I started at 70 years old and I just made a u8 AAA hockey team I can't wait to play
If u started at 70 years old you can't be with a under 8 hockey team
Don't ruin his dreams
+Bobby Lee if he's 70 I'm pretty sure I'm not
+Travis Patrick oh sorry I thought he wasn't kidding
You mean 7 bro
This is so awesome to me because I started playing ice hockey when I was 14 and in the 8th grade (last year) and played house for a year and was pretty bad not going to lie but after a summer of skating hard and improvement I made my high school's team and we went to the state championship this year. I just wish I started the sport when i was younger so I could have a couple more years of this because I love it! I hope this kid goes places he has the determination.
That is so awesome. I am now 13 and have only been skating for a year. Tonight is my third ice hockey game. I have never played before and it has been a tough journey for me. I was told constantly by people who are now my fellow teammates that I would never be able to play. I watched many of these HowToHockey videos and they have helped me a lot. Weird thing is my name is Nick and as you can see the kid in the video is #5 and I am #5 on my hockey team. Thanks to the support of my family and friends and these videos, I can play the game I love!
Nicholas Guarente hey dude keep striving to play the game of hockey and never gave up and I started at 13 playing house league and now I'm prob one of the best players in house league so never give up and keep on practicing
Don’t see ur name on ep
Wow this is amazing. I can see this kid going far because he really wants it.
Im fourteen. I've been paying house hockey for 3 years now. I really want to play travel but my parents don't have the time to drive me to games and practices. And of course money is also an issue. All the coaches say that I really should be in a travel league, but I guess I will just keep playing house and hope that something happens.
That is part of it, travel hockey is a big commitment for the parents, both financially and time-wise. There are ways around it.
#1 - You need to have someone believe in you, this is usually done through either amazing talent, or at least a lot of dedication and commitment
#2 - For money you can usually do fundraising to pay your registration. If no fundraising exists you could always do odd-jobs (like I did) and pay for your own registration. When people know a young person is working towards a goal they will usually help. I've seen some kids do bottle drives, cutting grass, raking leaves, etc
#3 - For the time commitment once you are on the team the people are usually very helpful. This works out well for car pooling to games and practices.
How To Hockey Thanks Jeremy! I play 2-3 hours of roller hockey a day and have a practice and a game a week. Ive been trying to convince my parents for almost a year to let me play.
Hi I just wanted to ask when you are in aaa do u have to travel to different cities?
Or countries?
Sunny Kler I dont play travel, but i do know that even the b team goes to different cities or states.
What a great kid! Thanks for sharing!
Wow this is really amazing that this kid started at 12 and 2 years later he’s already on a AAA hockey team! I think this video helps explain that anyone can be great at something if they put in the work for it!
Yoo
Hey Jeremy, thought I'd share my story too. I started hockey when I was 11 and I was awful until my second year of midget. In my first year of midget I had one assist all year. But then I stumbled on your pavel datsyuk stickhandling video and I subscribed and built a skills training guide with your videos and did the shooting challenge a couple years back. The next year in house I scored 30-40 goals and ripped it up. In my third year of midget I was cut from the AA team and played A where I continued to work on my game and improve watching your videos. By the end of the year I had become good enough where the AAA players from my organization were not as good as me, and I got some junior B camp invites and a main camp invite. I didn't make the team I tried out for but I'm going back this year where I'm pretty sure I have a good chance. I wouldn't have made it this far without your videos, thanks man! cheers!
I'm 20 and just started going to rookie training sessions four weeks ago. This give me hope! lol
I have a similar story to his, i started watching you while i was in minor atom i had 15 goals and 7 or 8 assists, i wasn't very good that is until i started watching your channel I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the drills and training, shooting, skating drills, i am now the captain of a AA Team with 72 goals and 45 assists last year. Thank you so much Jeremy!!
This is helpful a lot, a lot of motivation and a lot to keep me going. I have triple A tryouts tomorrow after 3 seasons of house and hard work wish me luck!
