Check out current top players (mcdavid, Crosby, bedard, etc). Their top hand is almost glued to the top of their hip as their base position when they have the puck. You become much more versatile and agile.
He’s mostly talking about in stride when skating. You never want it tucked in when in stride and stick handling. However You do bring it closer to your body for a quick snapper, a deek or within traffic which is often.
@@kirkelleson642 that's what better players do though. Maybe full speed forward stride where you have one hand on your stick. Linear crossovers and shuffle strides/corkscrew dominate the majority of skating in games now and the better players keep their top hand very close to their hip unless making some specific dekes or shooting.
@@koehlza no they don’t. I’ve played hockey since 5yrs old so i personally know from experience. It may look closer when seeing from your tv but proper technique is hand off your hip and not glued to it as your wrists will also guide your elbow. Quick and fast stick handling to set up a rapid shot maybe. It might be closer like 6-10” But top hand should never ibe “glued” to the hip.
@@kirkelleson642 we might be arguing over semantics and definition of "glued". I'm not trying to say it's literally attached to your hip, but much closer than the gap he was trying to show as proper technique. He literally says to keep your top hand out and then when he demonstrates pulls it back in. I've also played hockey since I was 5 and the game is a lot different now, players are much more skilled, but some coaches are still using a lot of outdated techniques.
Pavel Datsyuk, the Russian magician should open up his own hockey school. I would love to learn skating, stick handling and keeping/control the puck skills from him. He dedicated his training to keeping the puck on his stick at all times while being attacked by opponents.
I wish we had coaches like this in the 90’s when I was playing youth hockey. Im 39 now and still being able to improve little things despite my age to implement into my (mediocre), yet competitive and quite fisty beer league.
Form is objective. Everyone’s form is different because our bodies are different. Crosby and McDavid do not follow this style of stickhandling. That doesn’t mean what this coach is saying is wrong. But he has to keep in mind that if everyone skated, stickhandled, passed, and shot the same exact way you’d have a lot of players hindering themselves. Watch Kaprisov stickhandle too that is another big example.
“Objective” = “not open to different interpretations; i.e. verifiable/factual; Or, “without bias”. _”Subjective”_ is the word that describes something that has “more than one correct answer”; Or, something that is not based on logic/facts.
But none of them are good stickhandlers! Listen to this guy so you become a great stickhandler and learn from the mistakes of older players with wrong training regimes from the dark age of hockey...
I think his main point was top hand initiates and bottom hand supports. I interpreted the arm out comment to be more about when skating hard up the ice- with or without the puck.
A lot of the stuff you see in these videos comes naturally over time. Nobody sat down and thought about how you should do this or that, they just did it. Everything in sports is made up at some point. There's no blueprint.
I get what he’s saying but nobody skates that low when stick handling lol and the strides he teaches aren’t the most accurate either but definitely a good coach 💯
Not just the top, like literally every single player tucks the hand in to their body. I don’t think this guy knows what he’s talking about, either that or NHL players are clearly playing incorrectly. 😂
Love what he is saying but right after what he says he puts his hand on his hip! I will say I have played hockey my entire life and I am a hip stick handler. I have a theory that people who can skate very well stick handle on the hip and those who aren't blessed in skating skill stick handle better off the body..... don't know if it is true just something I have noticed
This is the first video this guy has ever created that could actually be useful to travel teams and Elite Youth Hockey players. A lot of high school players could benefit from extending arms and rolling the top-hand wrist.
Yeah…top hand should be “in the pocket.” Maybe that’s an exaggeration, maybe he’s exaggerating to prove a point. But he should have used that expression. Your top hand should be in the pocket. The best players do this unless they are doing something specific or pushing the puck ahead with a full head of steam. Then it might pop out more.
“No puck handler in the NHL skates like this (with their top hand tucked near their body)” Then at 0:54 dude IMMEDIATELY tucks his hand into his body as he handles the puck. Also, I’m watching NHL playoff hockey and literally every single player handling the puck tucks their hand into their body, seriously watch ANY NHL player handle the puck. Either everyone else (including himself) is wrong in how they handle the puck or this dude is just spinning a tale. 🤷🏻♂️
The little kid in the back 😂 it’s literally me when coaches explaining
Same lol
Same
Same
My coach wouldve killed us if we did that wtf
im pretty sure i absorbed like 10% of the words my coaches ever said lol
I am now qualified to manage the mighty ducks
And the jets😢😢
Only Gordon Bombay is qualified to manage the Mighty Ducks
You might be qualified to manage the Ducks-But, as long as _this Man_ is around…

