I really love this videos, and as a hockey player I'm glad they exist. Great coaching, great video quality and vibe. I like how the videos are long enough to teach everything thoroughly.
I had been just turning without the quick crossovers on exit and after watching this video and trying it out, I realize I was almost stopped at the end of the turn before. Practicing the quick crossovers really helped increase the speed once I got around. Very useful, thanks!
I struggle with tight turns as I always find I’m making a much wider arc than I want when turning, and when I try to tighten it I find my inside leg loses stability. Adding the heel plant and lifting to toe inside the boot seems to make a big difference for me. Thanks
I know this is 3 years later, but what really helped me with losing stability on my inside leg is try bringing your butt closer to the floor so that more weight is placed onto that leg
I attended a western hockey league camp and they didn't like the arm crossing on the inside turn because you can't make a pass until you uncross your arms. They suggested keeping the top hand on or near the hip instead. What do you think?
My coach said the same thing, and he added that it’s just more difficult if you meet an opponent and need to change your plans as your arms are all twisted up.
Coach said the same thing. But if I’m gonna be honest with you, it’s situational. Crossing your arms allows you to turn tighter, and is much better for tight tight punch turns. The hand on hip will always be wider since you have turn to where the puck will go and the hand on hip limits that mobility
@@codyliu8330 Honestly, I have found the same thing. If turning the arms means I keep the puck in this moment, then I will do it if I have to and worry about the passing when I cross that bridge.... I do try to keep the hand on the hip though as much as possible.
Just goal suck at the blue line, wait for a teammate to dig it out, and they'll head you the puck. No turning required. Worked for Gretzky like 600 times. And Brian McDougall on my Bantam team. Still pissed at him. For guys that actually go into the corners, great technique video!
How would you make a pass or move with the puck out of a tight turn if your hands are crossed? I’ve always learned that you don’t want to cross your arms.
I’m a really skilled player play AAA but find myself to sometimes when the play transitions I sharp turn left and I feel my blade lose its bite sometimes just working my edges I do sharp turns and I go hard on my left side and slide out, any way to fix that with foot placement?
Making the X while your tight turning is bad if you have the puck and make an X either your gonna get hit or you can’t make a play because your hands are not in position
I don’t think I’ve seen an NHL tight turn on the very heel of his inside edge blade before……… sure during a penalty shot maybe once close to goalie…… but not cycling in the corners
@@HerezCheez well lets say your in the offensive zone and bottom circle with a player on you and you make a sharp turn towards the board. Now how are you supposed to take a quick release shot off or protect the puck, any little hit on your stick would make the puck go flying. I play Midget AAA for my city (Montreal Canada) and I got taught this a while back from a reknown skating coach of my area and just made it a habit to not cross my hands. Look at any NHL player, as far as I know, I haven’t seen them crossing there hands on a sharp turn.
@@gabrieldesmarais7390 I agree you don't cross your hands. I think he explained it badly in the beginning, but demonstrated better. This guy made a great instructional video. Everyone keeps talking about him crossing his hands, but they actually never really cross in his demonstrations. I don't like his hands at the end of the turn, but he just brings them both to the outside which he should during the turn. If we are going to get technical about puck carrying, lets talk about his stick not being on the ice. I get what coaches are talking about, as a coach myself. You watch kids actually cross their hands and I think you will understand. I have seen kids with sticks completely behind them before they have started the turn. I want you all to try an actual tight turn as fast as he is with your stick not similar to his. If his right hand is more inside the puck will slide off his stick mid turn. If the hands aren't outside then you aren't practicing puck protection. I do this for a living everyday and see what works with pucks. I like his form. All joking aside, I would love to see your form if it works. I am not against trying something new.
Like John said, he never fully crossed his hands. The demo was simply exaggerating the movement. Placing your hand on your hip is good in some situations and bad in some. Doesn’t matter how you want to argue it, the hand on hip with no “crossing” whatsoever will limit mobility and the tightness of the turn. The “x”, is really just bringing the hand inside the hip to allow you to turn your upper body more, eliminating any natural inertia and get the puck tighter to where you need to go. Extremely useful in escape moves along the boards. Also, if you have noticed, his hands naturally uncross during the peak or just a little afterward of his turn. I’m assuming when you do a tight escape move, you’re not passing midway thru since your turning into the boards. If your hand don’t straighten out after the peak of your turn, that means your forcefully crossing your hand and not going with the natural path of the turn.
This makes me wanna get on the ice so bad right now lol missing it

These are fantastic videos, and he is able to break down every motion to its core components very clearly and concisely.

