It's insane how close U7 hockey is to my beer league. This will help so much mentally, but I will be just as trash as normal.

Great explanation for the concept of positional play & angling. However, so difficult to watch that age group play adult size ice and adult size nets. The cost also just to watch how little the puck is utilized is mind numbing for a developmental age. Shrink the ice! Get more involvement;more touches; more shots; more skating; more fun. Shrinking the net improves both shot quality and tendy confidence. Allow them to get into the game and not be a frozen punching bag. 🤔✌🏻

So nice to see you demonstrating this off ice. So many drills a young player can practice at home. Keep your heads up.

Couple questions, What is your recommendation on how long your stick should be relative to your height? Ive seen videos sayings that you should be standing straight up on your skates and have you top hand basically straight down to your side, from there the blade of the stick should be flat on the ice. Doing this makes your stick extremely short and puts it a few inches below your chin while on skates. I tried it and it felt really small, but i don't know what I'm doing so I don't know if its wrong or not, also if you look at pictures of players with great hands their sticks are really short are exactly how I explained earlier. Second questions, Do you use a shorter stick when stick handling on flat ground in shoes to compensate for the height difference from being on skates? Do you think that makes a difference when practicing on flat ground? Last question, what is your recommendation of stick length for someone just starting out working on stick handling? Having a hard time finding the correct length. Thank you for your help and this great video!

Thank you for the positive feedback! If you rip these drills or really any additional stich handling drills at home for a decent amount of time you will def see improvement in games. Your channel is legit. Have not tried apex, I've been playing COD and halo. Apex looks pretty good tho.

This deserves a like and sub. Can you make a video of how we can improve our skating skills? Maybe a “How to skate like McDavid” video.

Hello, thanks for your comment. I do have a stick-handling video that should be useful to a young player here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrxxg815nrm8YWg.html That should be a good starting point, and the nice thing is that you can do it at home. I plan on making a shooting video in the future as well. This video is more geared toward advanced players. However, the angling concepts covered in this video are key habits that players at all levels should learn. It's very common for young players to skate directly at an opponent who has the puck. If the defending player fails to take the puck away, then they will take themselves out of the play, which often results in giving the puck carrier a scoring opportunity. Understanding that it's best to angle the puck carrier toward the boards, skate with the puck carrier and not at them, and that it's important to make multiple efforts to steal the puck is critical. Once young kids find themselves in a game situation, they should be thinking about this concept anytime the other team has the puck. Thanks again. If you have a specific question, or a suggestion for a video let me know.
