best NHL stars.
These small children in Russia can rival today’s NHL stars with their skating skills
Twirls, jumps, and so much speed.


In an Instagram video taken by alex_antropov, then popularized today by the NHL on NBC Twitter, a collection of 8- and 9-year-old kids in Russia are put through some creative drills.
And guys, do these kids ever FLY.

Props to the editing work for that epic 90s action movie music in the background. But this video is made by the kids’ amazing skate work, from jumping over sticks to limboing under them, all the while incorporating mid-air twirls.
They would certainly skate circles around me, a very uncoordinated human when given a pair of ice skates. Talk about skill.
