Do coaches teach young players to keep their heads up anymore? I'm always watching players skate with their heads down more than ever. I know I was taught to keep your head up. Being a true hockey player my friends & I would always look to catch each other with our heads down to level one another. It's all friends off the ice but on the ice they are my enemies.
As someone who has played hockey for 12 years, this isn’t anything new to me and I’ve been through things like this but it’s just hilarious seeing his reaction
fact - Mar 10 2014 Dallas vs Columbus - 7 min into the game, Rich Peverly went into cardiac arrest on the bench. They stopped the match & used a defibrillator to revive him. Stunned, he asked to go back into the game thinking he had only passed out. haha Canadians : /
Soccer is for women who want to be actresses for faking injuries....Hockey is for men that have to wear jock straps to keep those big balls from getting hit with a frozen puck.
When is the last time a Canadian team held the Cup? If we where to go by that, then id say Sweden is more relevant currently than Canada is. 2008 Stanley Cup Champions: Detroit Red Wings/Half of Sweden.

I played American football most of my childhood life through high school and even played 2 years in a small d3 college, after I got out moved to a city that had a men’s hockey league and found out first hand that hockey is so much more fun in certain ways and really physical. All I’ll say is the first time I got hip checked didn’t have any damn idea where the fuck I was.
FMJ7.62 Xring I just started hitting with boys. And as I am the only girl on the team it’s pretty rough. We got the kids that try to lay me out, because I am a girl 😂 (prolly cause I’m better than them ngl).
I grew up playing ice hockey. One sport where if someone stays down, it’s because they’re legitimately hurt and not trying to get penalties called against the other team.
Yo dude thats just how hockey is. The grittier team wins. Its why the underdog team will win most of the time. If they are grittier then the win (most of the time). If you wanna see some real messed up stuff look up players fighting. Its nothing to joke about its a real fight. Its in my opinion one of the best parts of the game.
Hey Adam, I just found your channel and loved your reaction to this video, especially you peering through your chair!...lol I'm a 59 year old Canadian living in Romania and played competitive hockey for over 40 years. Just for the record, the majority of the players in NHL are Canadian born and just happen to play in the U.S. as the over whelming majority of teams are located there. I can't tell you the amount of concussions, broken noses and other assorted injuries I've endured over the years, not to mention the knee and back problems I suffer with daily. But having said that, I wouldn't give up even a minute of my playing experience, as hockey is a game of passion and intestinal fortitude second to none. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy in all professional sport to win. We play because we love the game, like all athletes in any sport. I've since viewed many of your vids and please keep up the great work. Wish you the best! A Canadian in Romania.
Great video! Someone show this man the "Clint Malarchuk" video, STAT! Hockey hurts, but its nothing compared to a soccer player having his ear flicked by an opposing players finger😀. Sorry, had to throw that in, hockey does have its share of divers too. Look up Sedin sisters. And check out the hockey player that died on the bench, asked to still play when revived in dressing room😳
Hockey is the most beautiful sport ever. You have everything in there: speed, agility, technique, robustness, violence, physical contact, name it, you have it all!
ChuggaasNo1Fan Canadians aren’t the only ones who play. Majority of hockey players are probably Canadian but people all around the world play hockey especially in places in Europe and the USA. I am American but I lived in Canada since I was 2-10 years old and that’s how I fell in love with hockey and when my family came back to America I started playing on a team mixed with Canadians, Swiss, and Americans. All of them were good and talented.
@@seanobrien9797 correct but hockey is also the fastest full contact sport on the planet... played on a frozen surface where bare-knuckle fighting is the arbiter for Unwritten rules and it's literally encompassed by a wall.
When I was 13, I played Bantam AA for the first time, I was about 5'6" and 145 and there was kid on the other team who was 6'3" and 230. This kid absolutley decked me open ice (this was the 4th game of the season so I was still getting used to hitting) and I got a bad concussion. A few months earlier, I har played for a AA travel team and the same exact thing happened but I hit my head off the boards rather than the Ice.
You did watch the big hits, some are legal hits and some dirty and they go about 30 to 48Km hour or 20 to 30miles per hour also you can look at it, stand there and let a car going 20 to 30miles hour and let it hit ya lol that's how us Canadian's roll.
@digital warfare Yep. Best EVER. It's my opinion but he was great fun to watch. Plus, being from Detroit I am biased. There's some great handlers out there but he was unmatched in my book.
Ah North Americans are funny. Stick with irrelevant sports. Once you can play a sport that requires skill instead of being fat and running into people to defend then talk
JDT T at least they don’t train to flop like a pussy also hockey requires skill in skating stick handling and shooting without falling in your ass soccer you literally need to run and kick
Your info is wrong. Stick and ball games date back to pre-christian times and it was brought to Canada by British soldiers and immigrants. Yall always trying to take credit huh
Actually if you look back at the history of ice hockey, it can be argued that it started in Minneapolis. Read Gretzky's 99 stories of the game and he gets into it. Good book but not as nearly as interesting at Fleury's or as Proberts. Those two partied hard
@@dallasphillips6497 First off if English is your first language use proper grammar. Two, that doesn't change the fact it's Canadian and mostly Canadian players.
@@broig9895 43% Canadian, 26% American and the rest from Europe and Russia. So you are correct. Maybe Adam confuses things because most of teams are in the United states.
