Same, he wants me to go to his games but I feel like I need to know what he’s doing first 💀

[@jaewok5G]

viewing tip; it's hard to keep track of the puck, so watch the players, they 'll move like a school of fish to follow the motion of the puck. novice mistake; "why are standing in front of the net when their team is trying to score, won't they be in the way?" … yes, the attacking team usually WANTs people in front of the goalie, to block HIS view of the puck and maybe redirect it; while the defenders try to clear the path - straight shots, even fast ones, are easiest for the goalie to stop. when you hear a loud >PING< but see nothing, the puck hit the red goalpost, groan loudly at this "almost" goal.

One thing you missed about icing: A team that is on the penalty kill is allowed to ice the puck without penalty.

[@NinhLyUK]

Ron Flesher There's a lot of rules that I didn't mention in these videos to keep things simple for a complete beginner to understand. I get a lot of that, but the endgame for me is to make sure a complete beginner can understand the concept of the game as quickly as possible. Thanks again! :)

[@healthycereal1944]

Also when a team ices the puck they're not allowed to perform a line change. That's the purpose of the whole thing.

[@pavelhalko5727]

This depends bc in some house league games the rules are different

[@Herozonex200]

@@NinhLyUK yeah I'm trying to get into to hockey

[@tanmay6367]

@@NinhLyUK I didn't completely understand Offside rule, can you explain? I get that the player needs to be behind the puck but I did not understand the penalty after it? Does the game starts off from the red dot near the team's goalie that committed the foul?

[@NateNakao]

Just a quick note of correction: the faceoff after an offside doesn't go back to the attacking team's zone; it occurs in the neutral zone at the dot closest to the place of the infraction.

[@Taeban42]

Unless the officials deem it to be an intentional offside, or an offside pass. On an intentional offside the face off goes all the way back to your defensive zone. On an offside pass it goes to where the pass came from.

[@GREENneonDRIVER]

@@Taeban42 nine dot faceoffs have been adopted by pretty much every league at every level. All faceoffs go to nearest faceoff dot of team that caused stoppage without giving territorial advantage. For offsides this means if the puck is skated offside, it goes to nearest neutral zone faceoff dot to where the puck was skated over the blue line. If it is passed or shot (youth hockey in U.S. doesn't allow a player to dump or shoot puck on goal), faceoff goes to nearest faceoff dot where puck was shot without giving territorial advantage.

NHL fans, please welcome a new fan of yours. I'll be switching the NBA for the NHL for a while. Reason is, that we already know who will win the NBA title. I don't want sports to be predictable, and since your sport is most unpredictable, as far as I know, then I'll be joining aboard. I won't be choosing a favorite team yet, that would be disrespectful. So, I'll wait for the season to start, I'll watch as many games as possible, and maybe from there I'll chose a team to cheer on.

[@NinhLyUK]

Welcome to the wonderful world of NHLism - a place whereby prima-donna players DON'T form super teams to the point where only one of two teams can win the championship every goddamn year. Bask at the glory that is unpredictable hockey, where any team can win on any given night. Choose your team wisely, as hockey teams are both traditional and superstitious and adds to the folklore of the game. I think you'll love it.

[@MikeyJMJ]

I see you comment just in time for the new season. I'm on the same page as you. Hockey is a cool sport and I finally want to understand all the rules and I want to become a regular watcher. I'm yet to choose a team to support but after a while I will.

i’m 15 and, although i’ve been intrigued by the NHL since 5th grade. i never really thought of learning anything about it at first. i went ice skating for the first time in 6th grade and it kind of gave me peace of mind. Just skating around on the ice calmed my mind and it instantly grounded me. i’ve held onto hockey since 8th grade sort of, i’ve watched multiple games, took notes and tried my hardest to understand it, but i can’t really wrap my head around it. i live in oklahoma, so there’s not really any chances for me to go ice skating a lot, and it’s kind of a foreign opinion on hockey. most of the time it’s football this, basketball that. however, hockey has really made itself my happy place, even if i don’t play the sport (yet.)

