THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS.! With the price of hockey schools and coaches through the roof kids can save money for better equipment and ice fees while learning skills online. I have been playing hockey for 30 years and still can learn how to develop my game through videos like this. Its good people like you guys who unselfishly give your knowledge to keep the great game of hockey alive.

Thanks! When practicing I recommend pushing your limits as much as you can, reach out as far as you can and really work those edges! Try to get as much power as you can but also don't neglect the quick crossovers. Sometimes 2 fast crossovers will gain you as much speed as one really powerful one, it all depends on the game situation so that's why we showed both.

I never played hockey but I went skating every Friday/Saturday for social skate when I was a freshmen. I couldn’t believe how easy I took to skating. I loved it so much! I started staying late to practice. I found a pair of used vapors in my size at an expensive goodwill in my city. Got them pro sharpened at my local pro shop and molded. I couldn’t afford all the gear for hockey so I ate up the few days I could skate. I still shock myself in how fast I understood it. Fun stuff. Just practice. Practice, practice, practice. It’s as easy as that. For a dude from Louisiana all I did was PRACTICE. it’s fun af because (and this is weird for older skaters) just practice.

I love the way these guys break this down into manageable capabilities. While I can't yet do a backwards crossover, I can still skate backwards in a circle and work on the push to the inside. When I've got that, then I can easily see adding the crossover. I can really see the progression from component capabilities to the final skill and imagine how I'm going to get where I want to be. Thanks!

Shooting and stickhandling are the two things that you can work on a lot at home. You need a spot to shoot and stickhandle so sort that out first. Once you have an area set up try to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to practicing and improving. Make yourself a schedule or checklist to stick to and you will notice improvements very quickly

I'm mostly a beginner except what I've learned from youtube ...a lot from you... and just trying to have even a tiny chance against my 8 year old son in hockey and thought backwards crossovers would help out but be super hard to do. However, as always, you make the hard stuff seem easy! Put together backwards and crossing over... so simple but I never thought of it like that! 2 hours on the synthetic ice in my garage after the little man went to sleep and I've got it!! You rock! One way better than tbe other, but can't wait to see the look on my little man's face when I bust out the backwards crossovers at puck shoot tomorrow! 😂

Jeremy, thanks to you and Ken for an easy-to-understand video. Unlike other KZfaq tutorials, you keep your videos short and focus on the basics.

Thanks to your help, I got the basic backwards crossover down yesterday.

I've been a hockey fan for a really long time, and this past year I decided to give actually playing a try. I'm a freshman in college, so I decided to take a beginner hockey class they offered at my school. While it made me fall in love with playing the sport and helped me be able to ice skate ok and feel comfortable in gear and everything, I didn't learn much. I really love playing though, so I decided to buy gear this summer and sign up for a local rookie league in the fall. I've been practicing a lot of these videos on my rollerblades, and I went to my first stick and puck the other day, and WOW. Literally these videos are WAY more helpful then the class I took, so thank you 🙏

That's amazing Mackenzie! So glad we could help you out, keep on practicing and playing and you'll improve quickly. Great idea to use your rollerblades as well. We did a rollerblading course on The Pond to show things you can practice on the street that will help on the ice. We also have a few free videos here on KZfaq that will help as well.

Great video Jeremy, I really liked your emphasis on getting your 1st leg under the other. My coach would always stress that crossing your feet over 2 inches doesn't provide enough thrust, and that you need to really extend your legs. I'm really enjoying your on-ice videos, keep them up!

I really like that you incorporate a real application of the technique. I've moved from beginner to intermediate from watching your videos. Although my skating and puck handling and somewhat my shooting has improved, my positioning on the ice during games is one of my weaknesses. Can you do a video on awareness? Help us identify what to do in certain situations. (By the way I'm a New Zealander playing Hockey in Hong Kong)

Yes you are right about the c-cuts, the legs should be doing all the work, stay low, don't bob up and down (another common mistake) and dont zig-zag. In this video though we are focusing on the backwards crossovers, we just showed the c-cuts quickly as a base for performing the backwards crossovers. Also it's not "wrong" it's just not the most effecient method of the c-cut

@kentlarouche6467 9 жыл бұрын

I find it much easier to teach the backwards crossover starting with an outside foot c push only, progressing to an outside foot c cut/then crossing over the inside foot. The outside foot does not leave the ice. After they have those 2 steps mastered, then incorporate the inside foot reach and pull. The outside foot does not leave the ice, it does a continuous s motion, while the inside foot gets picked up, reaches and pulls. Need to stress that knees need to be bent and it is the body is in more of a chair sitting position. Been teaching it that way for 30 plus years and it works.