This is a great effort from this kid, congratulations! I'm 23 and i'm only just starting to learn to skate and then i'll learn to play hockey so hopefully everyone is right when they say you're never too old to start!
Wow this gives me even more motivation to keep training. Thanks Jeremy for everything you've done to help!
Thanks so much I'm in the same situation , been playing uk hockey in 1st division juniors only been playing 9 months and trying to get to the AAA version of UK hockey thanks Jeremy
I started this year and I'm 11. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that started late. This has truly inspired me to work hard and keep on working. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah ive just started this year and im 11
I watched your videos for a year finally started skating in November 2018. My friend already plays so with his I help I got the gear together and 2 weeks ago I went to my very first hockey training. I'm 27 and have learnt alot from your videos (UK)
Hey Jeremy,
I have learned more than half of what I know about hockey this summer by watching your vids. I just wanted to say thanks, and I am 12 too! It would be amazing if I could make AAA in 2 years
Thanks Jérémy i started when I'm eleven now I'm twelve and you've been a huge inspiration and taught me a lot of things
Great inspiration! I was born in Fairbanks Alaska, but grew up in Oregon. I always felt hockey was in my blood. Last year I started hockey at 26. My overall goal is to make A team in our adult league before 30. Hockey gives me more purpose in my life and fuels my passion thats for sure.
Garrett Smith did you make it
I started hockey at 11, and made high school hockey at 14.. I don’t play anymore at 17, health issues gone wrong witch makes it hard too live a normal life, hard too get up everyday and do get too school, I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, but I still enjoy watching and seeing hockey videos, I plan on trying out for JR. B next year, after I go on treatment, anyone can be a great hockey player, just gotta put the time and effort and patience, and you’ll get too your goal 💯
Hey I saw u played at the armory. I'm actually from Holmdel and just finished up midget-A for the generals
DUDE IVE BEEN DOING TNE LITERATLY EXACT THING I HOPE I MAKE IT THERE TO MAN. GOOD 4 U BRO U DESERVE IT 😀
Hey Jeremy is there a way I could get your email I wanted to ask you some questions on how I could improve my shot
I’m 12 and I just tried out for AAA for the spring and I’ve been in skates since I was 3 year old. This is amazing.
I just wanted to say thanks because i'm 12 and just started playing hockey. Knowing that people starting this late still have a chance to make it to the higher leagues is just really encouraging. Thanks
i started about 7 months ago and made the jv team as a junior. hoping i can make varsity if i keep improving but i’m just happy to be playing. this is definitely my favorite sport i’ve ever played and i absolutely love it. i’m so fortunate to be playing the greatest game in the world, even if i’m not that good. i still have to learn to stop on my weak side and get better at skating but i think i’m definitely improving and helping my team, even if i can’t score a goal.
nick is very inspirational this taught me a important life lesson. thank you for telling this wonderful story
@howtohockey I really want to make aaa but the only problem is I'm playing house league and get barely any icetime do you know something that simulates to skating on ice like rollerblades or anything thing like that
I started hockey when I was 11 now I'm 13 and learnt to skate when I was 2. I was thinking about quitting hockey because I didn't think I was good enough even though I loved it. Now thanks to yours advice I am just going to keep playing hockey and try to be as good as you (nick).
Dude this is funny because im 12 starting my first travel season thanks jeremy this is inspiring for me!
That's so funny, I am 12, I started playing house league hockey this winter, same story with me except I haven't made a AAA team
hi jeremy, would you shoot a video breaking down how to shoot in motion? most tutorials teach how to shoot stationary, as a beginner,i practice shooting office but when im skating i can't even lift the puck, shooting and skating they just don't come together, so can u help me out?
