I really appreciate you posting these things. I'm a 30 year old woman in Utah trying to get started and your videos are really helping!
Great info for beginniners. Just a small note related to the typical number of defensemen vs. forwards; it's not that defensemen aren't skating hard (because they are, or, should be), but usually most forwards aren't good enough skaters to actually take on the (important) role of playing defense, of which 50% of your time is basically skating backwards, and typically require a solid technique to keep up and avert offensive players to the sides .. thus, they play as forwards.
I'm probably getting a lot of hate for stating this obvious fact, but a good defenseman is often one of the best technical skaters on the team.
No I totally agree with you! I regretted what I said there. Defensemen are the best skaters on the ice, and normally it's not about skating hard, a lot of times it's because they need to defend their goal and they also get more ice time. Us slower skaters try to stay out of the way so the center and defensemen can do what they do best.
I would strongly encourage any new player to try playing defense. Although playing defense WELL requires strong technical abilities, playing the position will improve that ability. Defence will help you learn to pass well, read player postioning, skate well(different than fast) and improve your hockey IQ.
True. I played D for over 30 yrs and D is extremely technical and D men have to process a lot of information in seconds. The Defenseman has to be one of the smartest players on the ice. Respect to my fellow D men
"There's a lot of hockey players that are engineers for some weird reason"
...me watching this at work as an engineer 😂
hahahah it's so true, right??
Well done 👍
Thanks! Anything you'd add to this?
Good info 👍🇨🇦
Thanks! Anything you'd add?
When I first starting coaching, it was with a Pee Wee team that only the goalie had any actual organized experience. One of the first things I noticed was they had no idea how to change lines on the fly and were counting on whistle stoppage to do so! 😖 Obviously this was one of the most important skills that I had to teach these sometimes very overly exhausted skaters.
That is so true! Especially when the ice is THAT much larger for pee wees. It's a great skill to know the best times to get off the ice, so you don't have to do it during the wrong time (because you are too tired).
Awesome! I wanna learn to play as an adult female it’s cool to see that is possible 🔥🔥
You definitely should! SO many women start playing every day. I actually have a video coming out next week specifically for women, you should make sure to watch for that.
🫶🫶🫶 I immediately subscribed after this video so I’ll be waiting patiently ☺☺@@beginneradulthockey
You’re the best
Thank you! :) Anything you'd add?
Biggest piece of advice. Learn to skate first. Don't jump into it until you can skate. Go to public skating for six months. There are a lot of beginner programs where people can hardly stand up. Learn to skate first
Yes absolutely. Although i did public skate for a few months and really didn’t get better until I started playing. So while you should have basic skating skills, nothing will replace getting out there and playing. Hopefully your rink has a program, league, or class where everyone is at the same level though.
@beginneradulthockey I agree however you should have your feet under you. Before you touch a puck you should have control of your balance. I see videos of beginner players that look like toddlers. You can't teach someone hockey if they can't stand up. The quickest way to get injured is to have 30 people that can't stand up with sticks in their hands and sharpened blades on their feet. I do like your videos.
First training today😢
That's amazing! How did it go??
@@beginneradulthockey actually great xd I go twice a week now and will even get jerseys. I really love it
100% agree! We have these clowns that think theyre nhl worthy, all beer leagues for that matter. Awesome video thanks.
Thanks! Yes I see it everywhere - people need to realize this is fun, exercise, and socialization. Not a path to being a pro :)
Any other rules to know that are important but not necessarily the obvious ones?
I am working on some more rules videos - I will try to put together some more non-obvious ones. Here are some other just random thoughts though: ua-cam.com/video/Bi-uzRY4KW4/v-deo.html
Winger is prolly the most dificult Position in Hockey 😂
Why is that? I am open to that thought :)
Goalie will always be the most difficult position.
