WEIRDEST hockey puck handling practice???

Hockey noob learns to control the uncontrolled puck!

[@HunnerBun06]

I play on concrete and this happens to me all the time 😭

[@the_skating_scientist]

Oh yeah bro! Same here! The puck rolls on its side super easily when I'm on concrete. It's so annoying 😂

[@s3ct0rxf0ur9]

just gotta flatten it like you’re about to scoop it up onto your blade

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ahh ok! I'll give that a try. Thank you for the tip bro!

[@BenjaminBen-r6e]

when you shoot the puck keep it close to your stick until you shoot dont slap at it

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ohh ok. I'll try to avoid slapping at it in the future. Thank you Ben!

[@KaelHarp]

Also, you can just stomp it with your skate

[@the_skating_scientist]

Bro I'm def going to try this 😂😂😂

[@KaelHarp]

I’ve been playing for four years so you’re good😂😂😂

[@KaelHarp]

@@the_skating_scientist by the way when you stomp with your skate, it’s way easier

[@KaelHarp]

Also, with the forehand one it’s harder

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ah ok cool! And yeah the forehand way is tough!

[@Idont_know_22]

Its knuckle puck time was the first thing that came to my mind💀

i suggest you always keep your head up im 14 yrs old and have played ice hockey for 10yrs now so just keep your head up you will get way better shots if you look where your shooting and can have more vision on the field

[@the_skating_scientist]

I think you're absolutely right bro! I'll keep working on it! Thank you buddy!

[@Filip.Lunak31]

Try moving your lower hand on stick. It will help you in stick handling.😊

[@the_skating_scientist]

That's great advice buddy! Thank you 🙏 I'll work on that!

[@lucasekoluoma6730]

No wtf?

[@BlackWarc]

😂

[@the_skating_scientist]

I think he means to loosen the grip on my lower hand so that it can slide up and down the stick 😁 At least that's what I took it to mean 😅

[@BlackWarc]

Bro knew what he was doing 💀

[@JSnipes-nb7uy]

Forehand is the correct way, but it’s NOT a 1 touch.. close your blade and smoother the puck UNTIL it settles down flat, you might need to lower your hands or bend your knees… again it’s NOT a 1 touch movement

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ahhh ok! I'll have to work on that. Thank you for pointing this out bro!

[@CatMelon12]

​@the_skating_scientist I don't play roller hockey only ice hockey so idk if this is the best advice, but sometimes you should try being more forceful with the puck. Being soft on it with more control is certainly a good thing most of the time but in certain scenarios more power/speed in a controlled way can be really good (like look at McDavid, when the puck rolls like crazy for him it very rarely seems to affect him since it automatically settles as he does his thing). I am saying this because if you tried the previous comments advice to cup it with the forehand ans even that fails then you could try a quick backhand stickhandle like to completely reset the pucks momentum and hopefully settle it as it lands on your forehand a 2nd time. Sorry if this is confusing... I'm basically just trying to say that the previous comment gave really good advice but even that can still fail and you can also consider the quick/powerful stickhandles to reset the pucks momentum and be more commanding of it rather than just hoping it does what you want (but this only works in a controlled way, too much speed/power without proper control of it will make the puck fly away from you lol).

[@the_skating_scientist]

@@CatMelon12 I love this! Thank you for breaking it down the way you did. I think being forceful with the puck makes a lot of sense. I'll def give that a try. Thank you so much for commenting bro! I really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

[@tinadreis9900]

I'm trying to get better at hockey handling and hockey in general and there is no teams around anywhere do you have tips

[@the_skating_scientist]

That's a great question Tina! I'm not an expert but I can tell you what I've been trying to do. Most of my training I do in my kitchen, in the street, or in a nearby parking garage. I watch stick handling and skating videos online and then try to do them at home. But my favorite is playing little hockey shooting and passing games with my girls. Do any of your friends or family like hockey too? I think playing with friends and family, even if you don't have a team, is a fun, great way to start getting better at hockey. I hope this helps! Also, as a dad of two girls, I love that you're interested in hockey - it's not just for hairy brutes like myself 😂

[@mtg50182]

No one's gonna talk about bad guy good guy

[@the_skating_scientist]

I've wondered that too 😂😂😂 I label them like that so you can immediately see who is on my team and who isn't. What do you think about it?

[@Air_Macaroon]

@@the_skating_scientist adorable

[@milliamalexanderjohnsendah1028]

No sorry me and someone named Eivind 😢

[@Skullman18]

If that happens you can touch it with your hand and knock the puck over

[@the_skating_scientist]

That's not a bad idea! Someone online suggested screaming at it 😂 I think smacking it with my hand would work better than that lol

[@user-lb2fb8mp8d]

How do you stop with roller blades I can’t figure it out

[@the_skating_scientist]

It's def tricky! There are a few different ways. But if you watch my KZbin video (it's the only full video I have 😅), I explain how I learned it.

[@melissacampbell5044]

What I do is if there are players or goalies is study what there weekends

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ahhh that's a great idea!

[@Motivation-j8j]

On that shot you need to pull it to your backhand or go around the net on the last clip

[@the_skating_scientist]

Ahh ok. It was def an awkward shot from where I was. Thanks for the tip!

you just gotta knuckle puck that jawn

So wait what’s wrong with a rolling puck

[@the_skating_scientist]

Its harder to control and shoot properly when it's rolling. At least for a noob like me 😅😅😅

[@Venin77]

Watch videos on dustin byfuglien's hits and try to imitate them, would be sick to see you try and hit

[@the_skating_scientist]

Oh wow! The 33 train! I'm def down for some physical hockey 😎 But I'd prob be taking more hits than giving them 😂

[@GrahamCannon-f2g]

It’s the secret knuckle puck

[@the_skating_scientist]

😂😂😂

[@Came_jame]

Go behind the net and hit a Michigan

[@the_skating_scientist]

That would def be cool!

[@me-is-not-know]

That always happens to be special when it comes to tournaments. I've learned it's easier to just hit if your close to a wall smack in front of you if there are no players or just throw it to someone else so it's there problem

[@the_skating_scientist]

I hadn't thought about tossing it against the boards. That's a good idea. But I've def passed it to someone else to deal with 😂

[@duich5359]

What is that game called?

Especially since there is this new trend where people make an edit of some art and then put on blinding flashing lights and then they either don’t put a flash warning on or they purposely put it in the captions rather than before the vid starts to annoy people but I’m just concerned for people with epilepsy.