soccer player decides to play hockey, so joins a hockey team. Sees that you can get hit and the other guy get penalized, just like in soccer. he thinks great, I can just take a dive and get my team an advantage (you know that famous soccer dive that no one really believes but once in a while they get away with it). So at the next opportunity.. down he goes.. play continues.. he doesn't understand. he tries this a couple more times with the same result. the other team understands what he is trying to do and decide to give him what he wants... next shift, one by one each player smashes him into the boards (no penalties). Then on his next shift he gets close to the goalie. just a little to close. he gets tapped from the goalie... another... and another. Seeing the goalie didn't get a penalties for pushing, decides to push the goalie back. I think you know what happened next for everyone else. All he knows is; now he is in the back with a neck brace on and a doctor telling him he has to go to the hospital, but not to worry this team will take full advantage of the 2 min advantage they now had. Not sure if this is a real story or not, but ask yourself this... how may former soccer players do you know that have played hockey, and stayed playing after they realize the truth?
I have been watching hockey for 57 years. Hockey players are as tough as tough gets. Not only by getting pulverized like in this video but by getting hit by a frozen rubber steel hard missile going 100mph. Getting hit in the ankle by the puck and you have a whole new insight into pain. Getting hit hard enough that back on the bench you pull one or two of your teeth and say “not again”! Or, need 15-20 stitches? No problem and you are back playing 10 minutes later. Then think about the goalies in the 60’s. No mask! Some of those guys looked like Frankenstein’s monster or worse! Good reaction. I enjoyed it!
@@StlBluesFan1231 Canadians are North Americans. You can keep the term American for yourselves, Canadians and probably everyone else on the Americas, would like like to be mixed up with you lot.
Thats why Hockey is the hardest,most intense and best Sport on Earth.Thats Power! You should do a Hockey Fight compilation reaction. Nice Video thanks man!
6:04 The top skaters are into the 40+km/hr range whereas most of the game is played with the skaters travelling in high 20km/hr to high 30’s pushing 40+ when full out which is when a lot of those big hits happen..oh and often both guys going those speeds in opposing directions 🙈. The puck is frozen vulcanized rubber and the hardest shots in a game would be 150 Km/hr range. Passes regularly would be upwards of 100km/hr...getting hit by the puck anywhere but where pads are hurts like an MFer. Not to mention guys love to us their sticks as weapon to give you a quick whack on the wrists if they think they can get away with it. Brutal sport but amazing to play.
Adam, if you want to see what can really happen in hockey. Clint Malarchuk is one example of the craziest most unlucky thing that can happen. I'm warning, you will cringe. You've been warned.
"I feel their pain from tackles" Mate better be ready, after watching hockey hits you boutta leave your room on a stretcher lmao. Hockey ain't no "oh no i fell im hurt" Ahahaha
As a Canadian raised on the ice I can answer your question simply. We are raised in a completely different culture, the ice is a warzone and when I was a kid hockey became full contact around age 12-13. So we were slowly eased into bigger and bigger hits. There is one rule in hockey we all try to live by, KEEP YOUR FUCKING HEAD UP!!
It looks even faster in person. The camera tracking them takes away from the speed of it. Flat out these guys go 25-30 mph or 40-48 kph. Faster than Usain Bolt.
@@Wolvieonepunch except that one time he got fucking stopped by Ristolainen, charging up for a big hit and falling down on the ice himself, while Rasmus was standing still😂
I find it hilarious to watch the reactions of someone who has never played hockey. The sport is beautiful and lethal. I played for 13 years and I miss it so much. Have a like, and welcome to the game!
Connor McDavid from the Edmonton Oilers goes over 40kph and is proven to be the fastest NHL skater out there (three time winner of the test). Yeah getting hit by a 200 pound (or more) guy at that speed is going to hurt you. Believe it or not it was worse in many ways before when they didn't have helmets or most of the pads. Fighting is also fairly normal in games. This is one of Canada's national sports, the other being Lacrosse (yes, both involve sticks that can be used as weapons and bouncing people around like cotton balls and yes, slashing and cross checking (stick held horizontally and rammed into a person or used like a fricking greatsword to open someone up shoulder to knee) does happen (though it's supposed to be penalised as is hooking (using your stick to trip a skater). HERE is a video of Connor McDavid and professionals trying to explain what he does: ua-cam.com/video/kD7777f2XM4/v-deo.html In this video he goes end to end in a rink, attains a speed of 40.9kph while handling a puck, avoiding defenders, and scoring a goal. Enjoy and welcome to the wonderful world of Hockey.
@@liamdowney8484 Agreed. They've also really gone heavy into enforcement of head shots (understandable after the whole Todd Bertuzzi / Steve Moore episode and several others where guys were checked so hard head first into the boards they were out for a season and never the same again). Being physical in a game does not mean attacking a guy from behind and breaking his neck. While some say there is zero room in hockey for physical contact it would ruin the game. While I find fighting absurd myself (if you can't control your emotions you don't belong on the ice) there are other ways, legal ways in the game to handle things without slashing or hooking a guy. I prefer a skilled game to a violent one myself but the hits serve a purpose, to try and shake a guy loose from a puck or prevent a pass or goal that, if done properly, are safe (er) and legal within the game. Think about basketball. If a guy is planted and you run into him he didn't charge you.
Adam, I have one for you and you'll love it! " Craziest angry coach moments in NHL history". Everyone is fighting with everyone and it starts with the coaches. It's hysterical!
thexmark7 i ref hockey and a bunch of those hits are shoulder to head, hands to the head, clipping the player’s leg, about 40% of those hits would be penalties
I played Hockey until I washed out at 22, Then I boxed for a couple years, and finally played rugby until I was 28. Now at 55 I see halos' circling every light source and about twice a minute It looks like a flashbulb going off in my left eye. I have obviously done some permanent damage to myself.

