I ' m always a day late posting and today is not exception . Had an off - ice practice were we concentrated on jumping and balance . We started off jumping rope wherein I came to the realization that I can not jump rope . I can not jump rope on two feet , I can not jump rope alternating feet , and I most certainly can not jump rope on one foot .

Question: Why are they learning to jump rope ?
Answer: None of the above choices .It was a test to see if they could jump rope .They have to learn to jump on the ice so they are practicing with a rope .They were wanting to play before they got on the ice .
