My 21-Day Stickhandling Challenge 🏒

I stickhandled every day for 3 weeks and saw crazy results in my testing.
Watch how I did it, and how you can upgrade your stickhandling with as little as 5 minutes of stickhandling each day!
📱 Download our app "Hockey Training TV" on iOS or Android to improve your hands from home! 📱
I set up a daily challenge (originally 30 days, but cut down to 21 days for a reason you'll see in the video) to see how much I could improve my hands. The rules were that I would either run through a 10-minute stickhandling session from our app or film a stickhandling session for the app. Only 10 minutes per day... which was actually 5 minutes of stickhandling if you include the 5 minutes of rest as we go 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off for each drill. The results blew me away.
I love these type of challenge videos and hope you guys are enjoying them too. Next up for a stickhandling challenge might have to be 365 days straight. I would need some accountability partners though... who's up for it!?

just skated and have a vid to watch from you guys! Love it keep up the content we love!

[@danielmelkevik2148]

Lets go! Insane results 🏒🏒💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@TechniqueHockey]

Hi Kevin! I did almost the same challenge (10 mins a day, figure 8s, stickhandling speed, but no backhand toe-drags) for a full year. My results weren't as impressive as yours (what results in just 21 days!), but I'm still very happy with what I got after this year of stickhandling 🏒 More confidence, more control, more fun 😃 If you want to learn more about how my challenge went, let me know. I posted a full summary on my blog, but KZbin seems to block the link (this is the second time I post this comment). Anyway, congratulations again for the results you got, it's very inspiring and makes me want to go even further. 💪 Keep continue the great job with coach Dan ! 👍👍 Dorian, from France

[@cheapskategamer8562]

A lot has to do with muscle growth in wrist and forearm muscles. Try buying 5 to 10 pound stick weights that wrap around the shaft of your stick when you are practicing. My stick is loaded with 15 pounds of stick weights. I have 3 five pound stick weights wrapped around my shaft. You will notice after only a few weeks maybe a month depending on how long and often you practice that not only are your hands faster because now your stick feels like it weighs nothing but your shot power will also increase. I would start at 5 pounds than after you feel like it's going great increase another 5 pounds than another. Do not load up all stick weights right away. Build to it or you will find your top hand and forearm will burn out really quick. Cheers

[@jlo2o199]

im super interested? thanks for commenting. my skating is legit, but my stick handling practice is almost non existent. finally got. stick yesterday and am about to follow in all of yalls footsteps. Today was day one.. looking forward to the interesting soreness that sure to come tomorrow. gosh.

I Just started hockey this season, and have been trying to get better than my bro. he's 2 years younger than me ( i'm 17) and plays U18 Rep tier 2 as a first liner and i got until January 1st to roster as an AP. been doing this for about an hour every day and i'm already insanely better. Love the content its super useful keep it up!

[@tbhidk3296]

I have been doing the same thing but for 30min I'm a new player who has been playing for 5 months and currently in tier 4. I use your app and absolutely love every detail and your videos thanks your app has helped me a lot!.

[@hockeytraining]

Love hearing that... keep at it!

[@fletchlives8517]

Got home from hockey just in time. Let’s go baby

[@samcarrier821]

Insane results!

[@welcometosnellcast]

Hey mate, great vid. Do you use a shorter stick for this? And if so, do you get a slightly lower flex to compensate for this?

[@afmoney161]

Had a ganglion cysts that formed years ago. Glad I had it surgically removed and never had the bump return since!

[@cdy757]

App downloaded and Instagram followed. Me and my partner want to get into ice hockey, looks like this will make a big difference

[@hockeytraining]

Lets go!!!

[@austonb8410]

I’m available if you need an accountability partner. Another great video.

[@2gen_alharic]

Hey, where in your app can I see the exact drills you did? Or like a playlist or smth. I’m trying to make double A next season and this looks amazing. Man cysts suck though. Great progress though man.

Can I ask what kind of board is that? The video is absolutely inspiring🔥 and I wanna try this too!

[@hockeytraining]

Are you talking about the synthetic ice? Those were from hockey shot: bit.ly/icetiles

[@xnathanhx412]

Inspired me to do the same starting today

[@hockeytraining]

Let's go!!

[@ozz3790]

Great video... but.... 1- whats that surface are u using? 2- u dont have skates on. So u hold the stick in different points? If u had the skates on u d be higher so whats the point of improving in a way u wont be like on the ice???

[@hockeytraining]

1 - Synethic ice tiles or stickhandling/shooting pad 2 - I cut my stick shorter so it's the same height.

[@ozz3790]

@@hockeytraining ah ok thanks

[@joshw604]

i've started this challenge, keen for the results. but i can't even get 1 no look backhand toe drag...should i just start with not having my head up?

[@hockeytraining]

Yes, you should get comfortable with the movement first and then work on head up. Make sure you're doing other drills with head up though, like your standard stickhandling on your forehand side

[@rusty456]

What fake ice / tiles are you using?

[@edvardasplund7559]

Did u watch a spesific stickhandeling video or just all of them in the app

[@hockeytraining]

I did a variety of them. I tried to choose some that had backhand toe drags in them so I could get that work in too

[@andrewburkovsky9442]

Hmmm... Video doesn't mention what the everyday training was like though (except some timing comments). It Shows before and after tests, but what was the actual training routine?

[@hockeytraining]

They were stickhandling sessions from the Hockey Training TV app. You can download it and check them out. Basically, a variety of drills with limited equipment needed... each session usually has 5 drills and we do each drill 2x30 secs.

[@tombarni6009]

@@hockeytraining are mentioned videos free? Or just after contracting the trial month?

[@hockeytraining]

@@tombarni6009 Many are free without any trial. The ones that aren't in the free category will need a paid membership

[@lisaf94]

i dont play any sort of organized hocokey, but i love to glide around on my rollerblades and want to work on some hockey skills just for fun. are gloves necessary? do they improve skill? or is it just for protection?

[@hockeytraining]

Just for protection. I use them when stickhandling most of the time to replicate the on ice feel best

[@WamaiR6]

I'm turning 18 in October and I weigh around 143 pounds at 5'11 should I try gaining more weight?

[@hockeytraining]

Functional weight, yes. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DIeaeMaK5jma8

Bruh, let yourself heal. I have been just watching you fall apart through each series.

[@hockeytraining]

Haha at least this one was from tennis... hopefully this is the last injury during my challenges

[@xypo1138]

That thumbnail 😂

[@iamworriedsick]

what tiles are those. i got some from snipers edge and pucks do NOT slide like that

[@iamworriedsick]

those sound like thier not ice pucks though

[@hockeytraining]

Hockey Shot and the puck isn’t a regular puck as those don’t slide well either. It’s called a Dangle Puck

[@UKenn78]

If I don’t have a hockey floor will a hockey ball work?

[@hockeytraining]

Yes but I would recommend a Green Biscuit instead

[@HockeyHawk]

Those ganglion cysts are little bastards! Impressive and motivating results!

Thanks Sarah!

ALL THE STICK HANDLING SKILLS IN THE WORLD ARE USELESS AGAINST A SMART DEFENSEMAN THAT PLAYS THE PLAYER, NOT THE PUCK.

[@edwarddegan1918]

No necessarily just do tight turns on them and dangle usually works, however there is the occasional all star defenseman that’s on your ass

[@2gen_alharic]

@@edwarddegan1918how old are you 10? If you are in full contact hockey yeah stickhandlings great but you should learn the body first