"They keep their arms off the body." He then immediately puts his arm against his body.
I had to watch it twice......
I was looking for this comment😂
Lol
His stick is TOO long
This guy puts so much unnecessary effort into everything he does.
immediately brings the stick back in at the end of the video.....
The top hand in his ribs at the end was pure gold!😂
You mean through the whole video
Like he said not to do, right? So confusing
Immediately went back to the body lol
I’m about to be 35 and just started playing ice and these tips are super helpful 😅😄
But he goes elbow to rib cage when he’s stick handling lmao
Those that can't do teach, as they say.
It’s more about his arm being off the body which he does his hand is what’s close to the body
That's why he's not in the NHL lol
*I do the “hand to pork sword” alot
Nope, elbow was out hand was in on the body, read a book
Check out current top players (mcdavid, Crosby, bedard, etc). Their top hand is almost glued to the top of their hip as their base position when they have the puck. You become much more versatile and agile.
So true, I only play my back arm out when receiving hard sauce or on an on-hand snapshot

There are 4 year olds out there that will listen to this guy and take it all in
@@tylergifford2063 4 year olds don't even know English yet... I got a nephew so i know this stuff!!!!
If you shoot for the stars you might end up on the moon.
@@v4v819 weird I coach kids from 3 to 8 there are some 3 year olds out there that listen 100x better than any teenager
They know. They know he talks nice and loud, and has crazy strong legs, and that the camera is rolling.

This is how fast I can go with two hands- loses puck immediately with no pressure
Hockey has such cool natural sounds
Greatest sport on earth. Most underrated as well.
easy sabs dubs over bruins lets goo

you can tell how they initiate stickhandling?

