I am new to nhl and you’re really helping me out.

I'm an Iowa gal trying to get into hockey- we aren't a super fan area, but there are some teams around. Many people's attitude is "you can't be a fan if you don't know everything the game" but they also won't help teach you 🤷🏼‍♀️ you have been so helpful!

Utah fan here, these videos are extremely useful 3 years later. Thanks!!

I just saw my first hockey game about a month ago when my friend convinced me to watch a local junior league game. I'm now OBSESSED with hockey. Your videos are so informative as I'm starting with no knowledge. Also, I used to live in Seattle and so, of course now I'm a Kraken fan. Thank you for making these videos. They're so helpful!

Great videos, I'm a UK fan who just started watching hockey this season. Struggling to decide on a team to follow I began following the leafs and the bolts to learn the game. Then I learned about the Kraken coming into existence and decided to make that my team going forward since its a fresh start and the timing couldn't be better. So far I've watched every game of the two teams I previously mentioned and have learnt loads. Completely obsessed now.

Our country Japan is not familiar with neither ice hockey nor NHL. This video is very helpful to get into NHL thx

this has to be one of the hardest sports to understand. it has so many little details that’s are essential to understand.

I’ve been watching hockey all week. I’m ready to make the plunge and become a fan. Thanks for the video

I'm 3 years late but this was amazing. My kids are getting into hockey which I've never really watched and this was made to where even I can understand the basics of the sport in regards to the lines and positions so thank you. I'll be subscribing for more lessons!

As a Texan from the Austin region who’s trying to get deeper into the game of hockey , your videos help immensely 💯❤️

I am from Seattle and wanted to know more about hockey before the Kraken start playing. This was very helpful and your other videos are awesome!

I love baseball, football and basketball and just received a Kraken jersey for my birthday so I need to learn hockey! Their first ever preseason game today! I can just tell I'll love it. The culture is awesome and the sport is so visually pleasing, if a little confusing. Anyway thanks for the vid!

You’re the best. The Firebirds are our hometown team now and the past year has been all about discovering how awesome hockey is. Taking a few learn to play classes now, but our scrimmages are a bit chaotic, so it’s REALLY nice to finally be able to understand positions and roles a bit better. 🙌

Love this series, please keep them coming!

I really appreciate this video. It helped me get quickly spun up on hockey terms! Keep making videos like this.

Watched the inaugural Kraken game last night which also happened to be my first NHL game. Now I'm watching this. Great video man!

New to hockey and channels like these are a godsend. Gonna watch of these as we get into the playoffs. Also congrats to your Krakens for making the berth.

Thank you! I have been looking for info on hockey for quite awhile and your video is very good. ❤❤ thank you for showing what each line is responsible for and how the experience of each line can change slightly. I can’t wait for your next video. Thank you again!!

Thank you for doing this! I just started watching at the Trade Deadline this year so I’m taking in as much info as possible and this helps so much!

Thanks a lot for this video. As you addressed I'm new to NHL due to the Krakens inauguration. I love watching mariners baseball so I'm excited to expand.

I started playing ice hockey at the start of this year and this video helps me alot to remember the positions and also it helps me think of strategies and gives me a good idea of where to stay out of depending on my position Wether it be defence or offence

Just saw my first couple games with my SO who is a major hockey nut. I instantly fell in love with watching the game, and wanted to learn it better lol. Thank you SO much for the videos!

I'm coming back to this game recently, I used to watch and support the San Jose Sharks as a kid and I'm falling back in love with the game all over again ❤️ thank you for this video it's been a big help 👌

Really good to see this, I really need this

Thanks for explaining lines! Genuinely didn't know about this :)

🙋🏾‍♂️ I just started watching hockey tonight cus my daughter wanted too (she likes ice skating). We just watch our first game today (TB vs NY) and we enjoyed it. So now, Im here learning about the sport. Rooting for Rangers & Hurricanes all season 🏒🙌🏾 thanks for the video!

This is such a helpful video and series! Thank you 😄

Appreciate the video. Told me pretty much everything I need to know to be able to watch games and not be confused.

I'm literally a Washington resident who is getting excited for the Kraken and wanted to get more into hockey. Great vid!

I’m a Floridian that’s been re-planted in upstate NY due to work. I watched the playoffs last year and fell in love despite not really understanding the game (I mean- get the puck in net ✅). This season, I’m all in. Already bought my Shesterkin jersey. Your videos are immensely helpful.

