For some reason I cannot stop on both my inside edges, especially when my skates is just sharpened, I would just stop abruptly and inertia cause me to fall. I stop with both outside edges perfectly fine though. How could this be the case?

When I try to do a turn I notice I can’t really get on my edge and by feet stay side by side and my knees pointed inwards. Will the outside edge on one foot drill help with that? I feel like I’m not flexible enough to get one foot behind the other and I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong

What are your thoughts on using a shorter stick thats comes up to the same height as it would if you where on skates when practicing on land. Does that change in height going from skates to feet but using the same stick mess up your mechanics?
@nsdahockey4 ай бұрын
Good question, you could have an off-ice stick for shooting and puck handling or you could practice in roller blades to mimic being on skates or set up a shooting platform to stand on when shooting off of the ice. At the end of the day the 2-3 inches won't make that big of a difference when shooting with the same stick on and off the ice. If it's not affordable to have multiple sticks its fine to use the same height stick, as long as your working on the same techniques that will transfer when on the ice. Good luck.

Ok, so DON'T roll and point the blade on the follow through???
@nsdahockey4 ай бұрын
No player do that anymore. I grew up with that being part of the teaching from coaches when working on shooting. If you watch the best shooters in the NHL no one really rolls their blade over and points at their target, You still want to follow through with your bottom hand and blade put the need to roll your wrists over and point just waists time and is unnecessary.

Do you prefer wearing the skates with the tongues under the shin pads, or over them?
@nsdahockey4 ай бұрын
Good question, I've personally done both. Its personal preference. Shin pad over the skate tongue does add a little more protection from shots off the top of a players foot. Some players like tongues over shin pads as it lends to add a little more ankle flexion allowing players to get lower when skating/turning.

train 2.0 goes against this philisophy of pushing down and related it more to pushing a 9.5 foot stick through a 9 foot window so the flex is not from pushing down at all which makes sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZjNeZulmZuBfbM
@nsdahockey5 ай бұрын
That is a good video, definitely goes into the weeds on Bedard's shot. They do mention "pushing" in the video (pushing through the pane of glass...). There needs to be some pushing with the bottom hand in order to generate flex on the shaft of the stick as the blade makes contact with the ice. When teaching snap shots in general, especially to players learning the shot, the easiest way for them to understand is to have them think of pushing through the shot with their bottom hand to generate flex on the stick and power on the shot.
@hockeyhacks2.0Күн бұрын
Pushing is a very general term which is why Jason and I don't like using that word. It also is not the same as what Bedsy, Pettersson (especially, how can he shoot as hard as he does with his lanky body?), Ovi, Laine, even guys like Sid and Nate. The flex comes from the physics of the whip and the weight of the stick. The amount of downforce compared to the amount of rotation could not be clearer after watching these great shooters closely for years that they do not push or lean on their sticks. When I changed that 5 years ago, my shot started to get quicker, harder, and up to their standards (80mph+ wrist shot - NHL Standard based off today's puck tracking technology- with 4/4 accuracy in all types of shots while at a high cadence)

very confusing information around youtube on this subject. theres another video called "The Crossover Balance Secret!" by Kellian Hockey who describes that the secret to balance on the outside edge involves putting all your weight in your heel, but this youtube video suggests its the ball of your foot that you should lean into.
@nsdahockey5 ай бұрын
There is a lot of different information. Out there. When skating you ideally want to limit your body weight from being on the heel of your skate. There’s the odd turn or quick move where body weight may be on the heel of the skate but it is rare. If you think of an athletic stance, you’d want your weight on the ball of your foot, same idea with skating. Players blades are rocketed which puts them on their heel or toe at times but they need to try and back to the ball of their foot for balance and power.

Bedard doesn’t push down on the stick to get flex, he has a fairly long stick, that when pulled in really tight to his body has to flex a lot, that paired with the puck is how he flexes his stick
@nsdahockey5 ай бұрын
If you watch Bednard’s snap shot in slow motion he pulls the puck in towards his body, he then pushes on the shaft of his stick with his bottom hand and he release towards the net. The only way to use the flex on a hockey stick is to push with your bottom hand. Using the blade on the ice as a bottom contact point, the top hand of the stick as a top contact point and the bottom hand on the stick pushes forcing the stick to flex adding more power/speed to the shot.
@Reese_md5 ай бұрын
@nsdahockey never said you shouldn’t use your bottom hand, I said you shouldn’t push down on the stick to get flex and power, there’s a different between pushing down and pushing through with the bottom hand

@nsdahockey5 ай бұрын
@@Reese_md I believe we’re saying the same thing, you need to push with your bottom hand, no necessarily down towards the ice but a player will down and through the shot, the pushing motion is what keeps the blade on the ice allowing flex from the shaft which increases power in the shot.

I was coming from the same place. Make sure you get a good stick, it can be a night and day difference. With one stick I feel like I can't get any whip (it's a lower flex too), and the other I can just snap it and it flings off super easy.
@nsdahockey5 ай бұрын
@@jessedahl5746 Good call, flex is very important, the lower flex the more whip on the stick, which can be a great thing depending on what type of player and shooter you are. The less flex makes the stick whippier which can be harder to pick up hard passes, it may whip when battling for pucks, but can help a ton if used properly with a players shooting, using the shaft flex to add speed and power on the shot.