I'm also new to the sport, i'm 12 years old too.. i am working hard every tuesday and thursday, and this is all i want. I told my dad that i wanted to try to skate with him, he said, yeah sure. Me and my dad went to the rink, it was the first time for me to stand on ice for a very long time, it was really really har for me, i told my dad that i wanted to start play hockey.. but he said no, i was 11 years old then, and now i am 12, i went to hockey school. the trainers told me i looked good on the skates. ofcourse because iv'e trained alot on my spirit time.. and now im here, i can do every move in hockey. i'm proud of my self.
this is rlly awesome and motivational for me bc i played my first year of hockey last year at 13 yo for a house team and this year i just made my organizations 07 AA team
Way to go Jonas!
@@howtohockeytraining thanks I am 10 I started playing when I was 7 because of COVID I couldn’t play for 1 year and my hockey team is making me wait months to get in the team and gave me 2 practices a week and later made it 1 and also my public skating starts when school starts and closes when school is over so I have no ice time all I can do is shooting Practice
What should I do
Man I started playing hockey 3 years ago in Korea, moved to Toronto an year ago and yet I am having trouble finding a GTHL A/AA team willing to take me...but he already made AAA from HL in 2 years? Salute to this guy.
keeping it modest, its true I started at 15 and made captain of my high school team by 18 senior year. I tell you everyone was better than me, but if you put in the work and have the passion you can excel faster than anyone who becomes complacent and thinks they're good enough already. The truth is you never stop improving if you set a new goal for yourself every time you're on the ice. Keep it up nick!
I live in Ontario and after watching his hockey clips I just think back and realize that the rink I go to for house league at bantam level is do much more advances than his. I almost make the select team every year but I don't. House league is starting back up in 5 months so I'm training now as hard as I can to make it to select and eventually up to hub or single A. This video really helped me out, thanks.
I didn’t start learn to play till I was 12 and have only skated for a year and a few months but I have gotten good enough to go into house this fall
I started in house hockey for 2 years and now I play AA all because of how to hockey vids
I started playing hockey about a year and a half ago and i'm twelve and no one in my family played hockey before and no really thought I would be very good. but thanks to your videos im now the best player on my travel team. keep it up! :) How To Hockey
I'm 15 and just starting. I'm nervous because I also started late and I've always
Player roller hockey with friends but I'm nervous about starting now
I'm 14 and have been playing house for 2 years. I have varsity tryouts for my high school team coming up. I really hope I make it
i started 11 months ago and i'm the leading scorer on my team and the captain. I practiced every day, so if you think that if you started late, its no worry just practice and you'll get it.
Great advice Milen!
How To Hockey Thanks Jeremy your videos really help me. You inspired me not to stop believing in myself
house right
Yeah. You have to play 3 years to be in travel. But there are some guys who also play for travel on other house teams.
how old are you bro?
I've been playing for 3 yrs and now am a top goal scorer on my 16 AAA teams so this can happen
I turn 14 in a week and I started 2 months ago at 13. My grandpa signed me up for learn to play lessons. Every one is 4-7 and I’m twice their size but that doesn’t stop me. I already learned how to stop and skate, and now I can pass and shoot. My grandpa loves the Bruins, along with my uncle and my dad liked the Whalers when they were in Hartford (when he was still alive.) It’s been a year and a half since I’ve been obsessed with this sport. I told myself that I would only make the men’s league but my coaches are telling me I’ll make the varsity team at my high school next year and my grandpa says I’ll make it to the nhl. Thank you Jeremy for your helpful videos. Thanks to you, I’ve been able to come a long way in such a short time with so little.
last year i played b my team got 5 wins in the season this season i played a and we got 7 wins, my coach always tells me he sees potential and that im doing good but im kinda scared to move on to 16u because if i dont make aa i cant play travel anymore any tips for offseason like workouts that will keep me in shape
Started just a year ago in a learn to play thing my rink had did that for a few months then I joined a house team halfway through the season. I played on a spring team then during the summer then coaches of the spring sent an email asking if I wanted to try out for there team which was a AA travel. ended up making the team and my couches are amazed at how good I can play and are always pushing me to do my best.
