Initially, ice skates were a means of locomotion and hunting. The first rudimentary skates would have appeared in the peoples of northern Europe in the present Finland. The oldest pair of skates known to man is about 3000 years before Jesus Christ. It was said to have been found at the bottom of a lake in Swiss.
These skates had been made with leg bones of large animals, mainly reindeer, moose and snuff. Holes were drilled at each end and skin straps were used to attach them under the boots. The names used by the Dutch of time were "schenkel", which means leg and also "shaats", which means "bone of the leg". In fact, the English word "skating" would come from the Dutch word "schaats". Very rudimentary and of precarious stability, they required the use of a stick in order to maintain its balance.
Around the 14th century, the Dutch began to use wooden platform skates with a flat iron bottom, which they attached to their feet with leather straps. Around 1500, the Dutch added a narrow double-edged metal blade, which could be sharpened, faster and fastened by leather laces. The stick became a thing of the past. The skaters could now move with a single stroke of skate, using the dutch roll or "Dutch swing", a precursor of the push and slide technique, or "pulls and slides", or to slide without a push of sticks.
