I agree. I was very glad to hear that he is considering coaching. I think he'd be good at this. He's an artist, and at times fans were frustrated with his responses to things, but this comes with the territory. Creative people tend to be sensitive and feel things very deeply. I think both those qualities will make him an excellent coach.Kevin wrote: Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:31 am That first interview was great. It really shows how Patrick brought the old school back into the present and really showed the value of great actual SKATING, which seems to be lost today. I didn't realize Lori Nichol was a student of Don Laws as well, but that makes a lot of sense to me now.
I see that Patrick now has earned his coaching credentials, so I hope that he can continue to share the knowledge that he gained from those past guru's with our future generations.

Get someone out there who can still SKATE with line, flow, and power to show them all how it's done.Kevin wrote: Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:31 am He's an artist, and at times fans were frustrated with his responses to things, but this comes with the territory.
