I wish he was righty so I didn’t have to mirror flip his technique in my mind
Sean, I love your tutorials! I wished I had access to you videos when I was in HS and college. I started playing Ice Hockey and when it got to expensive I started to play roller hockey. It’s a little different but trying to get ice time back before 2000 was difficult. My best friend taught me how to play. I had no idea how to play whatsoever. I play D and I’m right handed in that I write and throw a baseball right handed but when I play hockey my left hand is on top and my right hand is on the bottom. I tried putting my right hand on top but it just doesn’t feel right and I can’t even lift up the puck with my right hand at the top. Is it true that you should have your dominant hand on the top of your stick? Because if it is then I’ve been shooting wrong this whole time and I don’t know how to unlearn being right handed in hockey. Sorry for the newbie question but the reason I ask is because I also played lacrosse for college and I can shoot a lacrosse ball faster when my right hand is on the bottom of my stick and my left hand at the top. Am I weird since I’m right handed but I shoot and pass with my left hand on the top? I do not know how to shoot any other way. Should I try and correct it and learn to shoot with my right hand on top or does it matter at this point?
As a goalie, the shots I have the hardest time with are the "no wind up" snap shots – where you just flick the wrists as the puck comes to you. If you don't stop and sweep it, you give NO clue where you're aiming. I can usually tell by eye focus or waist turn where a sweep shot is going.
I like this intro!
Awesome-est of teaching videos and great tips.
This coach is teaching something knew every class . Not your cookie cutter teacher
Great tips here.
Dude your content is out of this world!!!!
Where was this shot? Highland Park IL? Rink looks familiar
Sean, I have a defenseman at home. What all-purpose stick height would you recommend? To chin? mouth, nose, eyebrows, Jagr/Barkov-style? Thanks in advance.
Super 👍💪
6 minutes of talking on ice is way too long my brother your next step as a teacher would be to learn how to be clear, precise & quick with your feedbacks. If you have that much to say , you would do that pre-ice.
The best choach of the World 🥰
Look I know you're teaching kids here, but this info is amazing for me at 41 having just started to play hockey. You break it down so well even an idiot like me can grasp it.
Masterclass?
Which NHL teams did you play for again?
Do a day in the life vid
Very good, the best I’ve seen so far but there is more. Break it down more so little ones can understand a bit more.
Where is hand placement, what kind of stick/flex. How do you explain to follow through so they can’t mess it up. There is more!
Don’t get me wrong because that video was very good! Good job
Face
There's another thing, a huge bonus, that probably should have been mentioned with respect to shooting in your stride at 7:40, that applies to all ball sports, like football, hockey, floorball, is that, the goalie will have a much harder time seeing your shot.
When you "stop", which in floor ball and soccer, means you're taking a shorter step, or you are slowing down a bit, or in hockey, you glide, the goalie can much quicker focus on your feet (foot ball) or stick (floor ball / hockey); this is important from a goalie's perspective, because that means he or she can anticipate the direction of your shot and when it's coming.
If one shoots in the stride, this becomes exponentially a lot harder. You can score with just average shots, they don't have to be amazing or hard to save, if they're hidden in a stride / step, that lessens the window of reaction for the goalie by a lot.
If you're playing football, and for instance you're free and you shoot using your toe in step, it'll basically be impossible more or less to anticipate as a goalie. Now, in football you would rarely use your toe, but let's say you've got two players attacking your possession of the ball close in front of the goal, this can be extremely useful.
The point is, you want to hide your shot as well as possible. Because if the goalie can anticipate where you're shooting, no matter the power the shot has, he or she can save it.
sorry what is that song in the begin intro ?
4:07
Just got back into hockey after 7 long yrs and now my hands and wrist feel broken all the time
2:35 what is he saying?
I really appreciate all the knowledge you're sharing! Your voice is in my head during every practice thanks so much
As an American 23 year old who just started playing less than a year ago, I want you to know that you’re videos are immensely helpful for me personally.
So, thank you!
Good stuff coach. Never had anyone break it down like this. Love it.
Wish u were a righty cause i have to mirror flip it
With my wooden sticks I have 100 000 000 000 000 000 more power than the empty and flex sticks.
Hockey is not only shooting like lot of people think,but for sure shooting is very important.
Hockey is skating and playing.
