OMG, just that one tip to go on your toes is the one thing I’ve been missing (I’ve only just discovered Hockey for myself at 42 and am learning-by-doing in a beer league).
If you can skate you are half way there, never too late to start. Hey even Bill Burr plays “pick up” hockey. A few of the guys at various sessions I’ve played at and currently play at have people in their 60’s playing who might not have speed on their skates, but they have poise and great stick handling and vision for passes that break out of defence or into the offensive zones. If you can afford it, give it a try. I think you will easily transition to hockey if you have the hockey mentality and buy the kit.
The kids that are fully invested in hockey and will end up really good beer league players and the ones that like hockey but don’t want to be on the ice 6 days a week.
Great video, very interesting. But maybe you guys should watch speedskaters too, I think it is about bending the ankle and keeping it bend during the push. Instead of extending the ankle in the push.(like when running) I did an instruction video on that for speedskaters. Nr. 1 has english subtitles now.
You know, Ray Ferarro once remarked on a hockey broadcast, "that reminds me of something we used to say back in Trail. You can't teach fast and you can't fix stupid." Nice to see someone trying to prove that wrong. Well, half of it, anyway.
I feel like from my own life experience... a lot of times kids cant learn technique like this toes one because they just aren’t able physically- the one kid who can I would be curious what he does off ice, as in stretches / exercises etc - you know what you need to do but just can’t sometimes
Yeah. It's all well and good saying "get on your toes" but if you don't tell them HOW they can get up there then it's a bit useless. Requires a lot of balance and ankle strength/mobility.
I agree with this, and the other attached comment. The number of times this coach blows his whistle right after he's just told them, "goh!" simply to stop them after one line goes and says "hey.." drives me nuts. Give the kids a chance to try. Explain how to be on your toes better. Also that comment about stabbing a guy? Odd
@@RichardTurlington also agree, it takes almost a minute for him to say 'Aiden' .. 'watch Aidens feet' and then Aiden shows how good he can do the cross overs exercise on his toes, the coach, at the start of the video just goes straight into the exercise withought any clear coaching ...... hmm
I wish I did ice hockey as a kid. I did roller hockey from 11years old so there was some difference in learning how to skate the most notable being stopping. This drill would have been nicer for me on ice than it was on roller, less slide on a plastic sports court for something this short of a distance.
I forgot to reduce the speed of my video. (I normally watch at 1.5x) This video is hilarious at that speed! I love the instruction, though. I'll be giving it a try in the near future.
Not trying to sounds condescending but this doesn't work on becoming a faster skater. This just works on quick feet. Maybe your acceleration from the side... #1 thing to improve on to be faster at skating is your form in stride. Most people don't get enough contact surface with their stride (small steps) but everyone is different...
Don't necessarily listen to this video this is not about how to do a crossovers that's for sure you'll never get anywhere if you stay on your toes that long two three steps and you're into a full stride
I want to be first woman on the NHL and I figured out that I just have to do everything I'm doing right now but a lot better so I was thinking that I just watched a couple videos on how to get really fast I'm already pretty fast not trying to brag but I just want to learn how to be faster and compete with me I will devour you
I would kill for my coach to teach at this quality and do drills like this. I do a power skating program, and the drills for girls are less effective and important than the ones for boys. They do balance, quick feet drills, shooting drills, recovery one, and actually get pushed.
Not sure if you reply but I've been struggling to have energy recently. I had a tournament about a week ago and ever since then I've just been tired feeling. My game has dropped a lot and I'm playing worse than ever. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
I do an 8oz of red bull (lite, sugar is not needed in my case) right before a skate and it tends to help. I'll even do one before a late game and just skate as hard as I can every shift to burn it off. I do need to get to sleep, eventually. Also, stay hydrated!!
You're better off learning how to perfect your stride and balance before you waste your time doing this if you can't take a good forward stride so many kids are up for it some don't appear to be
@@mikhailbalan7072 В нашем годе(2015 г.р), тренер не плохой. Прошлой зимой к нам приезжали из детской академии СКА, и они были в восторге от наших тренировок. Но так как показывает и рассказывает этот (кажется) канадец, нашим ребятам никто не показывает, и тем более не рассказывает...
need u as my coach lol, i suck and im 15, trying to get better, I cant keep up with other players, I'm so slow :(, I suck as well, I just have good hockey IQ, my shot isn't bad, but pretty bad XD, I am a playmaker for sure, decent passing, again horrible skating.
sadly hockey coaches do not have the proper skating background...hes seems like a great coach but what he teaches is wrong. you get grip from the edges of the full blade not the toes, the more blade on the ice the more weight and power you can transfer on the ice. thats why speedskater have long blades (more glide and more pressure on the ice). although hes right about skating on the same plane (sideways) kids need not to jump up while doing cross over they lose the pressure (power) they just put on the ice, you need indeed to move the knees quick but bent towards the direction you're going not up (like jumping farther to the side, not up). been coaching both hockey and short track speed skating for years now, all the players who come dab into speed skating end up being the fastest of their league because they're taught how to properly do weight transfer and effective crossovers skating nowadays make a whole difference in the NHL, top players are also great skaters think of mcdavid, makar, mackinnon, kaprizov etc.
This actually sounds very correct in terms of being quick on your edges, but what I feel this drill does is primarily improve just the quickness of your feet on the ice, no?
Good instructions, but the guys need to train this and the trainer stopped them after few seconds. Let them train and do not stop the guys. Otherwise you have zero result. Guys need practise
Seems to be more about the “coach” spewing. Put the whistle away and let the kids work it out for a couple reps. And…don’t mention stabbing with skates to kids, just weird.
I’ve really come to the conclusion that figure skating ⛸ could help hockey players with speed & agility… I’ve heard that some pro teams employ figure coaches for some part in skills development…or maybe that’s just an urban legend? 😂
I’m damn near 40 and these vids have improved my beer league skills dramatically. See you at the show, boys
Im over 40 and this something to teach..... well im not just pro
See you up there buddy
Yeah, i bet you can drink way more beer now.
Я не пью, но лига походу та же 😂
I'll have to try next practice, don't think I'll even be able to do it :D
This is actually so helpful
I’m 15 and i haven’t started hockey school yet but i learned how to skate backwards by myself. First training lesson on Thursday, wish me luck lmao
how was it
@@bctterfliesI came here to ask the same
This coach is the best I have seen. He has really broken down hockey skills and what the best way is.
This guy is a great instructor! I’m digging these videos.
Agree. Best fundamentals teacher I have found on YT so far.
He's very technical which is key to development
Learning hockey eh?
I’m learning teaching methods, trying to help my kid.
He is just to annoying! You dont need a whistle to be a good coach!
What a gem of a video. The foundation exists figuratively and literally within your lower body and core. Thank you!
I like how you're very strict but fair, as a kid I would've thrived under such influence
I wish I had a coach like this when I was playing hockey.

