    Never was a center, played wing my whole life until a buddy of mine kept asking me to take face offs during a game. Always come back to this video after I lose a few. Even wingers need practice with face offs, you just never know. Thanks for the great tips, Jeremy!

    I always watch the puck coming out of the refs hand and react immediately. I see a lot of people just stare at the dot waiting for the puck to hit it. You're too late if you are reacting when the puck is hitting the ice.

    Love the videos man, I just switched to center because no one else likes to play it but I love it, so much more freedom on the ice and you're the "go to" guy. I read your article on your main website and can't thank you enough Jeremy, I'm still working on my faceoffs but you've helped point me in the right direction. The transition I've made from last year has gotten my coaches attention and he likes throwing me out there in key moments, so thanks again and keep it going :)

  • @howtohockeytraining
    @howtohockeytraining  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jdilla21 If you are going high you from a distance you need to roll your wrists over more to keep the toe of the blade pointed down, you should also follow through lower. If you follow through high it goes high, follow through low it goes low. Rolling the wrists helps keep the puck down.

  • @mikeglutek3903
    @mikeglutek3903 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I played a lot of hockey in my younger years, and was quite good at winning faceoffs. I liked a lot of the techniques you have shown. Maybe you are just assuming everyone knows this, but there is something you have not shown and I think is the most important thing in winning faceoffs. The first lesson I ever learned in taking faceoffs is to always keep your eye on the puck in the referees hand. Every ref will drop the puck differently and with different speed. If your not watching the puck and just watching the ice, all you're doing is guessing when the puck is coming down. Watch the puck and your winning % will improve with it.

    No the puck has to touch the ice first before you can touch it. After the puck touches the ice you can win it however you want. You can even win it with your hand if you are in your own end (defensive zone), but not in the offensive zone.
