Jeremy I want to thank you so much. I play for the Chicago Mission hockey club. I was a 4th line player for them. I only scored once about every 12 games. But now I have starting your videos and training at home every day. now I'm a 2nd line player who scores almost every game. I have earned the spot on my team so thank you for helping me on my journey.
Jeremy thank you so much! i am a 11 year old girl player for a all girls team. i started about 7 weeks ago and its amazing how much i've inproved! i scored my first goal in a game thanks to these tips. i couldn't had done it without you. :)
A good point for higher level players. The technique I talk about in the video can be applied to almost all shots from a variety of positions though, it's not only when you are in the slot with your shoulder to the net.
thanks man! as a casual ODR/ball hockey player against my friends. My shot was terrible before but after watching both your accuracy and power videos it has helped me improve!
Thank you Jeremy. I quit playing hockey after a minor injury to my knee cap, when i began high school. It's been the biggest regret of my life these past years, as a 21 year old getting back into hockey, it can be really nerve wrecking getting out there whether it's an open ice, or open hockey or even a league, when your at an age expected to be fully adapted... Your videos have been helping me regain what i had, but to somewhat catch up to all that i've missed. I've had major problems with shooting primarily. I feel as though i've i,proved by 300%, and have gone from power being my main weakness, to shooting way to high.
Jeremy your videos have helped me improve so much. I am a thirteen year old and I only play roller/inline hockey (ice is so much money) and I wasn't the best player. So the night before one of my games I watched a bunch of your videos while I was shooting in my garage. And I when I play in my game the next day and I got my first hat trick. I got the first goal of the game on the first shot (five hole) and another goal later in the first period (five hole) later on in the game was lined up with the goal line and I took a wrister bar down. And I owe that whole performance to your videos. It'd be awesome if you got back to me and once again thanks
Jeremy ... thanks for all your videos. At 48 just getting back to hockey after 30 years. Really helpful information to help get back into form. Keep up the great work.
I plan on doing a video for this soon. For skating the best thing you can do is get lower, have good balance, and get full leg extension. Skating is very technical so I won't try to explain everything here, but the biggest issue I see with players is not enough knee bend. I shared a great e-book with the subscribers of my blog about improving skating, it is written by Kevin Neeld and is FULL of good info, if you visit his blog you should be able to find it. it's called Breakaway hockey speed
I find with the wrist shot (the one I am showing) it's not nescessary but sometimes happens. With the snapshot (the method I teach in another video) it's basically required to get full weight transfer. In my article on the snapshot I show two NHL examples of good technique and both guys do the leg kick as it helps transfer the weight. For the slapshot you will sometimes lift the leg, it's a by product of getting all your weight into the shot and transferring weight from one leg to the other
Thanks! I've been using those heave orange pucks. I broke 2 of my sticks by practicing but it was worth it. I'm the tiniest kid on my team but I have the best shot!!!!
Yes during the season focus on your technical skills as it will pay off a lot during games. During a game pay attention to your flaws or weaknesses and work on improving them (but also work on your strengths as well) During the off season don't be afraid to play other sports as well, sports like soccer, tennis, squash, and lacrosse will keep you in shape and also work similar muscles as hockey.
I could have done it in 2 minutes if I just showed all the methods with no explanation, but I like to throw in a few lessons as well. That way people know why they are doing something. It helps drive the point home, I try not to ramble too much, haha
I really like the 3rd tip, "actually try." Everybody forgets this, you sometimes let your mind wander and don't really pay attention to your shooting. I do this, every guy on the ice practicing i see does that 80% of the time. At drop-ins you see more guys kind of flinging shots and flicking them towards the net than you see really trying to drive it into the net. Great video!
You are right, when editing the video I noticed I said 105, but there's no going back so I just left it in there. I was waiting for someone to mention it. Still 101 is a hard shot from a 5' 11 guy!
I am ambidextrous, and lucky enough to dial it up from both sides (carried both right and left handed sticks). You do make a valid point about the top hand. I was fortunate to play hockey with some guys that had great NCAA, U.S. National team, NHL careers. I emulated what I saw them do while we played. At the age of 35, without touching a stick in over 20 years, I still hit 81 on the radar gun. I always thought about staying upright with my upper body through the shot, it helped increase torque.
This is perfect i share this with people quite often, i know i did my own how to video on shooting but i dont like sounding arrogant and your explanation is great too! Thanks!
