Broad street bully right there lol

[@aaronlatham5161]

I am 100% never going to play ice hockey, but I am 100% going to subscribe to his channel and watch intently. Why? I have no idea but it is amazing to watch.

[@aaronlatham5161]

And no, I don’t know that a C-Cut is. But I want one.

[@RIISK04]

[@Conn30Mtenor]

Hockey 🏒 is an amazing sport.

[@CompletelyInadequate]

man this guy coaching skills are phenomenal you can tell he loves what he does

[@Josh_Vaughn]

As a first year Bantam this helped a lot…thanks

[@johnk3734]

Please don’t flinch when you’re taking a hit, IE rolling your shoulders… that will result in injury to shoulders

[@yousif428]

Great content. I am just too old for ice hockey now, age is 42. But I would love to have this man as my coach.

[@Colbyw74]

never too old go join a mens league!!

[@Vastilious]

Not too old but it will be harder

[@WhateverIsayIswrong]

My dads was 50 when he started hockey. 2 Years in he’s healthier and doing great!

[@78logistics]

I am 63 and play both goal and wing at least seven times a week.

[@wideopenangling2123]

My dad 47 and still plays 3 times a week

[@fyter889]

I was searching the difference between a fair hit and a crosscheck, can you do a video on it?

[@devilsfancolin5070]

Don’t hold the stick with both hands if ur gonna push them get the stick out of the way and then push

[@Ijustwannagohome0212]

I love your contents. So straightforward and kind

[@Fowsta]

I needed to learn how to check, and well with you teaching me, I learned in minutes. I should show this to my team.

[@RESET_CHARACTER-N0W.]

Truly awesome lesson!!

[@AlanenJ]

Thanks, this is really helpful.

[@itrainhockey]

You are welcome.

[@Colbyw74]

this is a phenomenal coach!

[@motleycat5030]

great vid, never learnt how to hit head on for defence, I always have to wait till they go kinda past me so I can push their shoulder from beside.

[@marinecorp179]

I enjoy watching hockey, but never understood the hits. This was a good base understanding of hits. Do you have any videos regarding what would be a clean vs dirty hit that results in boarding? I tried watching videos from the NHL and other explanations from fans but i am still so damn confused. some of the clean hits shown looked like they were hitting the head or didn't show in a way you presented, albeit, I know hockey is a fast paced game but I don't understand the boarding. A good example was the Rangers vs Islanders stadium series a few days ago where a player was checked/hit and a lot of fans were calling for boarding but a fan behind me said it was clean because he didn't hit the boards first, he hit ice first. I'm all kinds of confused on it. Any videos to explain the difference amongst the two?

[@projectzorgo5135]

I’m watching this because I just started aaa bantam

[@itrainhockey]

Awesome!

[@annabellaf5720]

im planning to join boys hockey (as a girl) next year when checking is allowed and so far im practicing hitting with my older brother but, this was really helpful and descriptive instead of me and my brother just hitting eachother lol

[@mrsentinel6815]

Good luck! Didnt even know that was alllwed to be honest. Whats the locker room situation like though theres no way girls would be allowed to dress on the same room as guys right

[@TheJaguarGod]

Hope you are doing well so far! In my league, a lot of the girls get knocked down since they are smaller and weaker than the other boys

[@wouldntyouliketoknow9455]

For some reason I found myself watching the coach's skates. Like, the way he moves is fascinating to me.

[@user-lt-is-Sever]

[@TerrysTwigReviews]

I got smoked back in the day,,,, bandaid

[@DeadFox77]

everybody does. Its how you learn to smoke others

[@davepett6531]

At 60 I’m old enough to remember checking from the time I was a squirt . I don’t Agree teaching this at bantam the size difference in kids starting to mature and those that haven’t yet can be 90 pounds and a foot difference in height . I coached mites through juniors and I want to scream because at the bantam level they should already know how to give and receive a proper check

[@Play2Start]

Do not ask what I am doing today

[@lilytartaglia258]

im a girl but i still hit in hockey LMAO

[@jasonfournier]

You should add a disclaimer that everything taught in this video is illegal contact in USA Hockey. The exact opposite technique is the only thing allowed at 14U and up.

[@thomasrawluk6422]

this is canadian hockey

[@robwilkins304]

Teaching how to take a hit buddy... Points to protect chest and lead with shoulder are valid. Obviously he over emphasized the low stance and coming up

[@TTH247]

@@thomasrawluk6422 It's not obvious to everyone.

[@tyson2b2t]

u can hit like the in america

[@jasonfournier]

@@tyson2b2t nope. Not according to USA hockey. Different in high school though since they don't play under USA hockey rules.

[@RowanMcMahan]

if the check doesnt go through you will cause a major sleufoot.

[@jacksydow2487]

cayden had zero sty

[@darrenboeckle48]

Not according to USA hockey anymore. No attempt to play the puck

[@jasonfournier]

Yup. All of these are illegal checks.

[@rickpurich8264]

USA hockey needs to go.. (It wants to teach heads down hockey) It is the checkers responsibility to protect the puck carrier. so they say.

[@harmagician1]

USA Hockey's rule to lead with the stick and play the puck before a hit is an attempt to take 'lighting up' or punishing a player out of the game. Hits must now serve a purpose which is to regain puck possession.

[@jasonfournier]

@@harmagician1 the new rules prevent finishing checks promote playing the puck instead of the body. Two concepts that are the opposite of how defending was always taught. Not sure how players growing up playing this style will do against competition that don't follow these new rules. Such as international play and also currently high schools don't follow this.

[@tylertravaglio8877]

95% of the time, these checks aren't even getting called under the new rules. Couple reasons, refs know this game is fast, and USA Hockey is asking too much from players to let up after they've already committed to the hit. Secondly, I've noticed a big change in physicality from players themselves, they're worried about being called for it, so all they do is just bump into them, no extra push or force. It is certainly underpreparing our kids for the future and it's bullshit.

[@Zz-hq8gn]

How does an ice hockey check compared to football hit? Obviously a speed difference, but still

[@Rex73777]

It's like 30% harder hitting.

[@frankcollins6580]

@@ursamajor6347 an average NHL player (200lb) skates 3 times faster than the fastest NFL runner. Momentum = mass x velocity. The football player would have to weigh almost 550-600lb for it to be mathematically comparable

[@DiamondScuff]

@@ursamajor6347 Hockey hits are harder, football hits are more consistent. Theres big boys on the rink + football players are ready to get hit. Sometimes a hockey player catches a hit by surprise.

[@DiamondScuff]

@@ursamajor6347 Your logic would make sense if hockey players were sitting still. Compare this to a car crash if someone is driving 40kmph and hits a pole thats stand still the impact would be 40kmph. Now if someone is driving 40kmph and runs into another car driving 40kmph the impact would be 80kmph. Im not saying by anymeans football players are pu33ies or anything cause there not. Football players get more concussions because every play they are tackling. A hockey player might take 1-2 hits a game or 1-2 big hits a season. Its not nearly as many hits. But the hits are a lot faster and the impact is a lot more. Padding doesnt help internally when the force are huge. Think about this. Hockey players are legally allowed to fist fight were if you were outside the rink you would be getting an assault charge lol. Hockeys tough.

[@DiamondScuff]

@@ursamajor6347 There was literally a "research" with easports claiming hockey hit were 17% harder lol. Try again. Dont forget the full blown fist fights. You cant knock down a spot were people literally fight like there boxing lmao.