How do you go to NCAA hockey league? And how do we go into NHL after that??
Did you go to house league then A,then AA and then AAA in two years? Plz respond
5 years ago, I played my first season of hockey at age 7 (I'm 12 now). I was just playing tier 6 house league. There was one year where I almost was placed on the worse team in my organization. I played for fun and just enjoyed it. Last summer, I said to my dad after a camp "Dad, I want to play more...competitively,". He said "Well, you never know,"
Fast forward to this season (2013-14) and I was trying out for my rep team. Somehow, I got past the first round of cuts. "Omg, I actually got past it," Then, I got past the second round of cuts. "I actually have a legitimate chance of making the team," I was waiting in the hallway, to enter the coaches room. I was one of the first ones to go in, and somehow, they said I made it on the team.
So I went from playing tier 6 hockey, trying to make it one level higher, to playing on a Peewee AA team against some of the best players in the province. I got to go to the Alberta Winter Game tryouts, and now I'm vying for a Bantam AAA spot.
Long story short, a lot can change in one year. There was a few times where the coaches said "This kid came from the lowest tier, and he's being one of the best players on the ice. He's showing work ethic, and not giving up," Probably sound cocky, but this past year has been life changing.
Van Trieu hey man, how’s it going now?
i play roller hockey do you got any tips becuase i just started about 1 month
Thats crazy thats exactly what happened to me playin street hockey at like eleven on the house team at 12 then bantam and bantam aaa at 14 holy crap
I am trying out for a AA bantam team and i was in peewee A minor black team for the PAHL. Does anyone have some tips for me in tryouts?
I am 12 and really want 2 play hockey I have been on the ice before I am fast skating but I have trouble with skating backwards and stoping. I think I am going 2 try house hockey leage this year. Do u have any advice for me?
Ty Hansen so how’d it go? Lol it’s been 4 years
Lizard yo facts
Jeremy, thank you for helping me and everybody else out. I have been playing hockey since i was 3 and i am still not on a travel team. i have been asked to try out and stuff but me and my family just don't have the money at the time. I promise you i am trying the best i can. I am really working at it and i can't seem to play for that travel team. I do play on a travel roller hockey team because that is a lot cheaper but it is my dream to play in a minor team or even just a tear or travel team. thanks again jeremy.
What is travel?
I just started and I'm now 13 and hope to get into a good league too. And I have also been practicing really hard and have been doubting myself about how I started too late and that I should've started when I was 3 if I wanted to be successful
I am 11years old and now I play peewee aaa for Toronto Marlies jr team last year I played Atom aaa for the Toronto Marlies jr team.
Hey coach this is inspiring for me. I know this is awhile ago but I actually did the same thing as this kid witch is really cool and I feel for this kid
Thats so awesome! Gives me hope!
Yep my son started playing hockey @ 7 and now he just turned 11 and is in AAA hockey (Playing for Golden State Elite)....Dedication can take a long way. He watches your videos a lot. I love this video , I know and see how dedicated he is to make it to bantam AAA
Amazing
Who u calling amazing?
Debra Switkowski thanks, Amazing neighbor
Hey my name is nick and I'm 12 years old wanting to play hockey and all year I've been shooting and stick handling but I live in Missouri and it's not cold all year around so I can't really ice skate a lot so I was wondering if you could tell me how to start skating backwards after you started going forwards.
Well im 13 years old finnish boy. That gave me motivation to play hockey cause ive been thinking about it and i will not give up like him :)
What a amazing story! Does he have a youtube channel
i started at 16 after not playing since i was 5. sure i don't have enough time to progress to make a AAA team but i'm 17 now playing in the mens league and I've never had more fun with a sport. Its impossible to "not be good enough" to play a sport. Play it for the love of the game!
Did he purposely try out for aaa or do you have to tryout for aaa when trying out for aa a and ae?