It depends which shot. With the snap shot it's critical to get the hands away from the body. Search Google images for Ovechkin snapshot and then TJ Oshie snapshot and you will see what I mean. They're hands are away from the body to flex the stick and get leverage in the snap motion at the end. With the wrist shot it happens but not quite as much. It happens VERY quickly though. There is a right and wrong way to have the hands out, so I know what you mean by being off balance. Technique is key.
It's optional depending on the situation and your style. When most players will lift their back leg as they shoot they are making sure that all of their weight is transferred forwards, however it can be hard to lift your leg in tight spaces and when coming out of a turn. Lifting your leg also makes you more vulnerable to body checks so watch out.
This is a great video. I was actually doing some research on what makes a "hard shot" in hockey because I believe the same concepts can be applied to picking up speed and distance on my golf swing. I noticed that you really extended your hands well out and through your shots. Also it is interesting to hear that you believe that 100 reps a day is a good objective to put the action into muscle memory. About 10,000 reps. That requires a disciplined work ethic but can be achieved with a good time schedule, I think.
Thank you! 😁 you inspired me I watch a lot of your videos and you are awesome and this morning when I watched this I was in bed at 8:30am I got up went out and shot 100 ristshots and 100 slapshots and it took one hour and today thanks to you I well play great today in my hockey tournament! Thank you!!!
I would never be able to stay upright but it was a good mental thought to have while unloading a big shot. I felt it gave me better form and motion through the shot. I felt like I was not getting into my own way.
Excellent video.... One tip a coach told me many years ago...is to keep the lower arm straight and rigid for best power... If your elbow bends even the slightest during the shot you loose the steam in the shot...
Agree. I'd like to know a few exercises to do to help with speed in a straight line also and leg strength. I want to become a faster skater and better skater.
Alright big chap, during the hockey season should you focus more on techincal things such as shooting and stick handling? Is it during the off season when you should dedicate more time to fitness? Or work on techincal ability and fitness as a 50/50 split?
I'm 18 years old, played for 12 years, and I realized that I have never been properly trained in shooting. I tried using my top hand for the first time today, and my shot is already faster and feels better. Thank you!
Jeremy after this vid my shots have been so much better thanks also the skating backwards vid really helped also like the other guy that said I also play inline ( roller) please reply
I'm actually a golfer looking to improve distance. There's a pretty well known Canadian golfer named Jamie Sadlowski who hits the ball a quarter mile ... and he grew up as a hockey player. So thought I'd see what he was doing when he was a kid.
Thank you for this. It has improved my shot. I am a thirteen year old ice hockey player and my shot has gone from 45 mph to around 65 mph in just a few months
Jeromy thats exatly the mistake i also mentioned by myself and on other players aswell, left hand towards the body, would love to see more vids on thts point. By the way love your vids!!
personal preference, i think it's better because all of the weight goes towards the leg you are leaning at wich makes your stick flex more making you're shots harder and more accurate
Hey Jeremy I have been playing hockey for 6 months now and my shot power is really weak,and I can't elevate the puck and when I shoot it is a rolling puck which I know is a weak shot. Please reply or do another video, because I'm going to play hockey games soon and I want my shot to be stronger and I want it to elevate for me to score more goals. Thank you!😃
i dont know why but when i am shooting doesnt matter on ice/off ice i dont shoot full power almost never is that bad thing ?? and when i shoot an a snapshot which tecnigue is better use the toe or not use the toe ??
Most of the times when I take shots in games i face the goal. How do I transfer my weight in such a position? Or should I take shots from different positions?
I've only been skating for 5-6 years and I have a heavier slap shot than most of the junior or college players that show up, maybe after watching how to lean more which I dont really maybe I'll break the boards. Kinda funny I pretty much only have lower body strength and not too much upper body
Power skating lessons. It doesn't matter if you can shoot or stickhandle if you can't skate efficiently. Practice shooting and stick handling every day at home.
That's really a different shot. Here he is showing how to increase power. Personally when I lift my right leg (i'm a lefty) to shoot i'm trying to take a really quick snapper to surprise the goalie.
If your using puck off ice, then keep doing what your doing. If your using a ball then switch to a puck. When your on ice with a puck, work on your follow through and release because that's where all your height comes from. The reason why its not raising when your on the ice is because, you have not enough of a follow through.
You need to work on your stance, if the puck is in-between your legs and you follow though high with your stick, the shot will go high, and follow through low and roll your wrist for a low shot, and have the puck more towards your front foot.
