[@jackolson7039]

Same thing

[@adamorlowski4886]

@Leslie Warhol shut up

[@ryanmcg4471]

I have a game tonight and I’ll try this

[@trevorharder9895]

Hey guys, I really enjoyed that video! It was clearly explained while also giving a visual of what it should look like and it’s simple enough for even beginners like me to pick up no problem. 🙌🏼 great vid boys

[@paulesmond3419]

Thanks for the video. I started playing defense this year and people have really helped me get more comfortable with it. I really enjoy it. Next game, I will have to keep in mid to keep my outside shoulder lined up to the winger's shoulder.

[@noahelliott5458]

Could you make some more videos on how to play defense? I really loved Defense 101 - Using the Markings and this video. I play defense on my team.

[@CoachJeremy]

We have two more for this series, universal defense tricks, and playing 1 on 1 with a player against the boards.

[@noahelliott5458]

Thanks! So excited!

[@wxsane]

[@yashabreslove3131]

These videos are super helpful. Thank you so much for making all of these.

[@CAVEMANsean]

Great video Jeremy, and for those defensemen that don't think you can use your stick to drive them to the outside I do it all day in-game, only 1 of 2 things USUALLY happen either they take what you give them or they'll try to dangle you but if you've matched their speed that probably won't work out. Hey Jeremy you should do a video on when to turn as a dman I see a lot of beginner's back skating then they wait til the guy is already by them to turn around and basically take themselves out of the play.

[@jm1211]

Thanks bud Thats great all your Videos come online one our before my practice so i can use right after i saw it

[@laurawood4835]

Great tips. I play field hockey but I'm still going to try these out

[@LAPesos]

Great video! Great series! Great Page across the boards! Loe all your work bra! Please keep up the good work!!! Thx

[@mechwd-gaming]

Love these type of videos, please do more.

[@johnd8978]

Thanks for the great video! My 10 year old son is a full time defenseman. He gets caught doing a one handed poke check way too often. Hopefully he'll listen to you, since he of course hates DAD teaching him, lol

[@TheRedKingsArt__]

Hahah, I realate to this to much, my dad used to tell me the same stuff.

[@ispgravy4233]

Your son is 15 now

[@jakehey222]

@@ispgravy4233 yup lol

[@what-pl3qu]

he is 16 now

[@cly-rd6qw]

Is your son a professional now?

[@randybarrett7]

I really enjoyed these videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@darthtater300]

I keep my stick in one hand and close to my body so the offenseman has the illusion that my stick is shorter so I can then poke check. Also, another tip is to never look down at the puck. In fact, stare straight into the offenseman's eyes and follow his chest everywhere. This will prevent him dekeing or trying to go through your legs because if he attempts any of those trashy show off moves, you can just body up on him and block his path.

[@jamesj6597]

Thanks. Sharing this with my son and his teammates.

[@tingwang2023]

So helpful, Jeremy!

Thanks!

Hope it helps Peter!

[@mrgreenbaypackers9825]

Good video

[@Ctappy9]

Same

[@airdriehockeybros6814]

great video. One problem is that the person with the puck can almost always skate faster forward then defense going backward.

[@Yeer718]

Just started roller hockey.. I'm a lacrosse player so it'll take some getting used to not checking people when they get too close

[@Vandalized]

kjisthecoolest how old are you? if you are 16 or above (in canada) you should be able to hit on ice

[@Yeer718]

Vandalized im 21 but I play roller not ice.

[@calebosterhout1038]

Show us how to line up a big hit

[@JeffreyJeffreyFLF]

I wana see a defence video were your forward opponent is skating fast and your defending skating in backward crossovers.

[@lightweave]

I wish I had a trainer on ice who explains such stuff. 👍

[@firefighter117s]

I gave him the slash alright and got a game penalty instructions unclear

[@bartblbatosha1524]

COOL

[@carmelinamarr6377]

When you try and find a comment from earlier than a year ago: o_0

[@curtfreese9156]

Should you play the man or play the puck?

