As a travel coach. "Crossovers" are taught wrong. I have had tremendous success teaching skaters of all ages to have the inside leg push under. Call them "push unders" for new skaters. Lifting a leg while keeping balance and going around a circle is challenging for new skaters, but having them change their train of thought to something tjat sounds easier could aid in learning a pretty integral piece of being a great skater.

At last nights game No.2 started No. 1 🤭

I played on a coed American/Canadian/German beer league team in Germany. I feel like it was more of a cultural thing but men were naked and nobody made a big deal. I personally prefer to shower at home but I did feel comfortable enough to get down to my skivvies to change into sweats. In addition to communicating w/ teammates, read the room and do what you feel comfortable with

Do you all shower? 🫠

Thx😅 Before this you should gain stability on one leg.

Best breakdown of being offside I've ever heard, plus not to be a weirdo but a woman who knows this much about hockey is incredibly sexy...sorry 😂

One time I cleared puck from zone with slap snap/slapshot after referee blew whistle and thought I did great job clearing puck from zone.Only to see referee glare, teammate told after whistle you need to stop . 😀😀

Idk what this women is about to say! But I’m guessing it’s about to be so dumb it’s funny !

I dont have a bathtub so this will be the best thing to do😊

People don't want to do short shifts, because they've never played competitive hockey at any level and aren't skating hard.

maybe alternate weeks/games as to who goes first

Thank you for the advise

This is the greatest channel in the world for me right now! I’m 49 and have never played, and I am buying myself hockey gear and starting beer league for my 50th!!! 🎉🎉🎉

My question is why are showers even designed in a way that makes people not want to use them because of privacy concerns? They shouldn't be like prison showers.

On our team, we let the ladies shower first.

Men shouldn't be playing hockey.

Religiously use Funkaway on my gear after every game and hang up. Helmets have expiration dates.

Hi I am 46 yrs old and thinking about getting into hockey. Could you make a video or point to one about safety tips for adults entering this amazing game. Thanks in advance

Good job. Great advice

About to take my first step in to adult hockey at 39

This is an amazing video for adult skaters. Trusting the skates is so hard in the beginning.

Thanks!

You are correct. As a goalie, I am a nerd for stats - GAA, save percentage, shots on goal,... then it went from there about my personal game to remember stats of the other team's players, where they shot from, how they shoot, etc,... funny thing is that it never clouded my head or was a distraction. I would remember it and then write it down after to keep track.

Seems that "it would have gone in" is an educated guess, a judgement call.

Breezers? Must be from Minnesota.

Awesome im gonna try this right now !!! thank you so much...blessings to you and yours ❤

How can you not understand the math of cycling vs lines? If a line changes every 2 minutes or so..and you have two lines...then you rest about 2 minutes. I you are cycling through ten players then A player comes off every 2 minutes or so. Not three at a time. Duh.

In some leagues the team that iced the puck can't change players.

I would like to remind everyone about number 5. Short shifts....down and back once maybe twice. That's it. I tell my teammates "we need you for the whole game" "not a 5 minute shift in the first period". If you are tired......get off the ice.

Have fun. Another good saying is: "Don't sweat petty things, and don't pet sweaty things."

41 here. Started skating Nov ‘23, 7 months later I joined summer adult league. Wasn’t very effective but I was there playing against high school kids and beer leaguers alike. I now help coach 8U and 10U and assist learn to play hockey from 4-12. Point is, it’s never too late to learn. Old dogs still can learn new tricks. I ditched my ego and took advices from young guns and vets. First thing I did was establish correct mindset which was to empty my cup so I can put new water in. Then practiced my skating skills get better at it to where I subconsciously skate without thinking what to do next. And then learn to skate with stick and puck with my 8yo who plays in 10U travel AA. Goodluck to those who just started.

Great video as always! One thiing about females and jills is I would recommend wearing a female cup because if you get hit there with a puck or stick it will hurt a lot as it is still a sensitive area.

I had never heard of the term breezers before either. lol

How much does it pay?

don't be afraid to wait for sales, I was going to buy my gear earlier this year, but waiting until july got me a wicked sale!!

[03:40] "They can get spendy." hahah love this.