One addition to icing. At least in North American rules, if a team is called for icing, the face off is in the offending teams end AND the offending team can not make any substitutions during that particular stoppage in play.

I think in the NHL they don't allow teams to change players. But in general, yes you're right.

this is a fine service you provide. as a frosty north american, there is one small detail you didn't accentuate that often confuses the uninitiated - you can change players on the ice even while play is ongoing. they normally change in 3 or 4 groups and stay on the ice for about a minute before changing up for the next [now rested] group.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, but anybody watching it would notice that.

[@NinhLyUK]

[@tysonplett3328]

Hockey referee here, great video, I understand that you withheld a lot of info for simplicity sake, but there were a few things you got wrong: •While the 2 ice sizes you mentioned are most common, many rinks in Europe are starting to downsize to 60m by 28m, with the KHL making that the maximum size for their league in a few years. •Any minor penalty can be called as a double minor or major penalty, at the discretion of the referee. Double minors are 4 minutes and they act like back to back minors. If a goal is scored in the first half, it's bumped down to 2 mins. •If you are offside, the faceoff takes place just outside the attacking zone, or at the next dot back from where the offside pass originated. •Your icing clip was actually a legal play because he crossed the center line before dumping it. •The OT and shootout rules are decided by the league, not the country, so saying "North America has overtime and international doesn't" is false. International tournaments do have overtime, and many North American leagues don't. •While the shootout has 3 rounds in most leagues, some leagues (including international hockey) have 5 round shootouts.

[@burkkis]

And penalty shots are awarded to a player if they are obstructed while on a breakaway.

[@1987apa]

Thank you!!!

[@McDADDyK]

1. A team on a power play is allowed to ice. 2. After an offside is called the face-off is taken in the neutral zone, at the dot closest to where the offside was called. Great video 😊

1:24 Idk if the rules were different during the making if this video but spearing is definitely a major penalty.

[@charlessmith263]

Game misconduct was already mentioned in the movie "Sudden Death". It is any serious infraction worthy of being an ejectable offense, and the hockey player charged with it is expelled from the game. Examples of game misconduct infractions include punching a referee or goalie, throwing a player into the boards to injure that player, or using the stick as a weapon to attack a ref, or doing a very serious slash on a player. In addition, a game misconduct can also mean a league fine against the one doing it, depending on the severity of the misconduct.

[@TheJoshLange]

This video is excellent--direct and clear. One question I still have is how do situations happen where the goalie is missing and empty net goals occur?

[@sweiland75]

When a team is down by a goal and the time is near the end of the third period, that team can add an additional forward to create more offensive chances but they must have only six players on the ice so the team must pull their goalie. Also, a penalty is only called when the offending team gains possession of the puck. Until then, the other team can pull their goalie and substitute them with a forward until the offending team gains possession of the puck.

Hey Ninh, as you did a couple of videos about the Jaguars shifting to London can you do one about the KHL having a team in the UK. It's pretty amazing news if it comes to fruition

[@NinhLyUK]

I think that was dead in the water years ago? There were a lot of reports in 2016 about a new team called the 'London Emperors' joining the league as an expansion team. But the only person who displayed any interest in doing this (Neil Black, owner of the Nottingham Panthers) basically kiboshed the idea because of the hurdles it has to overcome. And there's a lot!

I'm not sure if this is an international rule, but in north America there are also double majors, and if the team on the power play scores twice, then the player serving the double minor is let out of the box

[@NinhLyUK]

I left rules like that out mainly to stop complete beginners getting confused. But yes, a double minor in North America is released when two goals are scored. I don't think the rule exists in International.

Cool channel!

[@duonghoangminh7634]

A quick note would be: Overtime in Ice Hockey are applied in Both NHL and IIHF rules.

[@farisibrahim2661]

Also if a player from the defending team other that the goalkeeper covers the pick with their glove, a penalty shot is awarded for the attacking team

[@NinhLyUK]

Whilst that's true, I'm sure that this is something that a complete beginner doesn't need to know about initially!