They do suspend players for hits to the head. Hockey doesn't really need enforcers anymore.
That is also the same thing in football, keep your head up and on a swivel so you dont get blindsided.
Key word WAS. The league now lacks a lot of it.
Also you want to keep injuries down put the red line back in the game.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BOYS!!! some of these hits are considered illegal now
Some? all of these are suspensions now lol
All hits to the head are suspensions if its a big hit to the shoulder with some shoulder to shoulder contact its completly legall just no head contact
Yeah try 90% of these lol. It's a new NHL

Good thing about getting hit in Hockey is that whatever injury occurs you can put ice on it immediately.
haha
Soccer: act like you’re hurt... hockey: act like you’re not.... both tremendous athletes in both sports tho.. dig the channel
Soccer is for women who want to be actresses for faking injuries....Hockey is for men that have to wear jock straps to keep those big balls from getting hit with a frozen puck.

Hey Adam,
I just found your channel and loved your reaction to this video, especially you peering through your chair!...lol
I'm a 59 year old Canadian living in Romania and played competitive hockey for over 40 years. Just for the record, the majority of the players in NHL are Canadian born and just happen to play in the U.S. as the over whelming majority of teams are located there.
I can't tell you the amount of concussions, broken noses and other assorted injuries I've endured over the years, not to mention the knee and back problems I suffer with daily. But having said that, I wouldn't give up even a minute of my playing experience, as hockey is a game of passion and intestinal fortitude second to none. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy in all professional sport to win. We play because we love the game, like all athletes in any sport.
I've since viewed many of your vids and please keep up the great work. Wish you the best!

I am American but I lived in Canada since I was 2-10 years old and that’s how I fell in love with hockey and when my family came back to America I started playing on a team mixed with Canadians, Swiss, and Americans. All of them were good and talented.