I dunno about that permanent muscle memory. I used to be able to snipe anything and go bar down. With my slap shot I used to be able to go bar down and shoot over the net from the blue line same with my wristers and snap shots. Now it’s inconsistent sometimes I can elevate it sometimes not. I can barely get air on my slappy and I can go top corner. Once you figure it out talent doesn’t just disappear. You’re supposed to have muscle memory once you do it once it doesn’t go away.
im the biggest on my team but anyways i have the best shot im a squirt but if u see how i shoot u would think i was a peewee im a squirt but thank u jeremy u helped me so much!!!
Jeremy I used to be a just a minor league player on defence and I sucked then one day I stumbled across one of your videos and started watching all of them and practicing every day... Now I am a triple A starting line forward and the number 1 player in the league and I owe it all to you thanks bud
Jeremy I want to thank you so much. I play for the Chicago Mission hockey club. I was a 4th line player for them. I only scored once about every 12 games.

That's amazing! Great job, it took a lot of commitment and dedication on your side as well. Way to go, keep having fun and improving.
+MeWantDiamonds MC hey! I love that vid of your team playing cska red army lol! that fight was awesome

i started about a year and a halph ago doing learn to play, now i play AA i have always watched your videos and i shoot every day thank you.

I haven't been doing any of that weight transfer stuff omg, time to hit up a stick and puck
This is perfect i share this with people quite often, i know i did my own how to video on shooting but i dont like sounding arrogant and your explanation is great too! Thanks!
Jeremy your advice has helped me so much and I have gotten so much better. I will continue to watch your videos and I also like going to your camps
Thank you so much I watched this right before a tryout and it made my shot like 2x harder!
It depends which shot. With the snap shot it's critical to get the hands away from the body. Search Google images for Ovechkin snapshot and then TJ Oshie snapshot and you will see what I mean. They're hands are away from the body to flex the stick and get leverage in the snap motion at the end.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have played 18 years, but still like to get tips.
Thank you so much! I started ice hockey this year and my shots are brutal. This will help me

Jeremy. AWESOME. I've been looking for a video just like this for a long time. THANK YOU.
Wow! This really helped my shot out! THANK YOU!
Thank you for this channel!
I would never be able to stay upright but it was a good mental thought to have while unloading a big shot. I felt it gave me better form and motion through the shot. I felt like I was not getting into my own way.
Very good tips. Hard to find one site that's consistently accurate, and you're touching all the right bases. Big thanks.
Thanks Louis!
Great video!!
Excellent video.... One tip a coach told me many years ago...is to keep the lower arm straight and rigid for best power... If your elbow bends even the slightest during the shot you loose the steam in the shot...
I agree - Kevin's e-book is excellent. It is a segment from his equally excellent off-ice conditioning book "Ultimate Hockey Training".
thanks for these tips! ive improved so much just in a couple of days for watching you videos! :)
I went hockey to basket ball but now I'm gonna get back into hockey. Ur videos will help me Improve my hockey skill. So thankyou
that really helped me in hockey
You look like Eric Lindros in late 90's and your vids are awesome. Big thumbs up!
Great tips Jeremy
Agree. I'd like to know a few exercises to do to help with speed in a straight line also and leg strength.
I want to become a faster skater and better skater.

great alfie shout-out
I think i have watched this video over 100 times.. Great stuff!
what aspects of skating do u think are best to improve to be a better skater?
Still watching in 2018.. great videos.. thank you
Can you make a vid about which situation you would use certain shoots in
Jeremy after this vid my shots have been so much better thanks also the skating backwards vid really helped also like the other guy that said I also play inline ( roller) please reply
Thank you SO much! really helped. THANK YOU!!!
I'm actually a golfer looking to improve distance. There's a pretty well known Canadian golfer named Jamie Sadlowski who hits the ball a quarter mile ... and he grew up as a hockey player. So thought I'd see what he was doing when he was a kid.
watching from Australia where "brutal" tends to mean awesome. This was confusing.
IM from canada and we have the same thing. He just doesnt know what brutal means
M4sK well, not really, brutal doesn't mean awesome at all...
In America brutal means really bad
Hockey in Australia. Da f#@k
Pete Bolduc that’s great tho that means hockey is spreading
Hey Jeremy! I was wondering if shooting off of the heel affects anything. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
You got any videos on tipping the puck in front of the net?
THX!!!!! that really helped me!!
Another good tip is to follow through on every shot
Thank you for this. It has improved my shot. I am a thirteen year old ice hockey player and my shot has gone from 45 mph to around 65 mph in just a few months
correction. From 25 to 45 mph
When I'm home shooting from a synthetic ice board should I take a step before I shoot for weight transfer????