Valuable instruction for young hockey players to learn. Very good instructor
not only for the young ones :)
OMG, just that one tip to go on your toes is the one thing I’ve been missing (I’ve only just discovered Hockey for myself at 42 and am learning-by-doing in a beer league).
Did you know how to skate prior to joining a beer league?
Born in Holland and learnt to skate there. Grew up in Australia and lived for a bit in Toronto.
Wish I had grown up playing hockey
If you can skate you are half way there, never too late to start. Hey even Bill Burr plays “pick up” hockey. A few of the guys at various sessions I’ve played at and currently play at have people in their 60’s playing who might not have speed on their skates, but they have poise and great stick handling and vision for passes that break out of defence or into the offensive zones.

I think you will easily transition to hockey if you have the hockey mentality and buy the kit.
Gettin into pick up leagues at 30 years old. Seems late but I’m already top of my team. Just go for it bro.
I wish I could send my kid to his camp. We watch all his videos. We live in Texas and I’ve never seen a camp here. It’s killin me !!!
This drill requires great strength and balance. These young boys will get it but it will take time.
My thoughts on this too. They are still not strong enough in their legs to fully get this drill correct
i love these specifically beccause you can see exactly which kids care about becoming better and the ones that genuinely dont give a crap
The kids that are fully invested in hockey and will end up really good beer league players and the ones that like hockey but don’t want to be on the ice 6 days a week.
@@deanmalkewich2366 effort and engagement is a universal skill.
im a grown ass man and im watching this. and i really appreciate this. perfect for my beer league
Awesome!
I feel you brother!
Ppl used talk shit on how I skated then I see a video where this dude is teaching kids how to skate like this is wiiiild to see.
@1:55
"Imagine that if we had that in hockey? You stab a guy with the... uhm. So, you're on your toes!"
😄

I did this drill to help get to the beer cooler faster after my games.

Fantastic Coach
The kid in dark blue is a great skater
Get skates that fir, keep them loose without over tightening. Think fast and always keep your feet moving. Determination is the all important factor.
God how I hated those drills when I was a kid!