Also if you are at this level play with the knowledge that most of the people you are playing against are learning too.... DOnt get mad if someone runs into you, they probably could get out of the way

I'm 47 and I've never played hockey, probably watched less than a dozen games in my life. I started skating with my 5 year old in December and he just qual'ed for 8u majors, 'lil stinker is a natural skater. He skates circles around me, backwards, mohawks... Being a semi-retired dad, I've got the time to spend with him and reffing could get me up to speed on the game and off-set the not inconsiderable cost of his skater/player development under the umbrella of our emerging NHL franchise development program. Engineering development, even fly-by-night, is slow compared to a hockey game, but I'm sure I can keep up. Thanks for the inspiration!

It gets very cold where I live, around -40. Would it be okay to put it in my unheated garage? would it freeze?

Accidentally discovered pro tip: we had a large room dehumidifier for some drywall stuff we did. When we started drying gear, we placed it in our laundry room along with a small fan to maintain airflow. This combo dries everything for two players after a tough game in about 4 hrs. We usually just leave it on overnight. Zero odor issues :) Our dehumidifier has a reservoir that you need to empty every couple of dry cycles, but I've seen units now that have drain tube you can route right into a sink or drain to keep it even easier.

One thing that I’ve picked up from fencing to help control moisture is to put the silica gel packets that come with most packages in my bag since they’re designed to absorb moisture

I use this blue stuff called Captodor Equipment Spray from pure hockey. It smells like citrus and I would say it works good. But the con is the price of it and size so I use it when its really sweaty. I hang up my shoulder pads in a way where I can have it opened out and exposed to get enough air and then spray the stuff on it. I also use this Arm and Hammer stuff for Sport gear. Its about $8 and I mainly use it on the gloves, skates, and helmet. My shin guards have velcro padding that is machine washable so I just throw them in the wash and air dry. I'll try the laundry sheets thing, seems convincing. Thanks for the ideas.

If you can stay on the ice for longer than 60 seconds you are not skating hard.

Great advice and video! You do not want to be known as the player who nobody wants to be next to in the locker room due to smelly gear. I play 4 - 5 nights a week so putting my gear outside is not practical. I bought a hockey drying rack and I take my gear out after each game and just letting it dry in my office help to get rid of a of the smell. I also use Lysol and Febreze when the gear is dried.

So essentially, skate out the zone and make a b-line and run back into the zone to play the puck?

Really informative! Thanks for continuing to post content.

Just remember this is a sport. Some people take it super seriously, not everyone is like that but just be prepared. Also hitting is a part of the sport, so unless it's a dirty hit don't take it seriously. Have fun and learn. This is a game and most of us are here to have fun. You can have a great game and lose and you can have a bad game and win. This is a team sport (not all the time. you can have a great player who does most of the work alone and win) Just try have fun and skate as often as you can. Learning to move quickly side to side or from one direction (for example skating towards your end and quickly to the opponents end is best) Just learn to turn away from your opponents quickly as you can, is usually better than skating fast. Also try to learn to keep control of the puck. This doesn't mean deking really fast. But deking enough to confuse both the skater and the goalie and still keep control of the puck

I would say knowing puck handling and when to puck handle is best. For instance, lets say you're puck handling really fast against a defender. like short little dekes. he'll just poke check you and you'll lose the puck. so it might be better just to casually puck handle and have better control of the puck, until you see his stick go for the puck. than you can do the wide puck handle and skate away from him. And if you''re against a goalie, you can do the fast dekes and confuse him. It's usually easier to know how far a goalie is away from your stick than a player. So unless you're confident in your stick handling don't try the stuff you just learnt on a player. This doesn't mean never try on a player, just know it'll be harder against them. If you're feeling like it try, it on a player. Just know against a forward or defenceman it'll be more difficult. Just have fun. These are just notes to help you progress. Do what you learnt and if you fail assets what went wrong and if you don't know. ask a friend that was watching or a teammate.

also with a wooden stick you can heat the blade up to change the curve. if you see a stick you would like to try, but the curve is different. you can just try your best to copy that curve with the wooden stick. the stiffness won't be the same, but still a good way to try new curves without spending a whole lot on a new stick
