You guys are just amazing, i wish we have so professional trainers here in Spain as u guys are!! Your tips and tricks are helping me improve a lot!! Thank u so so much!!!!
Honestly jer, as a beer leaguer who just started this year, after not playing organized hockey for over 10 years I was considering spending 300$+ for advanced skating lessons. but with your channel on TH-cam I have learnt a lot on proper technique and have gained much more confidence in my ability as a player who is pretty much new again. Thanks coach !
Jeremy (and Scott), Much thanks for posting this instructional video on transitions. I just started in an adult rookie hockey league and have been struggling with smooth transitions that don't slow me down. I am going to work on these techniques.
Sick videos, thanks so much for posting. Was born and raised in Edmonton Alberta during the golden years but my dad was a wuss and said hockey was too dangerous and never let me play...finally learning now as an adult.
Great videos. Thanks for the help, I've always had trouble with my transitioning. This explanation makes it a TON easier to understand. Also, here in LA, I wish we had out door hockey. The rink I go to are always crowded and not the best, but what I saw in this video, I will practice and hope not to crash into others. Thanks, keep the videos comming.
Great stuff, but there was no talk about edges. When going forward to backward using the 1-2-3, inside edge is key. This was best shown from 4:15 to 4:25. Look at it over and over and over again. Inside edge (1), inside edge again (2), inside edge again (3). For going forward to backward, I wish they would state and show which they emphasize because that is harder. They also make it un-necessarily complicated by always saying turn towards the puck. The idea is just to teach doing the transitions, and to emphasize both sides. Let the coach of the team tell you to always face the puck. It just became confusing at times because they kept switching sides. This is not bashing, just constructive critique. I definitely thumbs up all their videos, these guys are great.
Jeremy can you do a video on how much movement and flexibility you need in your skates/ankles? I see too many people with skates tied up super tight and cant lay their edges over.
Hi Jeremy, Thank you for content. It is extremely valuable for people wanting to improve their skating/hockey skills. I used to skate and getting back into it after a 16yr hiatus, thinking of getting into hockey once I have my technique down again. I was wondering if there is a preferred way of structuring skating technique training. What should I start with and what is the optimal sequence of progression?
This might be a silly question but does it matter which foot you start with and then transfer to - at the 1:40 mark - for advanced forwards to backwards transition? PS thanks so much for your help and these awesome videos!
Hey Jeremy, I have a different way of transitioning from forward to backward. It seems like I flip my feet at the same time, lifting my heels and putting my weight on my toes (not really putting pressure, just lifting my heels and flipping) Is this wrong? I don't seem to lose much speed if any at all and it seems fast, it just seems more like a figure skater transition. It works good for me, I just want to be a hockey player and don't want to look stupid doing something blatantly wrong. Thanks man
I've seen that type as well, it works but not in all situations as you commit completely to the transition. Doing the advanced one that we show keeps an edge on the ice at all times which allows you to adjust if you need to.
I know this is an old video, so this may not get an answer. I want to learn how to play ice hockey, and I’m just starting to learn how to skate. Should I start with a stick in my hand, or forget the stick until I know how to skate well and then add the stick into the equation?
My problem is that I cannot do that weird move at the start, where his feet are almost inline, heel to heel, hence I cannot do the Mohawk shown later on. I can transition by rotating my left foot about the heel, then just as my pelvis is opening, rotating my right foot about the toe, then plonking my left foot down. It's not as elegant as your transition. I'm working on exercises to open up my hips, any tips on that are welcome. Thanks for the video.
Great video. I just have one feed back/critique since this is geared toward beginners. On backwards to forwards you say "if you can't bring your heels together and toes out practice at home". Showing what stretches or things to do at home to accomplish this would be good. Thanks as always for the awesome videos.
I don't want to make the videos too long. Basically you can just practice getting into the position shown. Heels together, toes out. If you're not flexible enough then do it while seated and gently press your knees down towards the floor. You'll have to do it daily to stretch your muscles properly.
How To Hockey what I mean is if u were at the goal line and u started skating backwards to the blue and when u got there u had to go back to the goal line where you started as fast as u could without stopping
for front to back mohawk transition, i dont know if its a mind block for skating on my outside edge or if my feet refuse to go into the mohawk heel to heel at a 180 degrees--i feel like the farthest i can point toes is at around 90 degrees, what do you suggest?
buggld thanks, im finally improving on this, also i find that if i keep saying " heel to heel" improves my chances of not getting twisted up and confused! i still fear doing this at top speed though! this video really helped me & to answer my own ?? it is NOT necessary to have feet at a 180 degree placement in order to do this turn, yay
In a game situation when your transitioning from forwards to backwards how would you switch from forwards to backwards with maintaining or gaining speed?
Odd... in the first ,Scott version he shows the "monkey walk" when going from forward to backward but in the review portion Jeremy shows the monkey walk is used for going from backward to forward. Confusing.
@0:46 Nope! The knees should never be in adduction like that! The full force and weight of the skater should be supported by the outer foot, connected in tension by the outer thighs, into a neural pelvis with back and shoulders perpendicular to the ground and arms available for balance. For godsakes, find a ballet teacher and do Pilés by the thousands, the first hundred or so under supervision of a dance instructor. Smh, suddenly those dance majors will make a lot of sense. The hard way is the easy. There is a real need for movement training in all sports, and dancer are the experts. They have the practical skills to make that happen. I appreciate the effort but WTF, the learn is to teach!
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to learn about strength training for hockey try Skyarza Hockey Coaching Star (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

Those gloves are badass!
thanks, I always used this beginners level turn, but learned Advanced turn because of this.

Really improved my mobility and confidence in transitions.. Thanks.
Thank you! I have found these videos to be extremely high quality
For the more advanced backwards to forwards transition using the "monkey hop" is that on the outside edges?
Another great video. I learned this a while back, but for those beginners out there, really breaks down the footwork well.
Again, thank you for the videos. It's great review for the lessons that they guys at the rink give me. You all are the bomb!
I don't play any hockey but I found these highly useful :)

You made it so easy and clear for me! Thanks a bunch you guys!!!
Excellent tutorial! The post is highly appreciated
Haven’t been on skates since last March. Gotta get back at it.
Just wanted to say thank you.

i love you coach jeremy
Cool video, thank you so much.
Hmm it's funny cause when I try to do that I actually stop on the beginner one so I'm gonna do the advance 1
Yes this is normal, the beginner one will slow you down, but it's how most new players learn to transition. The advanced one is better
Great tutorial!

You are absolutely correct. Guess the one after that and you win a prize ;)

can u ask scott if he can make a video on skating backwrds and then transitioning to forward fast without stopping. (momentum change).
That's what we show at 3:06 in the video
How To Hockey what I mean is if u were at the goal line and u started skating backwards to the blue and when u got there u had to go back to the goal line where you started as fast as u could without stopping
I’ve tried stretching for Months, practiced it for months, and I still can’t open my hips up that wide on skates. With socks I can
For some reason I’m really struggling with these turns don’t know why
Does this work on inlines as well?

I have that problem with transitioning with my left side.. Turning my torso first and bending my knees quite a bit seemed to help a LOT.