I started playing when I was 16..... trying out for varsity now as a senior
This is my 2 year playing hockey and I practiced everyday and then I signed up for house and in my 1 seasons with that team I scored 8 goals and got 12 assist.
Ive played roller hockey for 7 years. The first time i went on ice skates was like 11 or 12. Im trying out for house in 2 weeks (im 13) and I hope my story can be as good as Nicks...
Great story. Great advice and great site Jeremy. My little guy is 4 years old, he's been skating since he was 3. His love of the game comes from him alone. I grew up playing and obsessed with basketball. But my son got a mini-stick set at 2 1/2 and never let it go. I want to share in my kid's love of the game, so I've been watching your videos so I can skate along with him this winter and I'll be joining an adult learn to play hockey program here in Toronto. Your site has been an incredible resource, from learning how to tape a stick to the intricacies of the game. I'm in love with the game now, and have probably watched more hockey in the last 2 years than I have in 35 years :) Wishing you all the best and success with the site and your business. You deserve it!
I dropped out of AAA and playing select. It’s so fun just scoring 5 goals a game and having fun with no competition.
I started 1 month before I turned 15. Well, I'm still 15. Didn't score
any goals as a freshman in HS. Assists? Maybe 12. Never too late. I
played roller hockey for 5 years and didn't step into ice skates until
my 14th birthday. Didn't fall once. I didn't touch a puck on ice until
less than a year ago. We just won the State championship, plan on doing
Varsity next season. Not bragging, just sharing my story about how you
can do anything you set your mind to :)
that sucks that they did that to ya man, I'm really sorry. you can contact me on twitter @sgdoestwitt or on instagram @shawnglade
Dany Heatley that's great! You don't have to listen what others are saying, you don't have to be Connor mcdavid at age 15. Just pick what your good at and really hammer those down. As long as you are effective in some way on the ice, it doesn't matter how good you are
Great job kid, you have improved immensely.
I play Atom AA and I am so close to AAA! I play for the second highest team you can play for in minor hockey
Started hockey when I was 2 weeks old now I’m 99 and I’m a complete beauty
Thats crazy my name is nick and i started playing hockey at 12 years old now im 14 years old and ive pratice really hard haha i cant believe i hav the same story
I played HL last season and I made atom AAA for 2014-2015
I've been playing street hockey my whole life and always loved it and then 2 years ago I wanted to play ice so I started Dek Hockey leagues and moved my way up practicing skating which I was really bad at first but after a year and a half and 2 seasons of Bantam House League with 8 Goals and 2 Assists 4 Blocked Shots +/- 6 in 14 games i'm playing on my Schools Varsity team and still pushing everyday to try and make college hockey. Trust me when I say my parents aren't rich whatsoever and I had to work my way up as much as possible. Some people even said I worked way too hard but if you want something that bad hard work and dedication get you there.
There's in-house for hockey? Where I'm from even the C teams go out of state and travel for games and tournaments
Started Atom hockey (When rep starts) at 9. I'm 10 and I play A
Could anybody link me some good hockey training videos, because I want to follow a path like this.
I really like this. Very cool !
Awesome story. Good job man, keep working hard.
Shows what dedication and training the correct way could do! His shot got amazingly better within one year. 2:13
great story. congrats!
Have only been skating a year 😂 I'm 15 haven't played a game yet about to get into one soon and hopefully will be able to get into a game for jv for my high school
I played rec my whole life until last season where I played AA I achieved it by working hard and training daily everyone told me I sucked back in rec and now I'm playing AAA. It proves that hard work and determination can get you anywhere.
I started playing club last year and they put me on B which was really disappoint, but I really worked my butt of and I earned tryouts for the valley forge minutemen. Hopefully I make it
Jeremy any help on how to balance high school wrestling as well as 18aa or a hockey at the same time?
