As I am just starting my second season ever I am not quite at this level but I really appreciate these sweet tips. Cannot wait until I can mix these kinds of drills into my workouts.
These are nice, I used twigs instead of hockey sticks and was rollerblading, Loads of fun and get a nice burn on the forearms too if you push yourself. Great Vid!
Pavel, when you do drills like this, where do you try and focus your gaze? For example, are you trying to focus a couple of stick lengths out in front so that the puck is more peripheral? Or is it okay to be looking right at the puck (as you seem to be doing in the final 4-puck exercise)? Or can we be looking at the puck and then glancing up every once in a while to keep some situational awareness? So many people skate around with their head down, I wonder if more time should be spent developing good hands with the head up? Thoughts? (An anecdote, I met a great musician once who stumbled at his first live gig because the lighting was low and he realized that he'd done all of his practicing in a well lit space. So he went home and starting practicing in the pitch dark. After a few months, he was back to his previous level of skill without needing to look at his instrument any more.)
Eyes up is always situational. I always want to see everything I need to see to make an effective play. Sometimes in training we aren't doing game scenario drills, but we want to form those skills set so our training style should reflect that effort made to look up when performing some of the stickhandling routines. For the 4 puck I am switching from looking right at the puck, to looking ahead of me. It's a constant adjustment. The camera angle is pointed down to see the pucks and stick, but I'm usually looking at the puck, then out in front. As I get better, I'll spend less time puck watching. For 3 puck I can do it, but I just moved onto 4 puck so I still need to puck watch at times.
this is a awesome video. i met you at play on in edmonton me and my dad talked to you a little bit, i was wondering if you could watch my most recent video that is being uploaded right now. it would mean the world to me if you liked it.
more vids like this, i have a hard time finding good videos to improve stick handling on youtube, but this was perfect

Man, these are actually good drills. It’s hard to find these on TH-cam
Il sait très bien jouer avec la rondelle, bonne routine d'entrainement

may i ask how tall is your stick, i heard for better puck handling and better movement with the puck, you should keep it under you chin and lower.
WOW!!!
I'd love to have Pav as a trainer because you don't feel like you're being judged every second
That is something I've always taken very seriously! Never want anyone to feel judged. So long as you work hard and do your best, nothing else matters.
