Great video!

[@samakm8425]

This is a great outline. More technique detail in a number of these would be helpful. For example (only an example). what angle is best to steer another player, where should hips, shoulders and skate be aligned?

Hi Sam! Thank you for watching the video, I appreciate the feedback and will definitely take it into consideration if I make another video!
May I ask how you came across my video? I did this for a grade 10 school project and I only expected it to get maybe 10 views, but there are around 20 thousand now. I am very curious as to how my grade 10 project got this much exposure and how people come across my video.

Nice

[@jakegiles3748]

i know this was 3 years ago but i know that rink. Its the Ice Box in south bend

[@yinyangyt8749]

I’ve played there

[@mialajoie5602]

The only problem with the feel check is that you might trip them and get a penalty I have already tried it and I got a penalty

[@mixtallrikk1178]

bro the feelcheck is just tapping hahaha how do you manage to trip someone

[@ethangallo3698]

[@mialajoie5602]

Same

[@wubby3000]

Yup I'm from Canada! That's 8-rinks in Burnaby Canada. But a bunch of Calan Ice centres look the same as well.

[@mixtallrikk1178]

isnt the push on hips technique illegal? isnt the player who does it awarded a penalty

[@martinsskutans6646]

Hips- legal. Above hips- illegal

[@yinyangyt8749]

I think

[@1976boru]

i like the drills a lot but they should have been filmed in isolation without any interference from the skaters.

[@CheerfulChocolateStrawbe-hw8ih]
