"Just try to hit the net"... hits crossbar at perfect angle.

Thanks for being a great uncle
Your welcome

Well, thanks for being a great nephew!
I really appreciate the time you guys use to make these videos, as a beginner they're really helpful and save me a lot of embarrassment at the rink.
Ken Hitchcock.... NHL coach for the last 16 years, he played minor hockey until he was 17 and quit because he wasn't that good. He's lead, coached, mentored and taught pro players for the last 16 years. My goal is to challenge, motivate and teach. Plus... I'd say I'm at least an ABOVE average beer leaguer, haha
These videos are helping a lot thank you
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks really helped me!
Can you do a video on shooting while you are skating towards the net? When I'm going full speed I only get off a weak shot and fall flat on my face. Even when I try slowing down, my shot is still really weak compared to when I'm standing still.
Realy helps me on yesterday training to shoot hi!! thanks
Gotcha, I thought you meant flexing the stick to improve accuracy. I didn't mention it in this video because this one is all about accuracy. My last video was about generating more power in your shot and I talk about using weight transfer, stick flex, and proper technique.
Awesome vid thanks
Thats the point, using the flex for more power and dont forget the accuracy aswell. I try it but its really hard for me to use the whip of the stick on wrist shots because i didn't learn it in past.
You're right, I've been faking it all a long. I've been using a body double in all videos that involve me skating. Also sorry only 2 out of 5 shots top right were bar-down and only 3 out of 4 were 1 inch inside the left post. I'll work on that, I'm so dusty.
thanks. nice vids
This guy is good, and we can learn from everyone.. Everyone has his or her own tips n tricks.. Thanks for the advice.. Keep up the grind
. Your the man!! Go away haters!!
I flex the stick for power, but how does it relate to accuracy? i suppose a whippier stick vs a stiff stick would have some effect but you would have to adjust your shooting style to accommodate. Share your tip
cool video!!
this is good
Jeremey dude i love your videos, I'm playing triple a hockey and I've only been playing hockey for a month, thanks to you i score from 3 to 6 goals a game
Nice joke
U r not playing triple a u have played for a month only. AAA is the highest division
and also i doubt ur getting that many goals ni AAA the goalies are god in AAA so im asumming u mean AAA house
If you're shooting from the blue line, 2 key points: Get the shot on net, and shoot the puck low. A Goalie can only stop a low shot with his pads or stick which equals big fat rebounds. Shoot high and the goalie catches it in glove, cradles it to his chest, or blockers it over the glass or into the corner. Shoot low and your team will get a big fat juicy rebound every time. The more you know.
Very good point, but you have to learn to walk before you run. Once people get a grasp for the fundamentals then I start them with the more advanced stuff like shooting off one foot, shooting in stride, etc. I do cover it in my channel though.
Ok, would love to see more vids about the the quick release shot in combination with accuracy, while skating and in standing position. For me the quick release is the hardest shot to learn..
Hello
I just started growing a great interest in hockey. And it´s kind of bad that it´s a little too late now when I´m 18. I´ve never played serious hockey in my life. I think I´m a pretty good skater. I mean backwards crossovers and such easy,basic stuff by a pretty good skater. My hockey shots however is kinda bad. But i guess if I train like 2 hours everyday in 1 or some years it´ll get better.
What do you think my chances are to play hockey? Not like NHL but some low league teams?
go to germsny
how can you lift the puck, when im shooting the puck next elevate itself
These are really good tips, although this is my secound year and it is really hard for me to get it in the air. getting the puck on the ground in bantum is worth less unless its a dangle is the any easier ways to get my wrist stronger?
If you want stronger writs try using weighted pucks or a weighted stick. you can add weight to your stick by taping 2-4 pucks on your stick.
Anybody notice that there is so much trash talking on non aaa/pro/nhl videos in recent years? There are a finite number of NHL teams and a finite number of spots available for players. What happened to "for the love of the game"? Keep doing what you are doing! I play adult now and your vids are nice to refresh my memory when taking my shooting board out to the local rink.
You think 18 is old? I have just turned 32 and bought my first pair of skates and am learning to play here in Australia... If I can make the attempt and hopefully get in our low end division then by all means my friend go for it!! Your skating is a thousand times better than mine, I am yet to go backwards or complete a hockey stop!!
Get out there and find out!! Best of luck!!
If I can't get to ice, will a roller hockey rink work or is the technique slightly different?
It will work! :)
I’m 5 mins it helped me sm with my shot thx
Is it ever to late to start playing hockey? I'm 18 but have been skating since I was very little and I also played hockey before on and off the ice, i'm going to community college for two years and after that i'm transferring to a university and the school I want to attend has a Ice hockey club and I really want to try out would two years give me enough time to get in the right shape and to improve my skills?
***** Thanks man! I talked to the coach on the Universities team and he said anyone could try out, but like I said I have 2 years till then, If you want to see my progress I can maybe post some youtube vids on here.
It's really weird but I seem to shoot a lot better and a lot more accurately when on the move. When I'm stationary I barely get any elevation on the puck and a lot less power on the shot. Not sure if that's a bad thing and I have no idea why this is so. Any ideas?
Hey can anyone tell me how to shoot a puck higher? The puck always stays like 4 inches off the ground and never higher. Even if i follow through high. Any advice?
So I am pretty new to the game. When I take wrist shots, the puck doesn't fly true, like a saucer, but tumbles in the air. Any idea what I am doing wrong or how to get that nice flight on the shots?
just thinking out loud, would too much rolling of the wrist cause this tumbling?
Try to have the feeling that your are rolling the puck from your heel to your toe as you shoot. To practice just take a puck put it on your heel and just gently role the puck to your toe by pulling your stick towards you. You should feel the puck rotating along your stick. When your shooting this is the feeling you want to get. Most likely you are doing more of a flicking motion rather than a rotation with your body. Use your body to generate the power, rotating into your shot and releasing. This will help you get a stronger shot and give the puck a nice saucer.
One other reason to fire those low shots hard - a slower shot isn't just easier for the goalie to stop, it's easier for the defense to pick off before it reaches the net. The last thing you want to do is just turn over the puck and start the other team's breakout.
I would add that another reason to shot low when there is lots of traffic in front of the net is to avoid serious injury of another palyer.... I believe in playing hard and hitting hard and clean, but serioulsy injuring another player with a slap shot is not cool and something you really don't won't on your concious .....
how do u follow through if your shooting mid?
hey whats the name of the stick ur using, i am looking for a new stick, ik its ccm but whats the name
Griffin there is no such thing as a u+, there's a ccm u+ cs (crazy strong), and ccm u+ cl (crazy light)
Sky Barclay I think griffin probably means that the "u+" is all he can descipher based on the video. At least he narrowed it down, right???
how long is your stick?
"See if I can hit the net"
Goes bar down
we've got one for the slapshot and snapshot, search our channel
I play hockey and whenever I shot from the point I get top shelf goals but not with my slapshots
what I do is close the blade and then open on the follow through
So many hockey players try to talk bad about others skills, and they only do when they're jealous. His skating form is great actually, he's goin outta his way to improve others skills who need help (obviously u do if ur even watching this video) youshould be thanking him. Shame on you seriously.
Wow, he changed a lot
this is all good advice. but generally speaking unless you open up to receive the pass in the position he is in to take a wrist shot or one timer, most often you are much better off taking a quick wrist/snapshot off one foot without losing your stride. almost all of the best goal scorers do this. iginla, sakic, kessel, ovie and so on.
When you were taking the low shots I never seen any rolling the blade
um just a quick question are you left or right and thanks this really helped me
Hi, did you get my message? Lubos
hey don't listen to those losers like that mcforehead fool. you teach good and explain yours skills and drills excellently. thanks for what you do man.
is it weird that i always have a smart hockey ball in my pocket of my shorts/pants?
no that's normal
im talkin about austin hawk
Tip #3 for how to increase accuracy is basically "don't miss the net" lol. Still a good video I just thought that was funny.
I thing that you should always get some movement even if you are training, because you will probably never take shots while standing still. :)