When I was 13, I played Bantam AA for the first time, I was about 5'6" and 145 and there was kid on the other team who was 6'3" and 230. This kid absolutley decked me open ice (this was the 4th game of the season so I was still getting used to hitting) and I got a bad concussion. A few months earlier, I har played for a AA travel team and the same exact thing happened but I hit my head off the boards rather than the Ice.
You did watch the big hits, some are legal hits and some dirty and they go about 30 to 48Km hour or 20 to 30miles per hour also you can look at it, stand there and let a car going 20 to 30miles hour and let it hit ya lol that's how us Canadian's roll.
You know what they say, "I went to a fight and a hockey match broke out." XD
Hockey isn't all hitting though make sure you watch a Pavel Datsyuk highlight. You'll lose your mind.
The Magic Man. It was a treat to watch that man play. I'm from the Detroit area so we love us some Datsyuk here.
Best puck handler EVER.
@digital warfare Yep. Best EVER. It's my opinion but he was great fun to watch.
Plus, being from Detroit I am biased. There's some great handlers out there but he was unmatched in my book.
@digital warfare Don't forget Foppa
@digital warfare Patrick Kane is quicker but Datsyuk is way smoother
Yeah but he would’nt know how hard those dekes are to make so he should try it first

Ah North Americans are funny. Stick with irrelevant sports. Once you can play a sport that requires skill instead of being fat and running into people to defend then talk

JDT T what fat??😂 what r u talking about😂 hockey takes way more endurance then soccer does lmfao

You should react to Hockey Fights aswell ;)
Just a little info, Hockey is a Canadian sport that has been become popular in The U.S. Over the years.
Your info is wrong. Stick and ball games date back to pre-christian times and it was brought to Canada by British soldiers and immigrants. Yall always trying to take credit huh
It’s not.... and popular in America over the years??? It’s been longer than that you only have 7 teams in Canada now
Actually if you look back at the history of ice hockey, it can be argued that it started in Minneapolis. Read Gretzky's 99 stories of the game and he gets into it. Good book but not as nearly as interesting at Fleury's or as Proberts. Those two partied hard
It is a muticountry sport dang it
😂😂😂😂😂
This was too much fun to watch!! Thanks man, I needed that😉♥️🙋
"How come they're not dead ?"
Because they're not soccer playing sissies.
Yea, I relate to it with rugby, and American football
Anyone could die with hits like that eh?
Hockey also has the added bonus of first fights once they square up it's part of the game

We’re not American, hockey is still mostly Canadian players. it’s like watching soccer and calling all of them Scottish.
chadgrov And why were is that all NHL in America
@@dallasphillips6497 First off if English is your first language use proper grammar. Two, that doesn't change the fact it's Canadian and mostly Canadian players.
chadgrov not true
Yeah
Canadians are the majority of Players and the Rest of them are a mix of americans, europeans (mostly scandinavia) and russians
@@broig9895 43% Canadian, 26% American and the rest from Europe and Russia. So you are correct. Maybe Adam confuses things because most of teams are in the United states.
soccer player decides to play hockey, so joins a hockey team. Sees that you can get hit and the other guy get penalized, just like in soccer. he thinks great, I can just take a dive and get my team an advantage (you know that famous soccer dive that no one really believes but once in a while they get away with it). So at the next opportunity.. down he goes.. play continues.. he doesn't understand. he tries this a couple more times with the same result. the other team understands what he is trying to do and decide to give him what he wants... next shift, one by one each player smashes him into the boards (no penalties). Then on his next shift he gets close to the goalie. just a little to close. he gets tapped from the goalie... another... and another. Seeing the goalie didn't get a penalties for pushing, decides to push the goalie back.
I think you know what happened next for everyone else.
All he knows is; now he is in the back with a neck brace on and a doctor telling him he has to go to the hospital, but not to worry this team will take full advantage of the 2 min advantage they now had.
Not sure if this is a real story or not, but ask yourself this... how may former soccer players do you know that have played hockey, and stayed playing after they realize the truth?
I read that but I just didnt get it
r/Woooosh
Dont forget the speed aspect; skating is way faster than running!
Now if you take a dive in hockey you get 2 minutes for "embellishing"
I have been watching hockey for 57 years. Hockey players are as tough as tough gets. Not only by getting pulverized like in this video but by getting hit by a frozen rubber steel hard missile going 100mph. Getting hit in the ankle by the puck and you have a whole new insight into pain. Getting hit hard enough that back on the bench you pull one or two of your teeth and say “not again”! Or, need 15-20 stitches? No problem and you are back playing 10 minutes later. Then think about the goalies in the 60’s. No mask! Some of those guys looked like Frankenstein’s monster or worse! Good reaction. I enjoyed it!
A lot of these hits are no longer legal. BTW - 50% of the players are Canadian, then american then from Europe. It is the fastest team sport.

