The top hand in his ribs at the end was pure gold!😂

[@RofICopters]

You mean through the whole video

[@scratr11]

But he goes elbow to rib cage when he’s stick handling lmao

[@chrismdb5686]

Those that can't do teach, as they say.

[@epelly3]

It’s more about his arm being off the body which he does his hand is what’s close to the body

[@daveruby2854]

That's why he's not in the NHL lol

[@voiceofreason7567]

*I do the “hand to pork sword” alot

[@blakeski9145]

Nope, elbow was out hand was in on the body, read a book

Playing youth ice hockey was one of the greatest times of my life.

[@Latvijas_Amēlija]

Me too man😢... although i wasnt able to play untill i was 13 so i didnt get that many years in and we were too broke for rep

[@RemmyRiffs]

​@@Latvijas_Amēlija Play now. Beer league is massive. Adult leagues are literally everywhere now.

[@koehlza]

Check out current top players (mcdavid, Crosby, bedard, etc). Their top hand is almost glued to the top of their hip as their base position when they have the puck. You become much more versatile and agile.

[@RP-rm7po]

So true, I only play my back arm out when receiving hard sauce or on an on-hand snapshot

[@kirkelleson642]

He’s mostly talking about in stride when skating. You never want it tucked in when in stride and stick handling. However You do bring it closer to your body for a quick snapper, a deek or within traffic which is often.

[@koehlza]

@@kirkelleson642 that's what better players do though. Maybe full speed forward stride where you have one hand on your stick. Linear crossovers and shuffle strides/corkscrew dominate the majority of skating in games now and the better players keep their top hand very close to their hip unless making some specific dekes or shooting.

[@kirkelleson642]

@@koehlza no they don’t. I’ve played hockey since 5yrs old so i personally know from experience. It may look closer when seeing from your tv but proper technique is hand off your hip and not glued to it as your wrists will also guide your elbow. Quick and fast stick handling to set up a rapid shot maybe. It might be closer like 6-10” But top hand should never ibe “glued” to the hip.

[@koehlza]

@@kirkelleson642 we might be arguing over semantics and definition of "glued". I'm not trying to say it's literally attached to your hip, but much closer than the gap he was trying to show as proper technique. He literally says to keep your top hand out and then when he demonstrates pulls it back in. I've also played hockey since I was 5 and the game is a lot different now, players are much more skilled, but some coaches are still using a lot of outdated techniques.

Top notch bro😂

This is the type of guy I just wouldn’t want to listen to

[@ufciceman8975]

Hes a goof

[@Fraustyy]

Form is objective. Everyone’s form is different because our bodies are different. Crosby and McDavid do not follow this style of stickhandling. That doesn’t mean what this coach is saying is wrong. But he has to keep in mind that if everyone skated, stickhandled, passed, and shot the same exact way you’d have a lot of players hindering themselves. Watch Kaprisov stickhandle too that is another big example.

[@guitarplayer30001]

you can tell how they initiate stickhandling?

[@Fraustyy]

@@guitarplayer30001 watch them play? not that hard man

[@guitarplayer30001]

@@Fraustyy i just figured its hard to tell

[@CipherSerpico]

“Objective” = “not open to different interpretations; i.e. verifiable/factual; Or, “without bias”. _”Subjective”_ is the word that describes something that has “more than one correct answer”; Or, something that is not based on logic/facts.

[@martinbinkier7278]

I laid down on the ice but I didnt get better at stick handling. In fact it became more difficult.

[@CipherSerpico]

Then, you obviously need more practice, and more Fiber in your diet.

[@rmsalkin]

Fantastic channel, great tips.

[@PurpleElephant808]

This coach managed to hold the kids attention AND the parents at the same time lol

[@davegaluski5224]

Amazing coach

[@XaviRonaldo0]

This explains why most hockey players are left handed.

[@aaronstrait2925]

I haven't played since a was a wee lad, but yeah it always felt perfect for me, being a leftie

[@DesilateLamprophony]

This is the first video this guy has ever created that could actually be useful to travel teams and Elite Youth Hockey players. A lot of high school players could benefit from extending arms and rolling the top-hand wrist.

[@sand_is_greaney]

Don’t discredit his other stuff

[@kristian3151]

I wish we had coaches like this in the 90’s when I was playing youth hockey. Im 39 now and still being able to improve little things despite my age to implement into my (mediocre), yet competitive and quite fisty beer league.

[@JuztZack]

This is as fast as I can goooooo 😂love it

[@stuartzoo]

Your vids are top-flight man!

