Hockey Moves: The Step Fake

[@jeffmackin684]

Great vid, will definitely work on it and try to incorporate it into my game

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks! Good luck with it!

Nice Video! Do you have some off ice drills for defensemen to improve their game in the summer? It will be hard to practice 1v1 but some drills on inliners or specific shooting drills for defenders. I feel like practicing stickhandling doesn’t help me in my position. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks! I don't think off-ice training needs to be too position-specific. Defenders should be working on their stickhandling as well. The better your hands, the less you have to look down at the puck, the better you will be at making breakout passes and getting shots through. Work on your shot a lot, and on your backwards skating and transitions on rollerblades

There's still winter in your area of Germany. We here in Ramstein are losing it 😢

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

No sadly not here either. Only for about a month every winter and this winter I only had the rink for 16 days total. But I usually find a day to shoot a bunch of videos and then release them over the course of a couple of months.

@@MarcelsHockeySchool That's a bummer. Here in Missouri, the rink I play at has an outdoor rink that's covered with a roof, but no walls. I think they got maybe 3 months out of it, with the chiller running the entire time. But that's also included periods of about 2 weeks where the windchill was dropping into the negative teens, and the past two weeks where they've had to cancel the outdoor games because it was getting up to 70 and 80 during the day, and the chiller couldn't keep the ice from turning to slush.

@@aaronwhite1786 There actually a lot of rinks in Germany with a roof but missing some walls. Saves the cost of putting in a ventilation system, but yeah, it’s definitely harder to keep the rink going when it gets warm. Global warming is making the ODR season shorter every year sadly 😞

[@aaronwhite1786]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool Yeah, it's definitely not making things easier. Here in Missouri, the weather has always been jokingly talked about as unpredictable. The joke I always heard as a kid was "If you don't like the weather, just wait a few hours". I still remember one year in winter where the eastern side of the state was under a Tornado warning, with thunderstorms and tornadoes being reported, and the western side of the state had a blizzard warning, and was getting hit wit massive snowfall and heavy winds. The state takes all of 4 hours to drive across laterally... Guess it's time to shop around on ebay and find a massive chiller for your home rink, and maybe a bigger solar panel and wind turbine!