That ice looks so perfect- just wanna get out there and rip some backward crossovers!
My heart's bleeding when I'm looking at this water on the ice
Yeah man
POW
Protect

Warm weather sucks 🫤

fuckin McDougall
"go where the puck will be"....
Классно показал и рассказал Sean Walker!
Your ice looks soooo nice
Смотрю видео автора и мозг не понимает как он это делает. Великий мастер!
Your teachings are very useful!
Please try the 5th variation:
"Tight turn with XCBlade"
That ice. 🤩😍😱
Really informative, thanks for sharing!
whats the weight distribution between front and back leg?
amazing as always. thanks
Thanks man, youre awesome 🤙
I thought the tight turns were done on your toes. Gonna have to try those heely sharp turns
how is weight distributed between legs? Should I put more weight to inside leg?
All fun and games until I try it with a puck. 😃Thanks Sean!
How would you make a pass or move with the puck out of a tight turn if your hands are crossed? I’ve always learned that you don’t want to cross your arms.
when your blade gets stuck during a tight turn from previous cuts 6:03
and his smooth recovery
Hey coach, what profile do you use on your skates?
How do you distribute your body weight in order to get on yr outside edge to begin with?? What are the best drills to practice this?
T and L stop, outer edge. It takes a bit of getting used to
th-cam.com/video/-hP1qLvrsPo/w-d-xo.html
Is the ankle inversion exaggerated as a teaching point or should you actually Invert your ankle that much when utilizing your outside edge?
Great hockey coaching video!😃
Большой мастер!
For those tight turns and speed. Are his skates rocker? Are his skates radius 1/2 or 5/8 ? For sharpening. What is recommended?
These things are all a matter of preference, so just figure out what you like.
Would it work with tendy skates
I’m a really skilled player play AAA but find myself to sometimes when the play transitions I sharp turn left and I feel my blade lose its bite sometimes just working my edges I do sharp turns and I go hard on my left side and slide out, any way to fix that with foot placement?
How wet does this guy like his ice?
I don't know but i have never seen turn on the heel in professional hockey such WC NHL a so on. Nobody does that. Apart from that good video
What stick is that
why would you dig your heel in rather than doing a stop with that foot?
I feel like I’m digging in so much that I come out of my turn with no speed. Does anyone have tips
uhhhhhhhhh no
Make sure you get a lot of power on the first crossover when you exit the turn
500 squats per day
That ice tho ⛸️
Come to Florida and teach me lol
Making the X while your tight turning is bad if you have the puck and make an X either your gonna get hit or you can’t make a play because your hands are not in position
2:26 バックサイドスティック動き
4:27 ターンお手本
8:02 すとっぷからのたーんきりかえし
I like
yooooooo but look at the ice tho!!!! MUST BE NICE TO SKATE ON IT
I don’t think I’ve seen an NHL tight turn on the very heel of his inside edge blade before……… sure during a penalty shot maybe once close to goalie…… but not cycling in the corners
for me
3:10
👍 👍 👍!!!
😀
Second episode on turn turn no need to bend leading leg 🦵. Better to keep straight
That ice is confusing
Help
Ok kids never ever cross your arms while tight turning it’s a recipe for disaster trust me
Gonzalez Maria Wilson Anna Young Melissa
Why on earth would you cross your hands on the forehand🤦♂️🤦♂️
when? whats wrong with that?

Ни о чём, дружище.
Very good instructions! But you need to calm down your way of talking in the video.
Canadiens can't play hockey! Hope I won't be blocked by youtube :-)))))))))
Canadians invented hockey… ur welcome
