Get some custom True skates. Problem solved.

That IS kind of short.

Hello

it is a useless movement which serves no purpose in the practice of hockey. a half turn followed by a forward skating..?. U-turns are used to move from front split to backward skating and not to change direction

Ahh ice hockey, the sport with endless amounts of skill that takes a lifetime to master.

Excellent video demonstration.

Wow i love that rink! That natural sunlight coming in must give a nice feeling while being out there. Where is this?

What a AWESOME technique. Incorporating this into a deke on a 1 on 1 could be effective. It's Hella fun watching the instructor show it off

Awesome

Thanks for all those camps you ran back in the day! I remember jumping off ramps, learning to stay low, I learned a lot those summers

He had a guy wide open at the bottom of the circle. Oh well. nice spin move.

Instructor sure can hold an edge, nice work. Seeing the players try to do it shows the skill it takes, some of em are getting it though.

Totally agree with this vid. 200+ pound pros & elite amateurs, on ice 2-4 hours daily need heavily built skates, but not kids and mediocre (non elite) players. Don’t even get me started on young ladies needing flexible boots in stead of Easton cinder blocks. My solution to skate stiffness was 2 laces in each skate. A lower lace for the top of foot, drawn tight to lock the foot into the footbed and then another lace (top 3 or 4 eyelets), moderately to loosely tied, allowing full, deep ankle bend. It certainly suited a deep knee bend, highly agile skater like me. I did this with Bauer “number” series (100, 200, 1000, etc) and with Graf 704’s. My Graf 707’s didn’t need it.

I agree with what they say to a degree. newer players and skaters are just starting in skates that are just too high end for them and sales people aren't helping them truly get fitted. A newer skater in particular needs that boot flex to start learning the fundamentals and build confidence, strength and technique. Once they are more experienced and have built more power a soft boot starts to work against you and you will become tired faster and you will waste power and energy. Experience and build should be the biggest determining factor in how much you spend on skates. Obviously a 230lb guy should not be skating in a super soft $100 pair, he'll just crease them while at the same time if that 230lb guy has little to no experience he should not be in $900+ super stiff skates.

Great breakdown in this video. Hope young skaters are able to understand and learn from this. Youth coaches should be teaching this.

I agree 100%. Lacing one less eyelet makes a huge difference in skating. Especially if you dont have long legs. If you have shorter legs and lace up top eyelets, the skate goes up to high on your shin preventing forward flexion and agility

So effective! Wish it was taught more at the youth level.

Or just don't tie the top hole.

These guys are the clowns with saws. One needs to be Sidney Crosby in order to pull proper snapshot with a stick with length "just below the chin" (let alone the stick "at the collar bone"). And even Sid moved with the time from the short sticks to some more longer twigs (not much, may be an inch, but nevertheless).

Bro is flying

Nice work Jamoe!!

Nice

analysis is way off. Have a look at the analysis of Connor Mcdavid , his shoulders drop as well as his leg is elevated on recovery. one of the most critical thing is quick twitch recovery, how fast you recover to get enable the follow up stride. Connor doesnt even get that low as well as he is a wide tracker which is counter intuitive to how alot of powerskating coaches teach. Your welcome

This makes perfect sense. Which skates would one recommend as being the most flexible right now? Which is softest out of Bauer/CCM/True brands?

Epic, used to train like that when i was a kid. Respect!

Though true, there is so much that depends on style and what is comfy. One's equipment is paramount to his/her performance. Starting with the skates as it is the base....profiling etc.. As for the stickhandling - I have noticed that i keep my hand on the hip and when maneuvering I get it in the front. The channel is wonderful by the way.

Adams apple or bottom chin is the best size (on your skates)

This guy is fucking up the outdoor rink's ice. Rude.

Oldie but goodie

🙄

The days of using a short stick are over. With the new composite sticks, longer sticks are the norm. It allows for more leverage against the ice, resulting in flex which aids in propulsion of the puck. These days your stick will come up to somewhere between your chin and your eyebrows.

Nice breakdown!

Good stuff!

Every example that is displayed on this TH-cam channel can be performed by a 12-14yo with proper training. 😉

Awesome play by the best defenseman. Please show more examples a 12 - 14 y.o. could execute. Thank you

cheers geoff

Hi i am from South Africa. I have been skating for a year now and i am struggling with going backwards. Is there any easy way to turn backwards.

Even Gretzky use a short stick. He said he would chase the puck a lot, so even he wouldn’t use it just for stickhandling. Proving it has other benefits as well.🙏🏼👏👏

Poor Ovi gets schooled by LH! Hah

Very nice breakdown!

Nice breakdown dude.

Love it.

Love it.

Damn this guy is more excited and passionate than Tony Robbins.

Did you edit this clip on a Sony VHS tape player? 1970's Wide Word of Sports had better slow motion that this.

Great breakdown and explanation!

Top💥💥💥

why arent the manufactures listening

Nice video

Simple concept yet so many teams leave the NZ alone. From what I’ve seen anyway.
