The only problem with this channel Is not enough videos. Where you at, your content is great

I am 60yrs old. These videos help me immensely with my beer league game with the guys, so thank you for your work.

MIke I know you don't make these any longer, but they are priceless. Thank you!

"Never say never, and never say always" has been a go to of mine since I heard you say it on another video. Really appreciate your content Mike! Cheers from New Brunswick.

Man brother, I coach a college team and I find you incredibly helpful, insightful, and intriguing. I don't think your presentation is polarizing at all. I think you do a phenomenal job and really do a great job explaining it and explaining why you are doing what you are doing. I find you very intelligent and very applicable. When I see you've posted a new video, I watch it right away. I love your stuff. Please know you have one fan that is always eager to hear what you have to share. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely LOVE the content in this one. Have been struggling with this with players at the 16 & 18U level for quite some time and this explains a lot of the issues we see. It is a real problem for kids once they get to that level as the habits are so ingrained at that point it is extremely hard to convince kids to do things differently. It is uncomfortable and foreign and they don't master the new techniques immediately and quickly revert to old habits that are more comfortable (especially if they had any success in past). Not polarizing IMO. I share your passion, keep the content coming.

If I think of best current scorer… he almost always is in the traditional position on the face off dot on his strong side. I do agree with you 100%, just interesting to watch OV

All good points. I like these shooting drills off tires. Thanks

I think that lower flex sticks should also become more normalized to encourage this. I was always a smaller kid so even at the u14 level I was having issues flexing a 65 flex stick. Having a lower flex stick can really encourage young players getting away from the "sweep shot". Crazy to think that I was using a 65 flex stick at u14 when I still use a 65 flex stick to this day and I'm 22 LOL

Just found your channel. Great content. Keep it up.

Great video, keep them coming!

I always like your videos. I personally think it’s situational. I like having my toe caps going north when the passing distance is a shorter distance and quicker play especially in the slot(s) on an attack. But when the pass is coming from a longer distance , I like opening up. Not necessarily a one timer but catch and release. Good video and points.

The way you point out that all the types of shooting are important tools for players is quite helpful. Great examples as well. One thing I noticed in the videos of the kids practicing is that they still appear to sweet the puck from all the positions, which maybe is because they can't use their weight to flex the stick? For example, at 10:59 the player is in a position to be able to punch out their top hand and then flex the stick when shooting facing forward, but instead the players keeps their top hand close to the body and sweets forward with their lower hand. I noticed that in the NHL examples you showed all the players are punching out the top hand. Is it just because the focus with the kids is first on getting the feet-position in order, and the proper top-hand form will come later?

Nice video! Thanks for the insight

Couldn’t find the KZfaq channel with the videos shown. Sts hockey. Can you link it?

I really only do a sweep shot, as a winger, when I do a cut across the front of the net/slot. Otherwise, I completely agree that skates have to generally be facing towards the net...for quick release.

Do you have links to the STS stuff?

Hey Mike I want to try to help player learn using video clips with voice overlay. Would you please share the name/s of the tools you use to make these videos *which I find very useful and enjoyable)? Thanks!

Rantanen? The shooter looks like burakovsky
