How to Stickhandle In Hockey - Stickhandling Guide Basics For Beginners With Off Ice Hockey Drills

[@LyricRichardson_JTLR]

I agree with Drew, you were a key factor in me learning hockey late in life

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

That's awesome to hear! I was also a late starting and finding good videos (at that time) was difficult. Glad our videos helped you. Thanks for your support and kind words

[@OrdnanceTV]

People complain about the dumbest shit in KZbin comments of tutorial videos. Excellent work as always. Love your videos, very informative and you immediately follow up all descriptions with actual examples. Good teaching is priceless. I'm just surprised to be learning so much from someone across the pond, being from Pittsburgh I had expected better lessons from the champ city! Thanks again.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Really appreciate your kind words Drew, we love what we do here and love to know our videos help. Massive thanks from across the pond.

[@charliecammack127]

Your videos are great. I started ice hockey yesterday and stick handling is my weakness. I also got my new pair of skates sharpened and now I can't stop, but I watched your other video on that so I need to go public skating now and practice skating on my sharpened skates rather than blunt ones.. Lots of stuff to do, loving it. Thanks.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thanks for the tip, I've always preferred a slightly longer stick. Thanks for watching.

[@prelledj]

i love that you put rudimental stuff into work. i never put my conciousness into these movements but i think i can improve a lot by practising your drills. thanks so much :)

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thank you for watching Brian.

[@Nitin-mb6qn]

Never seen a better tutorial 🙏🙏🙏

[@oldmanscribbe1]

As a terrified beginner very glad to find these vids

[@alexanderschu1955]

Super helpful, even after 2 years of very sporadic hockey experience I learned a lot during your video and should be able to root out some basic mistakes. Thanks alot!

[@pu89ck]

Best instructional video I've ever viewed ! Much appreciated !

[@billreal8692]

My sons get inspired to practice when they watch these videos.

[@bryantauchert1601]

Thanks for teaching me, man. I appreciate you.

[@mmink.]

Hey HT! Is playing on hard wood bad for your stick without a wraparound?

[@motogig7803]

Another thing you can do with stick handling drills is to move the puck back and forth with your head up not looking down at the puck. Feel the puck on your stick. Feel is very important. The more your head is up the more ice you can see finding players and also helps you from ending up on your ass. Good video I enjoyed it.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

This is very helpful, thanks.

[@j.nguyen26]

Thank yooouuu you are very helpful and hockey so far has been really fun I love it

[@mikeyd301839]

Another great vid chris as usual. Just a quick question if I may. When I try to practice my stickhandling with my "outside" stick, the blade doesn't come into contact with the ground, only the heel does. Am I holding it wrong or is it too long as I'm not wearing skates. Many thanks in advance.

[@mikeyd301839]

Got it sorted, many thanks. I just cut a couple of inches of my stick now the"lie" is perfect. I cut my wooden (Reebok 3k) stickhandling stick an inch or so more than my game stick so i can stick handle wearing trainers. Again many thanks.

[@mutassemalsulaiman7193]

You Rock Man.. all your videos are out of this world ..

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Your welcome, thank you for the feedback and for watching.

[@ericazeigler2549]

I love this video.Its really inspiring.

[@aidenvlogs2500]

Thanks for telling us about hockey

[@MrEyeskel]

Most things are correct here, although 2 things. the heel of the blade is the most stable part to handle from especially when on the side of the body. Closest and flatest part of the blade, and you should always be in an athletic stance and shifting your weight around when handling to properly mimic when on skates. And for best result have a stick which has been cut down about the height of your skate blade and holder, Eg if the you main stick is at your chin while on skates have your off ice stick cut to ur chin without skates. This will allow proper muscle memory. :)

[@grantholovy9837]

Hi, can you do How to do backwards crossovers video? I need practice and help! Thanks!

[@haiiro777]

I like these tuturials

[@aidenvlogs2500]

I also subscribed,liked and shared it

[@madmanownzall]

So when I'm just dribbling from left to right about shoulder length I always seem to flip the puck over when transitioning from left to right ? Am I chopping at it or not cupping the puck enough or to much maybe??

[@tcgamer5061]

I have Ben practice this at summer school

[@downtoearthpeople]

Another great video. You know your skating and hockey man

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thank you so much :).

[@anabolti682]

You're a legend mate

[@owenmessina6768]

I know it's for beginners but if your older and looking for drills to do and you decide to do it keep your head up because when hitting comes around if you look down it may not end so well for you

[@joel7190]

Nice

[@downtoearthpeople]

great video Chris.

