    I find it so odd that Hockey USA has rules that are so different from Hockey Canada and higher level leagues. Especially when it isn't for safety. You're probably exaggerating for effect, but your stance is too wide IMO. With legs spread apart that far you've got no mobility. You can't quickly accelerate in any direction. And if a player falls or a stick comes and takes out one of your legs, you are going down. Slightly wider than shoulder width, not spread eagle.

The one thing I will say though is nothing is going to get you better at skating than just getting out there and doing it, as much as you can. Go to all the open skates, go to all the stick and pucks. There is no replacement for being on the ice and getting your body used to it.

    During your first game, if you find yourself with the puck over the red line. Shoot it in the O-zone to get pucks “Deep” - the more experienced players will chase it down in the zone. It’s an easy beginner move that your team will appreciate. “Get pucks deep, get pucks on the net”.

    Awesome video! Thanks for doing this. I’m just starting out so these are great! I’d suggest isolating difficulty by working through the mechanics on shoes first. I’m guessing it’s a bit harder balancing on skates and on the ice at the same time. Of course, once you get it on shoes, then the next step would be to practice on the ice. Looks fun! 🙂

I started as a 6 year old, probably after watching Hockey Night in Canada, and played for about 7 years until I had to decide whether to move up to a body-checking level. I decided against it. I always played House league with my dad as my coach. I'm NOT athletic at all. Not then and not now. I started playing again as an adult at around 21 and it felt like I had to learn how to skate all over again! Only last year did I finally join a league again. Its a co-ed league and its been a LOT of fun. I'm an ok skater now but my skills are pretty lacking. Taking lessons to hopefully still improve, even at my age!

Second, if you had a line change every 45 seconds then the guy who just got off the ice arguably has only 45 seconds to rest. Also that can become distracting to the play at hand and cause you to lose focus. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten off the ice after just 45 seconds.

      @@beginneradulthockey It's awesome, yet very challenging and humbling at the same time... Never played before- graybeard closing in on whitebeard age- always wanted to play and figured I should just make it happen. I appreciate the videos- they help me learn more than what I see from watching on TV or in the arena. Thank you!

      Right?! It was a pretty cool play, no one expected him to get that.

    My top rules: 1) It's a game to be enjoyed by everyone not just for you. Don't ruin the game for everyone because you think you are going to get scouted (you arent). 2) What goes on the ice stays on the ice. Don't take anything off the ice, sometimes you aren't seeing the big picture and something that escalates on ice and it really isn't that important. Record your games and you will see what I mean, that grevious beheading you experienced in period 2 was actually your own teammates follow through barely clipping your ear hole. 3) This isn't soccer buttercup. No Dives, no embelishment. These things are supremely frowned upon in Hockey culture. If you are going to do that go play soccer. If you see someone doing this point laugh, insult their hockey prowess. 4) The refs are never wrong. They thought they were wrong once, but they were wrong. You will never convince a ref he missed a call. And while the only other reffing job they qualify for with their keen observational skills is in the WWE, yelling at them or calling them names only makes them watch you more intently and the other team less intently which means they are going to call you and not them. Thank the ref, go to the box if required, ask for clarification if you have to, don't make them mad. Some of the relish the glorious power appointed to them by the hockey gods and the chance to crush their foes excites them! 5) Make Friends, even with the other team. The community is small and for the most part all of us are playing at our local rink and depending on the size of the community and your level of play this limits the amount of players we are exposed to. The more you network the more you get invited to Private Ice times, tournaments, Travel hockey so on so forth.
