Used to watch this every day in post grad. All time video

D Book once whispered to a few young men at 5am that poor people sleep in.

Success earned not given

I used to watch this video all the time going through peewee and bantam. I hope if younger me could see me now he’d be proud of the road that I took in hockey.

Come on it’s all genetics b

We nteave naturaly lazy people can so we dont badly want to brrathe. Cant remove class or racism or batriers to jobs so this message is rubbish avoiding sleep dangerous

It's not fair to play explosions in the sky from Friday night lights

“Death is the only limitation to your success, outside of death there is zero excuse for all of you to achieve everything in life, live life every single moment as it would be your last, and let your dying words be, I have no regrets”

“It’s not about what you want, it’s how bad you want what you want.”-my father

Me watching this 9 years after it was posted and motivated me to start working out and working on myself and my career

I’m a goalie and have been pushed down by coaches favourites and kids but I’m gonna push and prove to them they were wrong for not taking me. I had a coach pull me because of one goal.

I played the sport for a long, long time, had to quit because of an injury but I don't regret a minute of playing. I still revisit this video every once in a while because it's that good. I learned a thing or two after all those years so if you'll humor me, I got a couple words of advice for those aspiring to be better at the sport: 1. The team is the most important part of the game. Your teammates should be your ride or dies. No matter what, never fight with them, help them out whenever you can, and always have their back on the ice. The thing I look back on the most fondly was the team aspect of the game. 2. If you want to make it, start putting in the work when no one else is. Be the first one on and the last one off at practice. Put in the hours at home if you gotta practice your stickhandling or shooting. Do the cardio and the weightlifting. Don't just try hard when your ego is on the line or when you're trying to impress somebody. The only one you should be trying to impress is yourself. 3. Win and lose with dignity. You may get your ass kicked somedays but throwing a temper tantrum isn't helping anyone. If you beat someone that had it coming to them, don't rub it in, shake hands and leave. 4. Never trash talk the ref to his face. It doesn't matter if he made a bad call. Don't let your stupidity hurt the team. 5. If you ever get to a point when you're no longer having fun, it's time to reevaluate. Yes hockey is competitive, but the pressure shouldn't be so much that you aren't enjoying the game anymore. Remember why you started playing in the first place. If you're not playing with passion, you might as well not play at all. 6. Pass the puck to an open teammate. I don't care if you think you can deke your way through the entire defense, a goal is a goal. Plus, I always thought assists were just as important. 7. Despite what some might say, your goalie is your most important player. Treat him like it. 8. Learn how to check and how to take a check as soon as you can.

I watch this video every morning to go and get my training in. Absolutely love this.

I want to be a professional hockey player when I grow up, but from this point, I gotta give it everything I got, practice everyday, nonstop, as much as I can, if I want to succeed in life.

This video taught me that if you wanna be successful at something in life, you gotta want it bad as much as you wanna breathe.

loved listening to this before a game.. as a goalie, suited up, head inside the neck hole in my chest protector to take away the lights and going over possible plays that might come my way. I wish i could find that intensity again.

Bug buff as a hawk fighting pronger as a flyer for position in front of the net. Shit the league has changed

What is there like 3 black guys in hockey? Why are we blackifying an entire hockey video all of a sudden?

Pretty cool Sharpie just talked about this, had no idea this happened. legendary

What

I watched this and the next game I got a hat-trick and a assist

Just realized this was made in 2012 it is 2019

This is a football guy saying this speech for football hands down football is the greatest game ever hockey is nothing compared to football

I first came to this video 6 years ago and here I am again

i played single a every year for my entire career so far and one day my coach sat me down and told me i would never score goals. i would never dangle. my job was to be a third line grinder and i needed to except it. after getting cut from that team i moved to a different town team and worked my tail off over the summer to prove that coach i wasn’t bad. we played them during the season and tied 1-1 but i played a hell of a game and got to laugh at him when we got off the ice fast forward two years to where i am now i play for a AAA team, i’m the best kid on the team and the hardest worker and most passionate player by far. all the coaches who cut me for aaa begged me to play for them this year telling me how good they would make me after telling me i sucked. when trying out for one of the top teams in the us i saw that coach again and he told me he would never have expected me to get as good as i am now. i’m 14 years old with the whole world infront of me. if you see this don’t think “i wish i could be that good” go out there and get better. work as hard as you can and one day you will be here too

what’s the song

I will be in the NHL soon

i played house league hockey up until i was 13, said i was done with shit i’m never going to succeed. i told my self id tryout for a AA team and if i didn’t make it i was done with hockey. i made it i played 3rd line the whole season had 11 goals and 13 assist to end the season. Played for the same team next season as assistant captain 1st line highest scorer on the team with 42 goals and 19 assists in 40 games. i now play AAA and have a college prospect camp tomorrow.

Clarky what a guy!! What they didn't show on this vid was the sound guy playing "3 blindmice" over the sound system while Clark was doin this

I didn't make it to a state team , only as an emergency in hockey. Next year I will.

Thank you for uploading this. Changed my life.

Skated this morning. Deadlifted lunchtime. Shot 500 pucks in the afternoon. Watched NHL highlights evening. Improving by 0.01 per cent daily, compounds with time.

Every single year I get cut from AA. I never stopped trying and I finally made it in my first year Midget. But then I got cut. I'm never going to give up and I'm going to make it next year and hopefully play AAA after that. Never give up no matter the circumstances

I scored a double hat trick the day my mom and dad died I still feel like there watching down on me

This helped me through my parents death

I'm 13 and I play JV. I go hard all the time. Dont let anyone get in your head. Don't let someone tell you something that your not be yourself. Work hard. Have fun