[@blackpigeon1097]

how do i stop myself from hitting the floor too much and having my stick on the puck when doing soft touches

[@liamconneely7156]

Nice I like to play hockey to nice voice

[@sy84]

Im a 30 odd year old man from the UK and I’ve always wanted to play hockey, what is the best way to start or am i just too old now?

[@jollybeenz]

Not sure if you’ve had any help with this. A lot of rinks in the UK hold an Adults Hockey Basics course that takes you from no hockey skills through both skate and stick handling skills. If you have a Planet Ice run rink near you, check with them. I’m starting the course at the Hemel Hempstead rink in January. If your local rink doesn’t offer the formal courses, a lot of them will have casual puck and stick sessions as well as adult recreational teams. The teams run the entire spectrum from no skills, non checking pay the fee and play all the way up to you need to try out or have been former pro level.

[@IceHockeyPro1]

Could anyone offer advice/help? Whenever I stickhandle, my top hand is drawn towards the side of my body instead of infront of it. Also my stickhandling is much worse when I stickhandle with both hands infront.

[@blubblab4238]

You have to get youste to it

[@MarkusSuomela]

Your stick might be too long

[@darthsidious8104]

Yes

[@jasoncreatore5849]

You’re so good at stick handling

[@TheSpidermanJerry]

cool

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thanks for watching.

[@purplecottonmouth5649]

What does the glove do?

[@marylandman8823]

Purple CottonMouth It’s for when you’re playing hockey on ice so the puck doesn’t hit your hands and break them

[@KOB2717]

"in this case the ball"

[@quickscoperking1]

Awesome (Y)

Empty toilet roll tube comes in handy, For those who roll both wrists all the time.

👍👍👍👍do not stop teaching. 50+ plus grandmother learning to play and ice skating. You are definitely teaching me how to suck eggs 👍👍👍👍👍☺☺☺☺

[@damone70]

You're giving praise to this late starter, hack who has no experience or business giving advice about hockey. Hahahaha... you're proof that there's a sucker born every minute.

[@reedasledzewski566]

He has two different gloves. Why?

[@itznightraid847]

You play with a puck right?

[@samiya4ever100911]

he's wearing different gloves

[@kmoreno21]

Did anyone hear someone crying at 3:25

[@rameenali3252]

Yes

[@cohenryan5359]

That’s wrong, when you stick handle on your backhand your supposed to have the ball/puck on the heel of the stick I’m friends with a guy who was on the Washington capitals. He said that was correct.

[@olivercostello4577]

Who

[@KOB2717]

the irony

[@j.nguyen26]

It’s just preference honestly me and a friend of mine do it differently but we are just as good if you learned it a certain way do it that way.

[@firelight80_59]

Ummmm why is you stick taller than you

[@JurassicBlack1]

"The puck or in this case the ball" so annoying! We know it's a ball not a puck! Apart from that good vid man.

[@imi7812]

LOL thats what she said....

[@chasingmypinnacle]

Decent vid, but the echo is actual aids.

[@banimalx]

love your videos. but you are talking too much

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

+Rio-Ma Brunna Thanks but these are tutorials... That's kind of the whole point.

[@RDTheAwesome]

+Hockey Tutorial yeah

[@madmanownzall]

Rio-Ma Brunna the more explanation and break down of how to do it , the better if you ask me

[@KOB2717]

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial we get it's a ball dude you must think we are dumb as fuck to have to repeat it 200 times

[@nickc6399]

You have two different gloves on and the stick is way to big

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Stick length is personal preference and I'm using the Dangle Glove which is a stickhandling training tool. That's why I have one different glove on (mention at the VERY start of the video).

[@nickc6399]

What position do you play that you need that big of a stick. NHL defense men don't use that big of one. And how tall are you like 6ft? The stick should be cut to at least your nose or a little bigger for defense men.

[@kellenbrennan6992]

+Nicholas Capizzi with skates my stick is to the top of my head, I have a way harder and more accurate slap and wrist shot, I can steal the puck easier, intercept passes easier and juke easier, the only down side for my is breakaways since it's harder to hand the puck under your body since the stick is big. but for the most part it works for me, just had to do some adjusting and getting use to and it made a huge benefit in my game. has far as handling, you won't be able to do datsuks style but instead jagr and kovalchucks style of (keeping the puck far from your body) stick handling

[@kellenbrennan6992]

+Nicholas Capizzi I'm 5'8 and added an inch buttend to my stock sr warrior. When you buy a new stick try 3 inches higher than you normally go and see if it works for you

[@aaronwhite1786]

+Nicholas Capizzi Did you miss that personal preference part? That means unique to the person using it, and what they like. Why are you trying to tell someone how to keep their stick?
