Jeremy The biggest problem I find with kids is that short stride that Scott mentioned. What would be the best way to teach the kids how to do this. Would it be just one stride at a time and make sure they extend all the way out with the toe flick and recovery? Good job Jeremy and Scott very helpful.
I find the reason most new players and young kids do this is because they do not have sufficient balance on one leg. They keep all their weight in the center and skate with a wide stance, right when they lift their push leg it falls to the ice again. They need to learn to glide on one leg. A simple drill is getting them to push with one leg, glide and hold it, make a full recovery, then push again with the other leg.
im learning so much from ur skateing lessons. but i was wonding if you could cover skate care. like how long can we go without sharpings? i just got my first pair of skates.
My son is just starting to play in the house league. I noticed his right skate is resting on the outside edge when skating. I do remind him to keep on the inside edges but it naturally goes outward when he's not mindful. Do you have any drills or exercises to recommend to correct this?
I would try ankle strengthening and stability exercises. Also have a look at that foot barefoot - some people's feet are different and his foot may supinate more than the other. In addition to the exercises, you can also get his skate adjusted where they add a layer between his boot and holder to level out his blade. It may cause some discomfort but he should adjust quickly.
I'm trying hockey for the first time with zero experience. Does attending open skates and getting some time on the ice without a stick help or harm your development as a hockey player?
The more time you spend on the ice the better. Try to turn time on the ice into quality time though, instead of just coasting around work on small things like balance, edge work, turning, stopping, etc.
+How To Hockey Is it okay to practise your skating at the rink and hockey skills at home? Because my local arena doesn't have a stick and puck or stick session
+MiningCharizardNew You don't have a choice! The decision seems to have been made for you. So just make the best of what you have! As Jeremy recommends, use the public skate time wisely to improve your stride, stopping precision and edge work. At home, use a ball and a stick, or if you want to get fancy, I suggest a metal, weighted puck and a sheet of HDPE. It's the closest thing I can find to simulate a rubber puck on ice. Tip: when practicing your puck handling at home, stomp your feet as if you are skating. That's where a lot of people fail to make the connection. You're always moving your feet when you stick handle, so you should be doing it when you practice on dry land as well!
Hey, I am 13 years old and this is about my third year playing hockey. I'm still in house league and am really disappointed. Do you have any tips for me? I am really upset with myself.
Only at top speeds. When accelerating your arms counter your legs. At top speeds your legs are going basically to the side, so for maximum speed your arms will follow the same patterns, that's why speed skaters do it. However hockey players don't usually skate in a straight line for more than a few strides, and also don't reach the speeds of speed skaters. Once you are comfortable skating your arms will follow a natural movement, but some beginners are swinging them all over the place which is why Scott mentions it in the video.
Did you actually watch this video before posting it to TH-cam? Did you not notice that you never actually demonstrated the stride at full speed? You can give all sorts of advice (good or bad) and none of it means a thing if we can't see how it's supposed to look in action.
Why on earth would you move your arms forward and back if you want your body momentum shifting from side to side. Like you aren't running. This really annoys me I see so many coaches teach this. Look at just about every NHL player and they move there arms side to side. Im 13 and this doesn't even make sense to me how could it make sense to you?
Shouts to the little kid creeping in the back
hahaha good find man.
The little kid in the background lol
awesome this is exactly how my coach two years ago taught me, and keep up the good work
The little kid in the back creeping hahahaha. Kind of like a paranormal activity thing going on
Awesome video. Watching this with my little guy after a day on the ice learning. 👍
Good job! It really helps me teaching to kids.
This is my power skating coach
Unrelated question but can you make a vid on how to clean your roll up shooting pad
can you do a video on how to have better vision and how to be smarter with the puck, mainly for defensemen
Hi Jeremy can you do a video on how to do tight turns or hockey turns?
There is a video on how to turn that should help

i sometimes slip because of the rough ice in our local skating sink and lack of power are there any tips on how to avoid this?
Don’t worry its the ice s falt
Make sure you sharpen your skates every 15 or so hours of using them.
Great vids, thanks guys!
Little kid is cracking me up

You dont want to keep your arms in. It generates more power if you swing your arm out
Only at top speeds. When accelerating your arms counter your legs. At top speeds your legs are going basically to the side, so for maximum speed your arms will follow the same patterns, that's why speed skaters do it.
However hockey players don't usually skate in a straight line for more than a few strides, and also don't reach the speeds of speed skaters.