You know why your first one from the blue line goes faster and is more accurate than the shots that follow it?
Answer: Watch your legs. On the first one from the blue line, you shift your weight from back leg to front leg very nicely, and you get your feet pointing the direction they should be pointing, which is forward. Then, you don't do it as well on the other shots. In fact, I noticed this in your other shots too. If you became more consistent with this, you'd have quite a good shot all the time.
Also, if you know when to drop your shoulder, then you should try to exaggerate a bit more.
I think if you do these things, you could get close to having NHL power. And I don't say that lightly. I'm not saying you'll be good enough to play in the NHL. I'm only saying that you COULD probably get CLOSE to having average NHL shot power, if you did these things I'm saying.

Ignore the idiots - 10$ says these guys were house-leaguer's until 16 and now play in like F division of some terrible city beer league, scoring 3 goals per game on guys who are either old, injured, or have played for less than 3 years, and they think theyre the shit. Besides - i could care less if you played house league or NHL, or if every shot hits bardown or misses the net. Wether or not your personal shot is perfect your tips are valid, correct, apply to everyone, and work.
I'm a new player I had 1 year in atoms and this year I'm in peewee sand my shot is terrible this did not really help much sorry I really am I still love your vids tho
Tinyturtle1 i literally started last year and this year is my last year in bantam and im horrible yet i was considered to be the MVP because of my determination and probably because i had 0 minutes in the penalty box, i didnt deserve the MVP status, i went to two power skating lessons and now i think that my skating is my best asset. my shot is weak but kinda accurate if i shoot a snapshot (if i shoot with a slapper or a wrist shot it always goes to the side or it stays on the ice xD) anyways im practicing a lot everyday on my shot and i dont have access to an arena in the summer for stick handling and such so all i do is shoot with all that i can. basically the moral of the story is practice practice and practice. i started way too late so i doubt it ill make it to the pros but your only in peewee so im pretty sure you have a chance

i am sometimes scared my stick will break from my slap shots even though im 12
if it breaks so what
my stick costs 340 dollars?!
It happens and its not common for a stick to break if it is the right flex
well... I have broken 3 so far and my parents were pretty mad, but I kept getting the most expencive ones still.
+Trolly lol ur form is probably not right, because I have a 87 flex and I take slapshots and my stick never breaks (Bauer Supreme 160)
If they had a goalie it would be better .
"alright im out far, lets see if i can hit the net"......... *bar down*
First comment after 2 years
Missed the point of flexing the stick a bit, but nice video anyway.
How to you get all,this ice to yourself

Watch out, we got a Peewee house player here
Instructions unclear, there are holes in the ceiling
I'm gunna take a wild guess... were you the ONE dislike?
You Have a Bad Shoot
+DatKidFromNewYork it's actually vocabulary.
+LordOfChaos959 actually, it's grammar, bro...
I think having both bad grammar plus bad vocabulary is minor to his bad manners and his need for attention though 😆
