Good point man, thanks. Getting lazy with the release

Thanks bro. Couldn't agree more

Thanks for the breakdown bro. I'm mostly working on my release here over accuracy, but I'm going to take this to heart since I missed the net by a couple feet last night hahah

I have considered and tried it! I plan to again but at the time it felt too whippy on faceoffs and in the corners. I really should hit the gym and I could get more out of the stick. Something to think about though, thanks

@@ddropkick The key is strength for sure for stiffer flexes, especially core. I had a buddy I played AAA and Juniors with that ended up playing at the D1 level that used 50 flex at 5'10 180. Don't be afraid to go down. There are some adjustments, like you pointed out, but it works fine! Takes lots of reps to change over though.

@@chadlevitan7886 No way, 50 flex at 180 is nuts. I'm definitely going to give it a shot, hopefully this season coming up and I'll be sure to upload some shots for comparison!

@@ddropkick I wouldn't go that extreme, he was an outlier for sure. Would probably require an almost complete overhaul of technique. He kind of just picked the puck up rather than using the ice. But 65 is reasonable. When you cut it down it's more in the 70-75 range. I stuck with that throughout Juniors/NCAA D3.

@@chadlevitan7886 interesting. I’m using 77 now so 65 is what I’d go with. Exactly what you said, after the cut it would be more like 70-7 Thanks bro!

Hahah thanks for checking in! For a while I was able to manage my schedule at work but I haven't been able to for a while. Just uploading some stuff from a few months ago. It's really tough in general though! The kids get the best ice times and not much is left for stick and puck No rebounders that I have seen. There might be some obstacles that I have seen being stored off the ice but I don't know if we are allowed to use them on our own. Rebounders would be awesome!

Thansk bro! Appreciate the kind words

I get lucky every so often! There are a lot of sessions that are full or with enough people that I don't record anything

@@ddropkick Ah yeah, I feel that. The last few ones I went to where I live had about 8 high school kids with a coach taking up an entire offensive zone and then some kids shooting on a goalie on the other end leaving only half of an already smaller than standard neutral zone for skating

@@aaronwhite1786 that’s brutal! They should have an employee making sure people don’t monopolize the ice!

Thanks man! I wanna rip them even harder. I feel like I have it in me

Appreciate it bro

Thanks bro!

If that, even! Lol

Just hit 30 my guy

@@NATEPAW239 the best! Nothing better than having almost an entire sheet of ice to yourself. A goalie would be nice though lol

@@ddropkick being the only one as a goalie at stick and puck must suck

@@obamafan6949 haha I couldn’t say myself.. I thought it would be nice taking lots of shots but I guess it could get boring for the tendy…

@@NATEPAW239 hahah thanks brother 🙏 I’m still working on the celly. Cleaning it up a bit haha

Great its working for me today! Thanks for the comment

Thanks bro!

Thanks bro

19+ C1 !

What team

Thanks bro!

@@ddropkick np

Hey bro thanks for the comment! I’ll have to go exploring the rink to see if they are hiding some! The secret is early morning weekdays :) sometime I get lucky but most the times there is at least 3-4 other people

@@ddropkick That's awesome! All of the stick and puck sessions around here are at lunch, which is a bit of a pain in the ass, even working from home. It's tough to get 30 minutes for the round trip drive, 20 minutes to change into and out of the gear, and then an hour to skate. I'd love to have some early morning sessions here. I've been settling for just hitting up the figure skating freestyle sessions with some knee pads to work on skating. Something's better than nothing.

@@aaronwhite1786 it’s true the time does add up quite a bit.. also need to shower haha only way to save time is to wear only skates, gloves and a helmet but I prefer full gear That’s interesting! Definitely better than nothing. Good on you for doing what you can to train!

@@ddropkick Ha, one of the lucky parts of working from home at least is that I can work at my desk covered in sweat from hockey and just shower after work. I'll just feel like a caveman for a few hours. I keep hoping someday one of the 3 rinks around me will start a morning stick and puck. I'll have to keep hoping and waiting. At least one positive side is that without a stick in my hands and pucks to shoot I'm pretty much forced to work on skating alone, which is by far my biggest weak point.

@@aaronwhite1786 hey that’s perfect! Fingers crossed man. Until then keep working on skating when you can! Gotta do whatever you can if you want to improve right

Thank you! Not usually but lately another teammate and I have tried a few short rounds with maybe 5% power with bare shins. Feels a lot different! I'll definitely be trying it some more

@@ddropkick It's much different, but makes one less reckless, especially with kicks...we spar without shin guards Monday's and Saturday's at the Muay Thai gym I train at in Seattle, with no more than 50% to the head, body and legs are open to harder strikes...at the risk of one's shins, haha. Be well!🙏🏻

@@IRELANDISFORTHEIRISH that’s for sure! Have to pick your shot much more wisely. Thats awesome! Keep training hard 🙏

Thanks buddy!

I'm definitely lucky to have such great teammates!

Thanks for the tip buddy! Getting lower seems to solve a lot of probems when skating

Thanks bro! I'll give that a shot :)

Busted...

Thanks man! Appreciate it

That’s too bad man! I got lucky at this stick and puck / drop in. Most days there are at least a few other players

a few. Here there are 10000 people@@ddropkick

thats cuz hes aiming the top of the net, its useless to shoot in the middle as any goalie could very easily stop the puck

As @nicreborn said I’m not aiming for the middle! You’re right though, I should hit the net more which is why I am practicing 😉

Congratulations...you've just discovered the point of...practice. Which is what they are doing...

Thanks bud!