[@Fab4Sunrises]

I’m excited to have found the sport for me! love a buncha rough boys

[@bruhology6437]

I'm new to hockey and I wanna learn how its played and maybe play it one day Anyone got any good videos

[@iFlyPlanesSoYouDontHaveTo]

You should also probably note the existence of double minors, which is pretty much just minor penalties with blood and last for 4 minutes

[@iFlyPlanesSoYouDontHaveTo]

and the player serving the penalty can't leave the box until the time is served regardless of if his team gets scored on. and the other team is on a 4 minute power play

[@NinhLyUK]

+bmlguy I could have mentioned that, but I tried to keep the video as simple as I could for complete beginners to grasp the game. There's a lot of other rules I didn't mention for the same reason. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@iFlyPlanesSoYouDontHaveTo]

way ahead of you

[@howardbaxter2514]

Ninh Ly you could have also mentioned how even if a goalie gets a penalty, they don’t come off the ice. Instead, someone else has to serve the penalty for them. This is distinctly different from sports like lacrosse and soccer where if a goalie gets a penalty or a red card (in the case of hockey), they have to come off.

[@Donrudo]

You forgot that in North America one OT period then a shootout only during the regular season. During the playoffs OT periods keep going till there is a clear winner. Also during a shootout after the 3rd set of shooters and it is still tied. The team shooting first scores the team shooting last still have one chance to tie it back up, but if the team shooting last scores then it is over right away.

[@NinhLyUK]

I didn't want to explain the different overtime rules per continent, as they all differ in some way. Remember, this is a beginners video.

[@lemonaidan8240]

Thus helped because I was playing NHL 23 with my friend and I new nun of the rules

There a 9 faceoff dots. If puck or a high touch takes place on the neutral zone closest to the center dot it will take place there.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes.

+Ninh Ly it's you own POV, but in mine, I wish Hockey was in Quaters (4×15 or 12min) or Halves. A coin toss decide who gets what when bah bah. It doesn't make that much of a different depending on the Arena (like if build on a hill), but it's something that should be changed just in case to be more even. I have other ideas but that's the big one.

[@KangaKucha]

and +Ninh Ly looks like this is an ok video. up to you if you update it or not. unlike Rugby League, no offence, I think this still works. RL is good but could be better.

[@NinhLyUK]

Mathew Clemence I respectfully disagree. Ice hockey is known affectionately as 'the game of three halves' and hockey players (and fans) are quite proud of the fact that the '3 x 20 minute period' structure is unique to their sport. Faceoffs are hugely strategic and it takes skill to win them. So using a coin toss for every re-start in play is a crazy idea. I like ice hockey just the way it is ... as well as my video, just the way it is.

[@KangaKucha]

Ninh Ly I meant coin toss to decide who gets what end of the rink in the frist halve or quater, 2nd is the other and so on... It shouldn't matter much but I can't help but think that with odd numbers (like 1, 3, 5 etc. Unless OT) it looks off.

[@Abbovic7]

2:26 there is two different Offsides and the one you take up in this video is the offside where the face off is just outside the blue line and not down in your side!

[@NinhLyUK]

I explained it in the most basic term for a complete beginner to understand. If you know there's several versions of offsides, you really don't need this video.

[@Abbovic7]

Ninh Ly just watched it because I was bored

[@davismolen9503]

I’m from seattle and I’m still tryna get the hang of all this hockey stuff lol

[@ZantherStone]

Question: How does making sure the puck crosses the blue line (in the direction you're trying to score) "keep you from keeping plays in front of the opposing goalie for the entire game"? I must be misunderstanding something

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

What time stamp was this mentioned at in the video?

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Nevermind, I found where he said that. Basically what he is saying is if a team is called off sides, then the resulting face off will be dropped outside of the opposing teams zone. It depends on the league rules but NHL for example, the faceoff will not be placed all the way back in your zone from an offsides call. It will be placed at the dots just before the blue line facing your opponents zone. So basically, if you commit a foul (offsides), the face off will be placed outside your opponents zone therefore you still have to re enter the zone legally. Does that make sense?

[@pochinnie17]

I like how you used the Tekken 3 background music in this video.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, most of my videos have computer game music in the background!

[@pelmeniz]

International games go to overtime, followed by shootout if needed as well.