Playing youth ice hockey was one of the greatest times of my life.
Me too man😢... although i wasnt able to play untill i was 13 so i didnt get that many years in and we were too broke for rep
@@Latviešu_Amēlija Play now. Beer league is massive. Adult leagues are literally everywhere now.
I am a 39 year old man who lived a great life so far in Massachusetts. Youth Hockey up to 18 was some of the greatest things ive experienced.
Everything he's saying is spot on exactly how my coach was with us
These kids are lucky to be in his presence!!
I laid down on the ice but I didnt get better at stick handling. In fact it became more difficult.
Then, you obviously need more practice, and more Fiber in your diet.
I think his main point was top hand initiates and bottom hand supports.
I interpreted the arm out comment to be more about when skating hard up the ice- with or without the puck.
Ok Mr. Stranger on the Internet, you've got a deal.
Top notch bro😂
Stick your arm out *stickhandles with his hand at his body*
And this is why left handed players are so prevalent in hockey. Because many right handed players play left because their top hand is key.
I am a youth hockey player this helps me a lot
This is as fast as I can goooooo 😂love it
Good fundamentals 🙌🏼🤘🏼
Sometimes I love these videos because it brings me right back to early morning practices when I was a little guy.
I play beer league and I watch videos like this all the time. You literally never stop learning.
Your vids are top-flight man!
This coach managed to hold the kids attention AND the parents at the same time lol
Amazing coach
Fantastic channel, great tips.
"The lower you are, the easier it is to control", sounds like dribbling at a quick pace. Wish I got the chance to play hockey as a kid
you can still try man , theres adult leagues for entry level players . you can even go try a pickup game with openice usually on weekends
Great teacher
What a coach! The goddamn best!
I feel like I learned things I'll never use but still appreciate it.
"keep arms off the body" says go and immediately places his top hand close to his body.
Proceeds to stick handle with arm in close to the body haha
Still love these videos
Always wear a helmet when playing hockey or a coaching
“The lower you are to the ice, the easier it is to control the puck!” & get a concussion in the process if someone decides to rock you!
This explains why most hockey players are left handed.
I haven't played since a was a wee lad, but yeah it always felt perfect for me, being a leftie
Nailed it..100% right
taking wayyyyy to complex for the little dudes
Another good example of puck handling technique is Taylor Hall, one of the best puck carriers in the NHL.
I'm gonna lay down on the ice handling the puck , can't get lower than that
A lot of the stuff you see in these videos comes naturally over time. Nobody sat down and thought about how you should do this or that, they just did it. Everything in sports is made up at some point. There's no blueprint.
I'm astonished anyone would make this error.
Ight cool now I just need to learn how to ice skate
His exaggerated wide stances, strides and movements in every video are something you see with these trainers, but rarely, if ever with pros.
Have you ever trained? It HAS to be exaggerated to show exactly what the movements are.
I get what he’s saying but nobody skates that low when stick handling lol and the strides he teaches aren’t the most accurate either but definitely a good coach 💯
Great vid 🏒💪
Truth there.
This makes me want to be a kid and learn hockey lol
Damn. He's a good teacher. I wish I played hockey when I was younger.
Same. It’s so cool to skate well as an adult.
Man I miss practices... I miss it all..
As someone who plays roller hockey, I still find it mind blowing how he can just easily slide his skates out like that to get a lower stance
Ice helps.
Dude lost it when he was going slow and when he tried to go fast. What a scam lol
Arms off the body but goes back to the body 🫤
Hips down, knees bent, elbows out.
oh my god, AustenAlexanderTV was spot on
i've heard the arm out thing... then i watch the nhl and everyone has their arm pretty close to their side.
Did he just go back to stick handling close to the body?
nhl top player has their stick to their hip. they dont have hands far away from body.
Not just the top, like literally every single player tucks the hand in to their body. I don’t think this guy knows what he’s talking about, either that or NHL players are clearly playing incorrectly. 😂
@@zebdawson3687 great comment !!!
No one told me to stick handle with my top hand until i aged out :(
It’s all preference
Is that at Donovan Oshawa?
Well I found out I was doing things wrong for 16 years 😂
“Keep the arm off the body” then demonstrates with arm tucked into the body
The Nike tech though
Love what he is saying but right after what he says he puts his hand on his hip! I will say I have played hockey my entire life and I am a hip stick handler. I have a theory that people who can skate very well stick handle on the hip and those who aren't blessed in skating skill stick handle better off the body..... don't know if it is true just something I have noticed
"But when do we play???"
You are supposed to have a more firm bottom hand and use your top for the stick handling
He's stick handling with his top hand in his body.
I watched that and was like what you don’t use your bottom hand
sounds like a newfie😂
This is the first video this guy has ever created that could actually be useful to travel teams and Elite Youth Hockey players. A lot of high school players could benefit from extending arms and rolling the top-hand wrist.
Don’t discredit his other stuff
Bottom hand ONLY adds support... haha. AA at it's finest
This video gave me PTSD
Thats some mew york kind of coach 😂
Sounds a little like Canada.
No way this is the rink I used to play in as a kid, I broke that glass behind him twice 🤣 He might have actually been one of our trainers
That stance looks like a good way to get your head taken off
Tyler Kennedy has training videos and he basically says do the opposite in close,isolation,control,technique and he’s made it to the show
Yeah, this guy seems to be making it up as he goes. Something about him seems off.
The dude's arm is on his body everytime he goes to puck handle...
Imagine paying thousands of dollars for your 7 your old to hear/see this
I remember my first day coaching football (soccer) too…..
These kids are going to talk about you forever. A good coach changes lives
Yeah…top hand should be “in the pocket.” Maybe that’s an exaggeration, maybe he’s exaggerating to prove a point. But he should have used that expression. Your top hand should be in the pocket.

Open invitation to the rib cage *wink wink nudge nudge* 😏
Thank you for the tips I have progressed at home so quickly
Is that Nike tech
If only this guy knew how to play hockey… 😂
UNLESS you have a goofy lie on your blade.
Is this donavon arena in oshawa or am i wrong?
how come sidney crosby keeps his left hand close to his body and he's the best?
Coach the leafs, they need it
literally failed both times
Absolutely
Is this Donevan Rec?
