Great lesson however it's hard to practice using both circles on my ice rink because there will usually be 15+ people on the ice with goalies and players on both sides practicing

[@beginneradulthockey]

You can definitely use one circle or the center circle. 2 is obviously ideal but play around with the ice you have to see what works best for you.

Nice demo. Skating is so important obviously but I see in some beginner programs they throw the pucks out right away and these poor guys can hardly stand up. Nice video very well done

[@beginneradulthockey]

That's true! We should all be learning to skate before we add that extra element of pucks.

Dreaded circles - my son did so many this Sunday during practice he actually wanted to cry ;( But yes, that is how you learn and coaches know what they’re doing.

Yes! It can be very difficult and a lot of work. It's great to build up to it, but at first it's not that fun.
