The article is focused on the topic of forward skating in Ice Hockey. The main attention is paid on enlarging information in the field of influence of kinematic parameters to speed skating. The objective of the study was to compare forward skating efficiency in between high calibre skaters and low calibre skaters. We chose 8 fastest and 8 slowest skaters from the group of 40 in age of 12 years old. We took a video of each skater on the skating treadmill and used video analyse software to measure their efficiency of ten skating strides. Average time of 10 skating cycles was 15,83s at the group with the fastest skaters and 13,00s at the group of slowest skaters. In conclusion, faster skaters have greater effectivity of skating stride than slower skaters and they also could skate longer distance than slower skaters at the same speed on the treadmill.