Thats why Hockey is the hardest,most intense and best Sport on Earth.Thats Power! You should do a Hockey Fight compilation reaction. Nice Video thanks man!
6:04 The top skaters are into the 40+km/hr range whereas most of the game is played with the skaters travelling in high 20km/hr to high 30’s pushing 40+ when full out which is when a lot of those big hits happen..oh and often both guys going those speeds in opposing directions 🙈. The puck is frozen vulcanized rubber and the hardest shots in a game would be 150 Km/hr range. Passes regularly would be upwards of 100km/hr...getting hit by the puck anywhere but where pads are hurts like an MFer. Not to mention guys love to us their sticks as weapon to give you a quick whack on the wrists if they think they can get away with it. Brutal sport but amazing to play.

As a Canadian raised on the ice I can answer your question simply. We are raised in a completely different culture, the ice is a warzone and when I was a kid hockey became full contact around age 12-13. So we were slowly eased into bigger and bigger hits. There is one rule in hockey we all try to live by, KEEP YOUR FUCKING HEAD UP!!
Especially coming through neutral zone
Dude when you hid behind your chair I was done😅! Best reaction to any video! Much love from Baltimore MD USA
It looks even faster in person. The camera tracking them takes away from the speed of it. Flat out these guys go 25-30 mph or 40-48 kph. Faster than Usain Bolt.

not all those hits were legal/ werr made illegal hits after.
stevens created a whole chapter worth of hitting restictions due to his play
scott stevens was a missile though
Look up Alexander Ovechkin. He's the greatest goal scorer of this generation and an absolute maniac. Hits hard!
Yep, sometimes his physical play and body checking are underated, which I don't understand cause he hits like a tank!!
@@Wolvieonepunch except that one time he got fucking stopped by Ristolainen, charging up for a big hit and falling down on the ice himself, while Rasmus was standing still😂
Bottom line in these types of sports is that there are rule on HOW you can hit someone.....Not HOW HARD.
In this compilation many of the hits aren't allowed in today's NHL. Plenty of action form early 2000 and 90' hockey.
I find it hilarious to watch the reactions of someone who has never played hockey. The sport is beautiful and lethal. I played for 13 years and I miss it so much. Have a like, and welcome to the game!

Love big Buff
I love Byfuglien but I'm an old timer. Scott Stevens is still way up there for me.
I love how he says how is that legal. When he’s talking about a play where the player was legit kicked out of the NHL for the hit
BS
Connor McDavid from the Edmonton Oilers goes over 40kph and is proven to be the fastest NHL skater out there (three time winner of the test). Yeah getting hit by a 200 pound (or more) guy at that speed is going to hurt you. Believe it or not it was worse in many ways before when they didn't have helmets or most of the pads. Fighting is also fairly normal in games. This is one of Canada's national sports, the other being Lacrosse (yes, both involve sticks that can be used as weapons and bouncing people around like cotton balls and yes, slashing and cross checking (stick held horizontally and rammed into a person or used like a fricking greatsword to open someone up shoulder to knee) does happen (though it's supposed to be penalised as is hooking (using your stick to trip a skater).
HERE is a video of Connor McDavid and professionals trying to explain what he does: ua-cam.com/video/kD7777f2XM4/v-deo.html
In this video he goes end to end in a rink, attains a speed of 40.9kph while handling a puck, avoiding defenders, and scoring a goal. Enjoy and welcome to the wonderful world of Hockey.
Robert Bartel hockey has turned it down with some of those hits tho:/ the rules suck sometimes
@@liamdowney8484 Agreed. They've also really gone heavy into enforcement of head shots (understandable after the whole Todd Bertuzzi / Steve Moore episode and several others where guys were checked so hard head first into the boards they were out for a season and never the same again). Being physical in a game does not mean attacking a guy from behind and breaking his neck. While some say there is zero room in hockey for physical contact it would ruin the game. While I find fighting absurd myself (if you can't control your emotions you don't belong on the ice) there are other ways, legal ways in the game to handle things without slashing or hooking a guy. I prefer a skilled game to a violent one myself but the hits serve a purpose, to try and shake a guy loose from a puck or prevent a pass or goal that, if done properly, are safe (er) and legal within the game. Think about basketball. If a guy is planted and you run into him he didn't charge you.
