- There are a lot of things veteran hockey players don't tell you when you begin playing hockey as an adult. I have been keeping a list of these for about a year and want to share with you.
Let me know - did I leave anything out? Is there anything you have learned that no one taught you?
1:30 - #1: Don't stand in the crease
2:30 - #2: Talking to the refs
3:09 - #3: Don't be a jerk
4:32 - #4: Broken equipment
5:28 - #5: Don't be a home dresser
6:16 - #6: A whistle at a face-off means you have 5 seconds
6:47 - #7: Where to stand during face-offs
9:00 - #8: The most important hockey purchase you will make

I think I'd like to see a video(s) about how to maximize ice time, whether it's stick and puck or public skate. What skills you focus on, how to prioritize skills, what you do before or after to try and cement any lessons learned
Thank you! I added these to my list.
1. As a goalie myself, I fully despise anyone in my crease.
Keep the porch clear!
You should!!
Being in the crease depends on the rule book you are using. In USAH (Youth or Adult) you are not allowed to stand in there or keep your stick in there. You can skate through it, just can't hangout. However, Federation (High School) and NCAA (College) allows you to be in the crease so long as you do not interfere with the goalie.
I really wish we all followed the same rules! It gets very confusing, especially when people watch the NHL and assume they can do all the same things those players can. Thanks for the clarification!
Side note: One of the greatest players of all time, Mario Lemieux, was not able to tie his own skates due to back injuries later in his career.
But every player should be able to put on their own equipment (small kids are kind of the exception), as well as carry their own equipment (small kids are NOT the exception).
I had no idea! Seems crazy he could still play but not tie his skates.
Great tips here!
Where did you get the dry erase hockey board? Are those suction cups on it, and do they work? Thanks.
I got mine off amazon, although I do see them at most hockey pro shops. No suction cups - just magnets. That would be a great idea though!
Do you have any other social media we can follow you on to see how you are doing in your games?
I don't, but I did do another video on a game: ua-cam.com/video/yTHDnNq8TBA/v-deo.html
YES!
Thanks :)
Can’t you just air it out after playing? A fan or an outdoor breeze? Do you really need to use chemicals?
You can! But that smell just never goes away. You will start to learn what the "hockey smell" is :)
@@beginneradulthockey I know what the locker room smell is that’s for sure lol
I have my kid carry bag into the rink. :-)
haha smart!
Here’s one… please don’t defecate, go #2 or “drop a deuce” in the toilet in the team locker room. Urinating is okay but if you gotta go “drop the kids off at the pool” please do it in the arena’s public restroom or an adjacent empty dressing room. No one on your team wants to smell or hear you doing your business. Same goes for the team bus if you’re ever on a road trip, hold it until the rest stop. 💩🫣
Good call!