[@xefair7959]

in the video he's telling you to play the man, and then when you're in the corner, play the puck.

[@tah19731973]

Hi I have a question please - If a guy is coming in on me, one my side of the ice, one on one, but i have my d partner on the other side of the ice, and my options are to send their forward to his fore hand along the boards or back hand into the middle ( where i have help) , what is the best move? Thanks

[@danielsanchips9719]

move him to the boards and have the other defenseman pick up someone that might be trailing for a pass. as a defenseman you never want to give up the middle of the ice, because on the boards forces the forward to pass, rather than shoot from the slot if you push him towards your partner

[@tah19731973]

Daniel Sanchips never said thanks so thank you 😊

[@Davethehorse321]

I got a men’s league game tonight against a team we lost to 3-2, I better take notes!

[@lhstodqaimvf]

I almost didn't recognize you at first

[@ZZ-uf1fs]

Some games i do so good and some, i do so many things wrong? How do i get a lot of energy before games??... I’m young..

[@teomanakoezbek8964]

1v1 defense: wenn aussuchen zu der seite drängen wo spieler auf rückhand ist, und zur seite wo du schläger in hand hälst

[@jackzehr2491]

1.Look at their chest 2.Have your stick back a little bit, you never want the player to know his or her limits, so when they get close, you get the kill

[@DenisMorissetteJFK]

Great tips, but when you go on the ice the first time after, I'm not sure you'll apply these teachings. You will most likely use your normal techniques.

[@MrAvocadoMan]

+Denis Morissette Whats up kennedy

[@maximusrusso8758]

You just keep it in mind and try to slowly incorporate them into your game

[@johnnyslokes2712]

Weird, I'm more comfortable passing with my backhand and even if I wanted to pass or shoot with my forehand bad enough, all you gotta slam the brakes after you get your desired depth and then let it rip

[@loganp7212]

jokes on you my backhand passes are impecable

[@janinerosenberg2030]

1:03 Jeremy says, “I can make him more uncomfortable.” It sounds just wrong.

[@coasterfanatic3441]

I’d just check him...

[@Comboshot_1]

What if you're going up against Connor McDavid

[@roughryder5]

Man, I suck at hockey.

[@JustWickedSwede]

When I played defence I didn't try to poke with the stick. I backed up and then suddently stopped and took the player down. His consentration was on the puck, and it was sort of a surprise move. Worked every time.

[@jbryan5163]

Why do you have two hands on your stick? I never see D have two hands on their stick while defending

[@howtohockeytraining]

The older style is to have one hand on the stick. With this you can impede the player with your free hand, and you get a bit more reach on the poke check. A lot of defensemen still use this style, however you can't really use the free hand to grab players anymore as that usually will get you a penalty. With two hands on the stick you get more power in the poke checks, and when you get the puck you'll be ready to make a play and pass because you already have two hands on the stick. It's really personal preference though and still depends on some situations

[@nintendovspcuniverse]

the glass is realy short

[@jairdenrussell5690]

3 best ways to fake a shot

[@nvclips4913]

doesn't work i try lol😂

[@Cruz474]

Keep getting dangled by people who think its game 7 at rat, im here to put an end to that sht lmao.

[@Koukkukoukku_]

u need to hold the stick on one hand... the player is gonna go pass you if you keep it in two hands😂😂😂

[@richlucy981]

This. Well a lot more than this. But we'll start with this.

[@dave1927p]

why are you giving the guy your zone. You have to try and stop him at the blue line.

[@howtohockeytraining]

I agree in some situations. It depends on your gap, their attack, speed, etc. Personally I love when I have speed in the neutral zone and a defensemen tries to stop me at the blue line. I throw one fake, side step and I have the whole zone to decide what to do on the goalie.

[@voltage80x]

Trying hard to stop them in the neutral zone will often result in you getting faked because all the space they have and a nice breakout for them.
