In this video from our how to ice skate series we teach you the importance of good balance, and a few drills that you can use to improve your balance out on the ice. Once you have good balance you will feel more comfortable on your skates and get more power and speed.

Just starting to set up a small 'kids hockey coaching' session and your tutorials are a great help. Thanks loads!
What a great video! Thank you, guys! Also videos would be great only for beginners 101, with all the exercises, you guys recommend, balance, edges, and stop skills etc, then an intermediate and advanced video!
This really really helped my balance and it improved every thing.
Ah, you uploaded this at the perfect time! Started playing roller hockey a few weeks ago, and my skating is pretty weak. I'll definitely apply most of these to the pavement. Thanks!
Thank you. Great video. Learnt more new homework drills.
keep them coming Jeremy!
Thanks for the videos and tutorials for those of us that do not have this at our local rinks. Also, what kind of drill do you have for someone that had hip replacement surgery? I have been back on the ice now since last November trying to find my stride and foot work.
I def needed this help alot
Hey Jeremy, you ever tried leaping pistol squats on the ice? Great drill for balance and power too
Love this channel I learned to do the hockey stance correctly because of you thank you!!
Well I like pens is off topic lol
Good job mate )
Good video cause I have used all drills in my programs for over 30 years.
Have been following your videos for some time now. Use them with my squirts a lot because you do not try to stuff too much into each video. What do you suggest for the backwards skater that won't sit back and then lacks balance and confidence to do cross unders?
An idea I had for a video could possibly be help on using defense as a screen when shooting on a goalie. Or like things too try on the rush.
Holy hell do you ever make dropping to your knees and getting back up look easy. We did this drill at hockey practice the other day and all of us were sprawled all over the place. 😂 I can fairly say you make a really tough drill look like nothing... and I need to practice waaaaaaaay more!
Could you do a video on how to shoot the puck high because Im having a bit of trouble figuring out how to shoot it up higher.
Pewdiepie89 figure it out yet?
A trick is to lift up the puck up on the boards and you can literally carry it
You are very good
For the jumps I jumped right over the length of the goalie crease
my biggest problem with balance is when i try to shoot, my balance when i am stickhandling is not that bad, could use some practice but its fine for now and i can skate relatively fast but when i try to shoot, my balance just gives up and i take very slow and weak shots that either dont get lifted up(not always but it happens) or they always go to the crest of the goalie, im gonna do these drills as much as possible if i can but could there be anything else i can do?
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super Thanks!
Does any one know how to fix this? When I go on the outside edge of my right skate it slides out from under me. I don't know what I have to do or if it is just due to the blade itself
playin hockey for a year now, i am good with crossovers, but the drills with the outside edge are so tough ... i dont know i cant make a whole circle just with one food on the outside edge ... im slipping over at one time! what am i doing wrong?
NWGJulian well yes they are hard
Is anyone watching on January 17 2018 after the kings vs pens game witch team do you like better I like pens
haha the first tip is great for the one knee celly too
Im 6ft3 250 lbs what shout i do to drop weight and condition?
Hey Chris I need some help with faster stick handling and power skating. i have been playing street hockey for 3 years although it was on with tennis shoes. i am now staring a beginners training program to get into a league
Lila E his name isn’t Chris
Im actually skating now, still Fall but using elbow pads dont feel it too much
Just started learning how to skate and one thing im finding out fast is that i have no balance when i try to skate. I keep my knees bent and everything but I always end up bending my ankles in and skating on my inside edge because it feels more stable. Is this normal for someone who has never skated before? Whenever i try to skate with one leg to work on balance I try to keep my skate straight but always end up turning cause my ankles want to dip in. Any advice?
Ty2957 tighten your skates
Ow, I landed wrong while doing the one foot jump drill and my ankle really hurts now
I lost a tooth smacking my face into the ice. Didn't realize I lost it until I sat down with the aid kit lol. My advice is take your time and don't get cocky
Can you do a spino-rama tutorial please!