That was an excellent video.... nice job

came from reddit, mad respect for the Seahawks helmet in the back

The Lines illustration killed me, the best way 🤣

I'm a UK fan who's new this season but also does not watch every game due to a majority of them taking place at 1-2 a.m. so I am not learning super quickly. Will definitely watch more of this series so that I'm more prepared for the 2021/22 season :)

Great vid bro, thanks!

It’s crazy how many videos there are of people explaining hockey. Idk. I think it’s cool people like something and want to learn more about it

This video is so helpful. Thanks so much! I've wanted to get into hockey for a while but always been a bit overwhelmed (getting my head around NFL games took a while & 10 years on I still don't understand it fully 😂) So anyway, for multiple reasons i chose the Kraken for my team & wanna say thanks for making these 101 videos (all of them for that matter!) & not being really condescending in the process! I've pretty much spent the last 2 weeks binge watching all your videos (some multiple times) & I can't even beging to tell you how much easier it made watching my first game. I've been watching as much hockey as I can, which being in the UK isn't as easy as it should be & the Kraken have won both of their last games so hoping I'm a bit of a good luck charm for them! Thanks again 🦑💙🩵🤍

Thanks for the explanation! Just checking out other sports I never really watched that might interest me now

thanks for this video man!

I am a new Kraken fan who doesn't know anything about hockey. I want to understand the game better and hopefully attend a Kraken game at Center Pledge Arena. Thank you for helping me enjoy the game much better!

loved the vid...tryin to learn about hockey and nhl !!

this really helps because I'm new to hockey because of the Seattle Kraken 👍

Yo bud, very helpful content for a newbie, thx a lot for that ;) did you already put the video about line changes out yet?

Awesome video. Can't wait for our Utah hockey team

Wow, really helpful! Thanks Cheap Seats!

Great video!

Go Kraken! New Seattleite hockey fan going to my first game tonight

I'm from India and basically I came around ice hockey when KZfaq algorithm randomly put it onto my feed ( I was checking rules of NFL though previously maybe that's why i guess) but ever since I'm in love with this sport, kinda sad that I've missed lot of epic moments! But glad cuz now I'm following Stanley Cup and I'm enjoying so much! Though I need to learn about the game more and inside rules that you get after watching the game regularly. But thanks for this video 💙

Great explanation ty

Great vid

Here 30 mins before the Krackens first preseason game!!!! Im excited nervous confused all of the above!!

LOVE THIIIIIS OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

Thank you for the best video reagarding thius issue so far, What are the rules regarding substitutions? What fores too many men on the ice? And what are the differences between NHL and global hockey rules? Both genarally and regarding substitutions. Thank you.

"if you find yourself enjoying this video at any point and you like enjoying things...." lol, that's what got me...

Nice, well presented video. I've never heard the Power Play and Penalty Kill players called a team. They're commonly referred to as units and typically there's 2 sets of each.

Yes. I am the exact person you were referring to!

I actually don't really watch nhl (as the streaming service is among the most expensive out therel, but ive bought nhl 18 for the ps4 and these vids are pretty helpful for that too! So thanks!💪

Thank you!

With defensive pairings you tend to see an offensive guy paired with a stay at home defenseman. In some cases you will have guys who are all around good defenseman, on their top pairing. Ducan Keith and Brent Seabrook are a good example of a top pairing, that was good defensively and offensively. They both could play on the power play and could kill penalties.

Jumping ship from NFL to NHL thanks

Can u make a video explaining how the tournament scheduling, playoffs, Draft, Player signing works?

@2:10 "Bad" 😂😂

What size jersey should I purchase? I’m 6’5 230 pounds and usually wear an XL in shirts and sweatshirts.

Just subscribed! I'm number 997. 3 more for 1k.

Liked the video , Boston Sports Fan from 🇿🇦💯☘ Hopefully Bruins will bring better joy than the Celtics this year. #BostonStrong617 #BEANTOWN #DirtyWater

Thanks I got invite to a game tonight, I have no clue what to expect.

Watching this video to prepare for Kraken season haha.

I've played deck hockey for 8 years and while it's fundamentally different from ice it's practically the same but I thought I'd give this a watch anyway

From Australia an straight up easy why I like it.

*brings out Kraken logo* He read my mind 😳🥰

I start watch nhl hockey few month ago and now Im extreeme supporter of Carolina Hurricanes 😅 and Im from Bosnia 🇧🇦😁💙 every game I have to wait till 2-3 oclock in the morning

Could you please explain how exactly a team goes offsides.