From my experience you must choose, I started hockey at 18 in Uni at the UK, along with jiu jitsu and a few other things. By second year, I was playing about 10 hours a week and did not have enough time for the other things so they had to be dropped, its your choice but I would put all of your eggs into one basket if you want to truly excel
I've wrestled my whole like until this past winter when I decided that I wanted to give hockey a go, I played pond hockey every single day and spend countless hours skating and shooting pucks, some of my friends who have been playing their whole lives talked me into playing high school hockey this next season, I've been preparing all summer just trying to do anything I can to improve. Let's just say I have all the heart in the world and I love the game. I can't wait to lace up and go score some goals!!
I need help in hockey I'm good at skating, dangles but I'm really small I don't really know how to shoot but I'm in bantam first year and I was goalie for two years this is my first year out have any advice?
Hey Nick u probably won't see this but I was wondering what team u play for now. Is it the Titans AAA with Tyler D? I play at Brick this year but I played AA Titans last year I'm a first year bantam right now and I've probably been on the ice with you at some point. My names Seamus (Sheamus is how it's pronounced) so ya. Good luck in ur season this year if ur on Titans, wildcats, brick, or redbank. hope to see ya around.
I've only played for a year and i made a AAA team but don't have the money so im trying out for a AA team
I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.
i started hockey last year. I'm fourteen now, and trying to make a high school hockey team. I try to believe in myself, and i just found out that one of my friends was cut from the same team. He started when he was two years old. I understand that believing in yourself is a huge part, but it baffles me that my friend was cut, and it kinda worries me.
Wow this is sick!!!
Great job nick! ;)
I was a mite in house and my parents told me about this travel tryout for the "Ice Jets" so I went not even expecting to make any of the A AA or AAA teams so I did the tryouts and 30 mins later the lists for the 3 teams came out I looked for my number on the A team first not there the AA team not there and then the AAA team and there it was in the middle of the list I was shocked so I signed my contract and had one of my best seasons on that team. I just wanted to share this and also say that you're videos are a big part of my skill set today and I want to thank you so much Coach Jeremy.
I am a defenseman
im astonished great job
Jeremy I have the same decision to make. I’m 12 and the season will start. I would just be entering bantams. I’ve been watching your videos and getting on the ice as much as I can.
You’re gonna do great, you can’t be better than everyone but you can be more dedicated than everyone. Just work on anything you can to build strength; any kind of work out like hiking or running will help. Work on your shot, even if you don’t have a net, just shoot at the garage door. Your dad will yell at you but that’s a small price to pay if you love the game. Good luck. I’m a Bantam this year (I was supposed to be one last year but the cut me to Peewees because I simply wasn’t ready) and I love the sport enough to know I’ll be playing my whole life, even though I’ll never have the time or money for travel. You’re doing great getting on the ice. That’s what you need. The best of luck to you, dude.
Wow thank you so much this means a lot to me
No problem
I played when I was little in house and local, then for four years I was a goalie after that, I skipped a year of bantam and decided to lace up my skates and be a forward in major bantam local league. this year I play midget local, and I've improved since the last year but I still don't know how im gonna get into the higher levels because I branched off from a forward a long time ago and only came back two years ago.
I'm almost but not quite the same as him I started hockey when I was ten and now I'm 13 and now I'm playing bantam AA
Hey coach! I'd like to know what type of environment was he in to achieve the rate of progression that he did? How often was he on the ice a week? What type of training did he have who was training him?
I play 14u AAA, I'll just tell you what I do. 4-5 off-ice sessions a week (A healthy mix of conditioning and weights), 3-4 (closer to 8 for tourneys and showcases) skates a week, dieting - if I have a weightlifting day I drink protein shakes after my workouts. Don't forget work other than that in the gym, stick handling drills help a lot. If you're looking for someone to train with, try to find someone that specializes in sport training.

Thanks kid I’m actually I coach out In Michigan. I also trained my son he’s been skating since five. Check him out on IG jaylen_scores09