[@christopherfernandes9373]

"keep arms off the body" says go and immediately places his top hand close to his body.

[@p-ast-cyr26]

What a coach! The goddamn best!

[@shaun374]

And this is why left handed players are so prevalent in hockey. Because many right handed players play left because their top hand is key.

[@trevor437]

Sometimes I love these videos because it brings me right back to early morning practices when I was a little guy.

[@RemmyRiffs]

I play beer league and I watch videos like this all the time. You literally never stop learning.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

I feel like I learned things I'll never use but still appreciate it.

[@hauntingthegrave]

Good fundamentals 🙌🏼🤘🏼

[@08132.]

Great teacher

[@chevelle1]

His exaggerated wide stances, strides and movements in every video are something you see with these trainers, but rarely, if ever with pros.

[@RemmyRiffs]

Have you ever trained? It HAS to be exaggerated to show exactly what the movements are.

[@danielcavallaro7204]

Nailed it..100% right

The Nike tech though

It’s all preference

[@Next2Null]

"The lower you are, the easier it is to control", sounds like dribbling at a quick pace. Wish I got the chance to play hockey as a kid

[@taz_trader]

you can still try man , theres adult leagues for entry level players . you can even go try a pickup game with openice usually on weekends

[@bigmoose8215]

“Keep the arm off the body” then demonstrates with arm tucked into the body

[@onestoolpigeon7010]

Ight cool now I just need to learn how to ice skate

[@codyh7826]

Tyler Kennedy has training videos and he basically says do the opposite in close,isolation,control,technique and he’s made it to the show

[@709mash]

Yeah, this guy seems to be making it up as he goes. Something about him seems off.

[@canyonpicture4833]

This video gave me PTSD

[@ultimatesteve]

A lot of the stuff you see in these videos comes naturally over time. Nobody sat down and thought about how you should do this or that, they just did it. Everything in sports is made up at some point. There's no blueprint.

[@Vacohockey]

Great vid 🏒💪

[@bangthemgears9999]

Arms off the body but goes back to the body 🫤

[@Swirlydread730]

As someone who plays roller hockey, I still find it mind blowing how he can just easily slide his skates out like that to get a lower stance

[@709mash]

Ice helps.

[@somethingsomething8511]

Hips down, knees bent, elbows out.

[@tellyflavorr9917]

Thats some mew york kind of coach 😂

[@tbarr_8]

Another good example of puck handling technique is Taylor Hall, one of the best puck carriers in the NHL.

[@sveannnnnnn7578]

nhl top player has their stick to their hip. they dont have hands far away from body.

[@zebdawson3687]

Not just the top, like literally every single player tucks the hand in to their body. I don’t think this guy knows what he’s talking about, either that or NHL players are clearly playing incorrectly. 😂

[@zebdawson3687]

“No puck handler in the NHL skates like this (with their top hand tucked near their body)” Then at 0:54 dude IMMEDIATELY tucks his hand into his body as he handles the puck. Also, I’m watching NHL playoff hockey and literally every single player handling the puck tucks their hand into their body, seriously watch ANY NHL player handle the puck. Either everyone else (including himself) is wrong in how they handle the puck or this dude is just spinning a tale. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@decent.genius]

Sounds a little like Canada.

[@cameronknox4605]

I get what he’s saying but nobody skates that low when stick handling lol and the strides he teaches aren’t the most accurate either but definitely a good coach 💯

[@cameronedwards6593]

Love what he is saying but right after what he says he puts his hand on his hip! I will say I have played hockey my entire life and I am a hip stick handler. I have a theory that people who can skate very well stick handle on the hip and those who aren't blessed in skating skill stick handle better off the body..... don't know if it is true just something I have noticed

[@noahpetherbridge5127]

Imagine paying thousands of dollars for your 7 your old to hear/see this

[@halcombsportsndumbsh1t67]

You are supposed to have a more firm bottom hand and use your top for the stick handling

[@jas0nd3an]

Yeah…top hand should be “in the pocket.” Maybe that’s an exaggeration, maybe he’s exaggerating to prove a point. But he should have used that expression. Your top hand should be in the pocket. The best players do this unless they are doing something specific or pushing the puck ahead with a full head of steam. Then it might pop out more.

[@emwhaibee]

Open invitation to the rib cage *wink wink nudge nudge* 😏

Ahh a lot of players especially top players. They hold close to the hip. They learn to have quicker hands and reaction. Arms off the body makes it easier to knock you off the puck. Is this guy American?