I have a question about the goalie/ goaltender . I notice if a team is losing by 2 points , that they will take their goalie and turn him into an attacker in return leaving an empty net, . wouldnt this action artificially mske it a PP and a PK because its 6 on 5 and not even strength ?

I am from Alabama, we have HAVOC as our hockey team. not a big hockey state...I went to my first game 2 days ago, but always liked seeing things about hockey. After that game with a WIN of 4 to 3 in OT, it was AWESOME watching these guys chase that tiny puck flying around the rink, while the sticks popped, and the puck pin balling at 100mph, hearing the sound of the puck POP as the goalie stopped it. LETS SAY HOCKEY HAS A NEW FAN...so far i have picked Penguins, Pittsburg, as my mains, and Anaheim and Avalanches as my seconds. since Colorado is my second home cause i used to go see my aunt there. But Alabama college team is pretty decent, nothing like their football team...but man HOCKEY IS SO MUCH BETTER its like FOOTBALL on ICE and insanely fast paced..its like someone took boring soccar, smushed in football, and a touch of rugby...put it on ice, and said NOW HERE IS A REAL GAME.

i just got into hockey, the hardest part is choosing a favorite team before the season starts on tuesday🤣 my state doesn’t have a hockey team sadly

My coach wanted me to watch this

Excellent, I remember I had to learn all of this on my First Totem game. LOL

What is offside and onside

Go Kraken! 🦑

how do hockey coaches make a difference?

As someone who's familiar with pretty much all teams ports aside from hockey, hockey seems so incredibly weird. Like why it's called lines instead of first team/second team, how substitutions can happen all the time with no stoppage, why there isn't much talk of formations and everybody basically plays the same formation etc. Also, having just watched one of my first full hockey games yesterday, I'm shocked by the willingness of players to give up blatant penalties. You know it's gonna hurt your team immensely, but you still choke slam a guy to the ground lmao. Penalties are still abundant in a sport like football, but most of them are pretty accidental(holding facemask etc). And overall it seems strange how coaches don't lose their shit at stupid penalties. I'm not saying I dislike any of this stuff, it's just such a culture shock, it'd be like moving to Japan or something.

Lol, you said "NFL" @4:09

Let's Go Blues!!!

man, I'm sad, that I'm the only one who likes Hockey, the story that I'm about to tell you might spin your head and brain a bit. so, I'm a huge hockey fan, as an Indonesian (only sliver of people here know of hockey maybe under a hundreds out of tens of millions). I've been a fan since 2006 when Sydney Crosby, Malkin, and Flower made their debut xD My friend are the one who introduced me to hockey back in middle high school. now, my circle in which I and my old friend in, is a huge sports fans and we've been together since elementary school, and turns out I'm the only person who likes hockey, my friend doesn't follow it anymore (only know of the game which he introduced me hockey on). Now, the group seems to be interested in hockey and ask what is it, i try to give them this video, and they ask "what is this? we are not interested in hockey, but please tell us more," im baffled on what their statement is, so I share more newbie friendly stuff about hockey, and they keep being angry with me, like, I don't know what the fuck they want, they said they are interested, but doesn't want to give a fuck about it. I flip my shit and said if they're adult enough to get married, don't force me shit to feed on your mouth with stuff that you're not even interested in. now, im proud to be alone, they're really harsh to me, I used to respect them as a friend, but now it seems like they're not even considering me as a friend in their circle. all the time they discuss is playing games and hang out at stuff without mentioning me at all. I'm sorry if this story mess up your brain, Im not a good English speaker. but this really burns me out and let me down. im sorry.

Lol dude my nick name when I played soft ball was cheap seats XD

@CheapSeatsSports Dont forget the fifth line 😂

4:10, friend you said NFL. I’m no pro understander of either sport but I do know that “f” is for Football 🤨

First

So it looks very similar to lacrosse

I enjoyed the video but just wanted to mention that your mannerisms remind me a lot of MrBeast

4:09 - NHL, not NFL! 😆

You called it a goalie helmet?? Do you even hockey?? No one who is a fan of hockey, let alone a player will ever say that.... It's called a mask for a reason....

New to hockey and channels like these are a godsend. Gonna watch of these as we get into the playoffs. Also congrats to your Krakens for making the berth.