Yes
2013 finally TH-cam recommendations for me
It’s been 11 months bruh
lol
Im wondering do you do lessons or video tips on street hockey
Jeromy thats exatly the mistake i also mentioned by myself and on other players aswell, left hand towards the body, would love to see more vids on thts point. By the way love your vids!!
Omg i play rep hockey and at the beggining of the season im a RW with 0 goals after watchin a couple of vids of yours ive gotten 9 goals in 5 games
personal preference, i think it's better because all of the weight goes towards the leg you are leaning at wich makes your stick flex more making you're shots harder and more accurate
Awesome, that's why I make these videos :)
Thanks for the top hand tip. I'm shooting much harder now.
Great vid
hay jermy do you now wear daysland AB. Can you do centermen videio's
Thanks I want to make it to adorn b next year
Coach Jeremy is the only online coach i trust
Hey Jeremy I have been playing hockey for 6 months now and my shot power is really weak,and I can't elevate the puck and when I shoot it is a rolling puck which I know is a weak shot. Please reply or do another video, because I'm going to play hockey games soon and I want my shot to be stronger and I want it to elevate for me to score more goals. Thank you!😃
Nice tips
I can't see the puck wen you shoot on the band so I'm not sure if it's powerful
i dont know why but when i am shooting doesnt matter on ice/off ice i dont shoot full power almost never is that bad thing ?? and when i shoot an a snapshot which tecnigue is better use the toe or not use the toe ??
Hey can you tell what to do at home
when i shot, i stand on one leg, is that wrong? hope u understand what i mean
I'm a beginner of hockey but this helped me
were you at the hockey expo in minnesota i think i was you
2nd tip was the best
Thanks I'm the biggist kid on my team but I have the worst shot now I'm one of the best thanks
But then the tips were pretty solid. Good comments about the top hand, for sure.
Most of the times when I take shots in games i face the goal. How do I transfer my weight in such a position? Or should I take shots from different positions?
thanks :)
im 13 and play hockey these videos are really helpfull
you are so good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
do you play for a team ?
I've only been skating for 5-6 years and I have a heavier slap shot than most of the junior or college players that show up, maybe after watching how to lean more which I dont really maybe I'll break the boards. Kinda funny I pretty much only have lower body strength and not too much upper body
I'm 15 and play shinny hockey a lot at my odr and wanna play in league but I'll be in batam any tips
Power skating lessons. It doesn't matter if you can shoot or stickhandle if you can't skate efficiently.
Practice shooting and stick handling every day at home.
I don't know actually, but I think that lifting a leg helps you to lean in the shaft more and load up the stick better. Well that is what I feel.
That's really a different shot. Here he is showing how to increase power. Personally when I lift my right leg (i'm a lefty) to shoot i'm trying to take a really quick snapper to surprise the goalie.
Awesome
I have the problem that if i shot off ice i shot slapshots very hard and with power but on ice i can't even lift the puck
If your using puck off ice, then keep doing what your doing. If your using a ball then switch to a puck. When your on ice with a puck, work on your follow through and release because that's where all your height comes from. The reason why its not raising when your on the ice is because, you have not enough of a follow through.
Try putting your hand lower on the stick to start, it's the easier way to make adjustments with the height difference as Aaron was saying.
You need to work on your stance, if the puck is in-between your legs and you follow though high with your stick, the shot will go high, and follow through low and roll your wrist for a low shot, and have the puck more towards your front foot.
CHECK OUT HARD CORE HOCKEY JOSH KERN THE BEST IN US RIGHT NOW CHECK HIM OUT YOUR MISSING OUT SKATE LIKE A KERN BABY
Same I slap shot hard off ice but I'm bad at slap shots on ice
I dunno about that permanent muscle memory. I used to be able to snipe anything and go bar down. With my slap shot I used to be able to go bar down and shoot over the net from the blue line same with my wristers and snap shots. Now it’s inconsistent sometimes I can elevate it sometimes not. I can barely get air on my slappy and I can go top corner. Once you figure it out talent doesn’t just disappear. You’re supposed to have muscle memory once you do it once it doesn’t go away.
I did. His 800th like
Approved
im the biggest on my team but anyways i have the best shot im a squirt but if u see how i shoot u would think i was a peewee im a squirt but thank u jeremy u helped me so much!!!
Dude we have the same last name
Jeremy I used to be a just a minor league player on defence and I sucked then one day I stumbled across one of your videos and started watching all of them and practicing every day... Now I am a triple A starting line forward and the number 1 player in the league and I owe it all to you thanks bud
