Shawn Mendes reveals in interview he has great ice-skating skills

Canadian sensation Shawn Mendes has revealed that he is a great ice-skater, but never got into playing hockey because he couldn't control the puck. 

During a recent interview with Bar Down, the heartthrob was asked if he was big on sports and he confessed that skating is something he is very good at, but unfortunately his skills didn't transfer over to ice hockey: "I played hockey for a couple years and I was super bad."

"I actually was a good skater, I was a really good skater cause my dad would take me skating Mondays and Wednesdays, but I was just still new so I couldn't really get puck control properly."

As previously reported, Mendes also opened up about his music video for 'Stitches' and joked that he's no stranger to getting into fights as he was a "scrappy" kid: "Believe it or not actually, I actually was in loads (of fights) when I was in elementary school. Someone used to say to me, "why do you like, why do you put yourself into the problems," because I always found when I saw kids getting bullied on I would always step in, but then I would feel bad (laughs), but yeah I was definitely in more than 5 or 10 tussles. No, nothing as bad as it was in that video ('Stitches'), I really got beat up in that video (laughs)."
