What is the right way to lace up my skates?

Do not make tight, extra wraps of the lace around the lower leg. Your laces should resemble a “V”, closer and tighter at bottom, slighter looser towards the top. If your ankles can move sideways in your skates, they are not properly laced. If the laces are extra long, then re-lace around the hooks from the top down before you tie them.

Hockey skates can take some time to get laced properly, but will perform much better if they are adequately tightened. Putting the time in while you are lacing will pay off once you are on the ice.
