Connor Bedard Shot Technique

- In this video Jason breaks down the untaught part of Connor Bedard's shot. When a player comes in at 18 and is one of the best shooters in the NHL, the hockey world takes notice.
In this video we go back to a pivotal moment in Bedard's career - the injury to his lower, right hand. This unfortunate event forced him to rely heavily on his top hand for shooting, birthing a new shooting technique that's not widely seen in hockey. Fast forward to the present, and we're witnessing an increasing number of NHL players, either adopting Bedard's method or showcasing similar evolutionary traits in their shooting mechanics.
The core of Bedard's technique lies in the full rotation of his hands, not just from the wrist action commonly practiced, but involving a complete shoulder rotation that allows his hands to travel across his body. This method facilitates an unprecedented range of motion, from the puck's position to its release, providing a significant boost in the puck's rotation and speed.
As we dissect Bedard's method further, you'll notice - and soon not be able to unsee - how his hands move from one side of his body to the other, with his finishing stance notably similar to that of Auston Matthews.
Drawing parallels to Connor McDavid's influence on skating, Bedard's shooting style is poised to become the next big thing in hockey, inspiring both upcoming talents and current NHLers to adapt and perfect this method. We encourage players to experiment with this technique, focusing on the top hand's motion and its return path close to the body for optimal shooting dynamics.

Not enough people talk about the differentiating factors of his extra long stick relative to his height, the curve and lie of his blade to accommodate for this, and his exaggerated wrist roll on the follow through where the forehand side of his blade almost points down at the ice. All components of a very advanced shot style.
I thought he said he uses a normal twig, maybe even a little shorter??
Normal retail height sure but he is only 5'10. IICRC Bedsy uses a P29 curve. Probably with an adjusted lie.
@@OhYaSure His is up to his eyebrows on skates. Ive tried this method its not for me. I play collar bone height.
@@OpenSourceSlayer i play with it cut mid chest high
You have some of the best takes on youtube my guy... I always learn something when I catch one of your videos. You have helped me with developing my boys skating... and trust me we will be working on this as well 😉
I honestly thought here we go again more toe drag release BS.. But you nailed it actually and you discovered something new that hasn't been said
This dude actually has his own take on things... and they are really good. I really like this channel for that reason. Anyone can repeat what the last 37 guys say... he has original takes that see what a lot of others miss 💯
@@johnscustomsaws I completely agree!
I think it has to do more with his lower hand (right hand on him). The top hand moves to accomadate and make room for the lower hand....
If you watch all shooters they need to bring the lower hand elbow closer to the hip, then initiate the stick forward.
What Bedard does is bring the elbow past the hip to his groan/almost centerline of the body before initiating the stick forward (which is a very strong position for the arm/elbow)[have you seen when gymnist or break dancers when they put all their weight on one arm.....they tuck the elbow into the hip, which creates a 90 degrees between the lower and upper arm...very strong safe position]
AND as someone mentioned below....he's found the right length, lie and curve to maximize the movement.
Most shooters have 1 shot/ slot angle for the lower hand elbow.
Conor can have up to 3....elbow to the hip (most shooters)....elbow to the groin....and elbow all the way to the center line of the body!!!
And for those who are not able to see or sense the elbow needing to come in towards the body before moving forward. Just imagine the motion of your throwing arm when skipping rock along the water! NOw put a hockey stick in your hands.
I have a question does the rotation and the pull behind work with other shots?
YES, YES, but his shooting style only works with a soft stick. I've got a 105 flex and this is not working for me (I've tried).
When it comes to practicing ones shot off-ice, how important do you think it is to correct the length of the stick for the fact that you are not on skates? Meaning, my stick on the ice comes to about my chin; off ice it comes to about my nose, I'm thinking that's probably significant but I'm open to suggestions. Or mockery.
Thanks
The thing is is that you need a long stick and a particular curve to be able to keep the puck in control that entire distance. With Crosby stick you could not shoot like that. Crosby also has stick advantage on face off, battle, backhand, one hand use. Stick type changes everything.
Ovechkin stick made for one singular purpose. Sucks for everything else.
May I ask about accuracy I have good shot but I struggle with accuracy any thing helpful?
If you aren't changing stick curve/flex/lie etc... it's really about practice. I made SMALL targets on hinges for our net at home which forces you to "aim small... miss small..." Also I feel it's important to shoot on the ice as much as you can... or at least on synthetic ice with skates on... not just off-ice shooting. I coach my boys squirts team and played for years and it really is just about practice and finding what works for a stick and not changing it up constantly if you are working on accuracy.
Obviously scrap what I said if Jason says different... he knows a HELL of a lot more than I do lol... this is just my 2 cents 😉
I’ve learned to keep my release low. It’s helped my shot, I’ve always aimed to the moon not realizing it wondering why all my shots went high
Watching this while ordering next year's CCM twigs. Tr I gger 9 Pro, jet and tack. New 200 price point twig will be amazing value.
Hey Jason I’m interested in purchasing the train2.0+ membership. My question is could I still do all the drills and training without ice?
You can do them on marsblades. If you have a shooting pad and a place to stickhandle, you can still do the program's slingshot shooting system and precise puck control, but they are all rooted from the downhill skating system. So Downhill skating is the foundation for shooting and stickhandling.
@@Birdthathasinternet thank you. I do have marsblades. Could I do it on a road or bumpy surface?
@@regyy3019 Perhaps a road, if you are able to skate on it then it should be fine. Though the only thing you can't practice is a punch turn since it requires a slippery surface.
talked to Sherwood rep - nothing special, kid has a long stick, about a 77 flex, toe drags to fire a snapper with hand under the chin. I'd say because of the delay of the drag, the puck would come off the stick minimally in that motion.
Also, right handed player, right handed shot = harder shot. Many videos to substantiate this.
This is 101 basics in Russia...
Man you guys are good, I wish us dumb Canadians could be as good as you
This is not even close to why his shots above all. He really understands how the generate the flex of the stick without a big wind up. You can’t teach it. Not everything is a technique. You over think shit when you do videos dude