This drill would have been nicer for me on ice than it was on roller, less slide on a plastic sports court for something this short of a distance.
I just learnt how to skate, and I want to try and beat my friends in a race (cant do crossovers yet) and this definitely helped.
Great instructor...
Spot on! Great coaching!
I forgot to reduce the speed of my video. (I normally watch at 1.5x) This video is hilarious at that speed!
I love the instruction, though. I'll be giving it a try in the near future.
Even funnier at 2x speed 😉🤭😆
Interesting like his coaching technique’s this guy is good! 💚💚💚🇨🇦
Gotta love him fr
What great coaching. Nice
Thanks coach. 🙏🏼
Good effort! Way to go coach.
Thank you!
You should come out and do a development camp in Vancouver!
yes, come to the west. There are huge market here
thank you
Super job
this guy is good
These are great. I can wait until my baby boy is old enough to play hockey
Not trying to sounds condescending but this doesn't work on becoming a faster skater. This just works on quick feet. Maybe your acceleration from the side...
#1 thing to improve on to be faster at skating is your form in stride. Most people don't get enough contact surface with their stride (small steps) but everyone is different...
Goooh! Love this guy!
Great vids for hockey tonight
I love these vids
i'm 50 and just realized i've been crossing over wrong since i was 7 lol
Don't necessarily listen to this video this is not about how to do a crossovers that's for sure you'll never get anywhere if you stay on your toes that long two three steps and you're into a full stride
love the vids, but cant stop hearing a canadian version of Keegan-Michael Key
Valuable instructions for anyone trying to improve their skating game
good boy aiden!
Good coach
If he yelled at me like that I just might cry ;)
If I were you I'd stick to figure skating then.
so awesome, 47 and just started skating again... and hear I am... lol
I am goalie. Dancing, pushing, and power have to be in my toes. Can you imagine they allow goalies to have toe picks?
Simply experience
aidan definitely coaches favorite
No favourites but I find it useful to highlight a good player's technique.
wow that kid in blue can skate!
Quality A++
I may have to try these skating moves on my rollerblades 🤔
Way harder to do on rollerblades.
Woooow. I’ve never had a lesson on skating and in 5 minutes my whole perspective is different
It's these super unorthodox drills that make the best skaters. The muscles that get used are all new.
Peterborough area
I want to be first woman on the NHL and I figured out that I just have to do everything I'm doing right now but a lot better so I was thinking that I just watched a couple videos on how to get really fast I'm already pretty fast not trying to brag but I just want to learn how to be faster and compete with me I will devour you
GOH!
How the heck do you get to this camp?
I would kill for my coach to teach at this quality and do drills like this. I do a power skating program, and the drills for girls are less effective and important than the ones for boys. They do balance, quick feet drills, shooting drills, recovery one, and actually get pushed.
sick
That stab comment tho! 😂
For what this exercise?
Not sure if you reply but I've been struggling to have energy recently. I had a tournament about a week ago and ever since then I've just been tired feeling. My game has dropped a lot and I'm playing worse than ever. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

burnout and overtraining. take a break and go easy on yourself. find other hobbies and interests, find balance.
Have you recently been "medicated"? Just curious. I am noticing this with some of the youth players lately.
But also what James said. Burnout is such a huge factor and devastating to many players.
There is zero substitute for good sleep and sufficient recovery, physically and mentally
This coach have a great skills! He can play a good league! This kids get a good hockey education. Maybe they can play NHL🏆
Why does this place look so familiar
The crowd keeps getting bigger
Getting on my toes make my feet hurt
Вот такого тренера в Бурятию.
You're better off learning how to perfect your stride and balance before you waste your time doing this if you can't take a good forward stride so many kids are up for it some don't appear to be

Guh!
He looks like the LetterKenney referee....
He looks like Jared Leto, even sounds like him a bit, teaching them the Shorsey Shuffle.
No one in the league does this
Lmaoo
Gooaaa
Yeah the toes are the important part so you glide instead of chopping the ice instead 😂

You know those spikes figure skaters have on the toe of they're skate, we'll imagine we had those in hockey, stab your opponent! 🤣😂

This guy must have military background
So many kids cheat all the time on these drills if they're too slow at it. Sadly it just ends up hurting their own development.
Good instructions, but the guys need to train this and the trainer stopped them after few seconds. Let them train and do not stop the guys. Otherwise you have zero result. Guys need practise
"You stab a guy with it"