I have one (and videos for 20 other moves on the goalie) but it's in my Goalie Buster training videos goaliebuster.com/
I think this guy plays hockey
ok this is a dumb question, how do i know which of my foot is dominant? always thought it's my right, but it turns out i could balance better on my left side O.o
+TheFantasyFen its easy stand straight and ask someone to push u back if your not thinking at it the foot that goes back first is your dominant foot
TheFantasyFen I think another way is just to see which foot is stronger
Domant foot a k a. Your strong side. My domant foot is my right
dany fournier LOL well yep that’s one way!!
TheFantasyFen try doing snow plow stops. I found my left foot is my weak side from doing that.
can u make a video on where u should be for faceoffs as left wings
There's no right or wrong answer to your question, as a Left winger in the D-zone you may be asked to setup on the right wing just inside the right winger to attack the opposing defence man dependant on where the puck is won off the face off. Or your coach may want you to line up on your normal face off side which means you have a certain job to do but it all depends on which coach you have and what THEY want to left winger to do its not really up to you unless you're in house league
Nary Jeremy could make a list of best composite sticks for beginners under 100$ ? Please and thanks
MiningCharizardNew any composite stick for that price will be good. I personally like warrior sticks. If you want a light stick, the covert qrl5 feels pretty light to me.
Flameswipe21 thanks
I found that touching the ice with a knee is tough without a stick !
Did you know that you can go to different clips I’ll show. 2:45. Click on it :)
How do you avoid spinning out when sliding one knee? I am in the later stages of developing all the basic hockey skating maneuvers but for the life of me I can't figure out why I start spinning out.
Make sure to keep your stick pointed straight and your abs tight.
Keep your back foot upright, or in other words your toe pointing down on the ice. NOT the inside of your boot (he actually did this in the video but didn't spin).
Keep your eyes looking where you want to go. Don't look down at the ice. Eyes and chest up.
Is anyone watching on December 17th 2016 after the pens vs kings game and what's your favorite team pens or kings I like the kings
Game World I like both but I like pens better
Nice im going to try this, the only this that sucks is that i live in Miami fl so you can imagine hockey isn't popular,i can go to the ice arena and pay 7 public skating but the only time you can play hockey is Tuesdays and Sundays and its only for one hour and its 15 bucks -__-. The league is way too expensive and i think they season os super short. I wanna move up north just for hockey!
Wow 15 bucks for an hour of hockey is crazy! Here in Canada, public skating and shinny hockey is about 3 dollars an hour sometimes an hour and a half, and free ball hockey too!
15 bucks wow here in New York it’s about 11$
MrGabys91 wow it’s so expensive! $15 wow so 2 hours = $30 :(
Lol I forgot that it’s only one hour xD
It's 10$ for stick and puck and rat hockey up here in Illinois
I try to get my son to watch these. He’s 4.
someone could help me because when I try to put my knees on the ice it hurts me and i dont now how to change it
Dont crash ur knees on the ice slow touch it then bring it up then switch with ur other leg.
ThePhantom712 ok thanks
Well it’s more painful to go two knees down at same time
What is the highest level u played at
NHL
Midget
I like pens
When I try to balance on one leg, I'm always on either my inside or outside edge and i start to slowly turn lol
I love these videos and their super helpful to me, but before you post 'em could you take a little time balancing the audio? It's all over the place. I keep having to adjust the volume to either hear you at all or keep from blowing my ear drums out. Thanks and keep up the great work! Please don't take my constructive criticism as trolling. You're awesome.
Thanks Chris, I do try to balance the volume. I had done it with this clip however it must not have saved properly as you are right and the volume is all over. Sorry about that. I will double check on the next one.
How To Hockey Thanks!
Why do I have to live in Oregon... Seriously there's nowhere outside of Eugene or Portland to play ice hockey or even roller hockey.

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover off ice speed training for hockey try Skyarza Hockey Coaching Star ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbor got cool results with it.
Most of the video is a balance drill apologist debate.
