If you can skate you are half way there, never too late to start. Hey even Bill Burr plays “pick up” hockey. A few of the guys at various sessions I’ve played at and currently play at have people in their 60’s playing who might not have speed on their skates, but they have poise and great stick handling and vision for passes that break out of defence or into the offensive zones. If you can afford it, give it a try. I think you will easily transition to hockey if you have the hockey mentality and buy the kit.

Great vids for hockey tonight

I did this drill to help get to the beer cooler faster after my games.

Thanks coach. 🙏🏼

Great video, very interesting. But maybe you guys should watch speedskaters too, I think it is about bending the ankle and keeping it bend during the push. Instead of extending the ankle in the push.(like when running) I did an instruction video on that for speedskaters. Nr. 1 has english subtitles now.

I wish I did ice hockey as a kid. I did roller hockey from 11years old so there was some difference in learning how to skate the most notable being stopping. This drill would have been nicer for me on ice than it was on roller, less slide on a plastic sports court for something this short of a distance.

You know, Ray Ferarro once remarked on a hockey broadcast, "that reminds me of something we used to say back in Trail. You can't teach fast and you can't fix stupid." Nice to see someone trying to prove that wrong. Well, half of it, anyway.

this guy is good

I just learnt how to skate, and I want to try and beat my friends in a race (cant do crossovers yet) and this definitely helped.

You should come out and do a development camp in Vancouver!

I feel like from my own life experience... a lot of times kids cant learn technique like this toes one because they just aren’t able physically- the one kid who can I would be curious what he does off ice, as in stretches / exercises etc - you know what you need to do but just can’t sometimes

I agree with this, and the other attached comment. The number of times this coach blows his whistle right after he's just told them, "goh!" simply to stop them after one line goes and says "hey.." drives me nuts. Give the kids a chance to try. Explain how to be on your toes better. Also that comment about stabbing a guy? Odd

I am goalie. Dancing, pushing, and power have to be in my toes. Can you imagine they allow goalies to have toe picks?

How the heck do you get to this camp?

For what this exercise?

Not trying to sounds condescending but this doesn't work on becoming a faster skater. This just works on quick feet. Maybe your acceleration from the side... #1 thing to improve on to be faster at skating is your form in stride. Most people don't get enough contact surface with their stride (small steps) but everyone is different...

I would kill for my coach to teach at this quality and do drills like this. I do a power skating program, and the drills for girls are less effective and important than the ones for boys. They do balance, quick feet drills, shooting drills, recovery one, and actually get pushed.

Not sure if you reply but I've been struggling to have energy recently. I had a tournament about a week ago and ever since then I've just been tired feeling. My game has dropped a lot and I'm playing worse than ever. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

I do an 8oz of red bull (lite, sugar is not needed in my case) right before a skate and it tends to help. I'll even do one before a late game and just skate as hard as I can every shift to burn it off. I do need to get to sleep, eventually. Also, stay hydrated!!

Yeah the toes are the important part so you glide instead of chopping the ice instead 😂

You're better off learning how to perfect your stride and balance before you waste your time doing this if you can't take a good forward stride so many kids are up for it some don't appear to be

This guy must have military background

I can skate from the blueline to the redline faster than skipping like a idiot.

sadly hockey coaches do not have the proper skating background...hes seems like a great coach but what he teaches is wrong. you get grip from the edges of the full blade not the toes, the more blade on the ice the more weight and power you can transfer on the ice. thats why speedskater have long blades (more glide and more pressure on the ice). although hes right about skating on the same plane (sideways) kids need not to jump up while doing cross over they lose the pressure (power) they just put on the ice, you need indeed to move the knees quick but bent towards the direction you're going not up (like jumping farther to the side, not up). been coaching both hockey and short track speed skating for years now, all the players who come dab into speed skating end up being the fastest of their league because they're taught how to properly do weight transfer and effective crossovers skating nowadays make a whole difference in the NHL, top players are also great skaters think of mcdavid, makar, mackinnon, kaprizov etc.

This actually sounds very correct in terms of being quick on your edges, but what I feel this drill does is primarily improve just the quickness of your feet on the ice, no?

So many kids cheat all the time on these drills if they're too slow at it. Sadly it just ends up hurting their own development.

You know those spikes figure skaters have on the toe of they're skate, we'll imagine we had those in hockey, stab your opponent! 🤣😂

Good instructions, but the guys need to train this and the trainer stopped them after few seconds. Let them train and do not stop the guys. Otherwise you have zero result. Guys need practise

Silly.

The kids who are cheating are cheating themselves

"You stab a guy with it" The snowflake karen parent: HUH??? WHAT DID YOU TELL MY SON?????

Seems to be more about the “coach” spewing. Put the whistle away and let the kids work it out for a couple reps. And…don’t mention stabbing with skates to kids, just weird.

Lmao -- wtf is this

After watching letterkenny...who the fuck skates like that?

I’ve really come to the conclusion that figure skating ⛸ could help hockey players with speed & agility… I’ve heard that some pro teams employ figure coaches for some part in skills development…or maybe that’s just an urban legend? 😂
