I love seeing people get exposed to hockey for the first time. The game has everything, speed, finesse, physicality, fighting, skill, teamwork, everything. React to NHL Dangles (jukes) or NHL Snipes, you'll be amazed at the skill these guys have!

[@yojustmatt]

Bet, I’ll add that to the list💯

Big hockey fan here. It is fun seeing this through your eyes. Keep an eye on this sport it is amazing. If you want to be more amazed to go to an NHL game. Hits you differently. Literally.

[@rebekkafrizzell1666]

In general, you can't hit someone in the head (shoulder hits are fair game, though), you can't hit someone who doesn't have the puck, and you can't hit the goalie. I think you'd like to see "playing through the pain" -- hockey players are absolutely insane about staying on the ice after injuries.

[@kyleleblond7276]

You also have to glide into hits, you can’t be full stride mid hit too

[@lucaslindstrom993]

I broke my neck at 15 playing hockey and I eventually got up by myself and sat on the bench for the last 10 minutes of the game but i just stared to the other side cause I couldn’t move my head. Got in to the locker room and took of my equipment, took a shower then went to the hospital to find out i had two fractures in the neck

[@dealy9268]

I played this sport at the pro level. Being a shorter player (Listed at 5'8" but that was with my skates on) I relyed on my speed. Through my career I sufford two knee injuries, a seporated right shoulder, a broken nose more then once, broken hand from fighting, and lots of cuts. I love this game!!!! The average NHL hit is 17% harder the the hardest NFL hits. I played center so you have to be good at both offense and defence to be affective at that possition. Most centers are bigger then I was. Well most players were. But I was solid. Being shorter the hip check was my go to. That's when you flip the guy over you in some cases. I love watching people react to this sport for the first time.

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

I never played pro, but, like you I learned one thing, when you're small, the hip check is your best friend!

[@spike6487]

I didn't play professionally, but played a lot when I was younger. The most brutal way that I found to play is at a local outside rink in a pickup game with no referees. People trying to take your head off. Lots of hard hits and fights. Injuries, bruises, and scars are expected. Never seemed to stop anyone though. lol

Average hits in a hockey game: 45-60 total between both teams Average hits in a PLAYOFF hockey game: 100+ between both teams. On average there's about 1-3 hits total in a game that are considered "bone-rattling" or huge

[@TheJerseyNinja]

The average hits in a playoff game is nowhere near 100+. It’s an average of about 45 in regular season and 67 in playoffs

[@Laksoiden]

​ @The Jersey Ninja says otherwise. Where is the data from?

[@TheJerseyNinja]

@@Laksoiden what says otherwise?

[@carlsoto1747]

@@TheJerseyNinja it depends on what definition of hit you go by and who’s tracking them, it depends on what teams are playing and how they play, and it depends on how much those two teams hate each other. Seeing 75 hits a game is rare in the regular season, but is not entirely uncommon to see teams put up 50 or more hits each in a close playoff series, especially if OT gets involved.

[@TheJerseyNinja]

@@carlsoto1747 it doesn’t though. It’s an NHL tracked stat. So that’s what you go by. And an average doesn’t spend on who’s playing who or if they hate each other or not. It’s an average. Of course it’s gonna be above or below it all the time. But in terms of averages, that’s what it is. But yes, you can certainly see 100+ hits in a playoff game, it’s just not the average

[@lazyassedleader4946]

I had a buddy in high school who never watched a hockey game so he came to one of my games for our school and afterwards he was like “bruh you should not be doing that! You a small dude but you level dudes twice your size!” Told me he had a whole new respect for me after that

I think the craziest part is that there are like 10+ hits in here delivered by arguably the greatest goal scorer to ever play. Not some borderline roster tough guy, a skill guy who is a brute.

[@YouShookItThreeTimes]

Ovi?

[@that1hockeykid298]

Hockey is such an amazing sport I love it with all my heart. It’s takes so many different skills including shooting, defensive play, puck handling and of course the physicality. Nhl players skate 35kmh and hit each other and u have to know how to try to absorb the hit. I love watching people react to hockey that don’t normally watch hockey watch it and react and I can 100% respect those that don’t like the game too but it’s always worth a watch

[@plots4]

This is a good video because probably 60% of those hits were totally clean. A handful were penalties (mostly minor) and the rest were on the borderline. No real injuries though. Some of those are BRUTAL. I love watching the new fans fall in love with the game. Subscribed.

[@mikejanssen6344]

You had me in fits laughing. I’m only 5’6” and hitting and being hit was my favourite part of the game. An adrenaline junkies party.

[@donmooney21]

Heres a hint. The boards do not move, when your hit into them. Its like being hit twice.

[@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883]

boards absorb force and can be used to brace against a hit. open hits are usually much worse.

[@stephengartland2773]

I'm a white guy who introduced a brother buddy from work to hockey almost 20 years ago. He had no idea how the game worked and we watched some games together and I explained it. He taught me basketball. Hadn't seen him for almost 10 years and I ran into him. He loves it! He stuck with it because he loved the loyalty of the guys on a team and respected the skill and the skating. When things go south between some players, it's a war and he still loves it! Did the same thing with a guy i worked with from Australia. He bought season tickets. That's hockey. Great video bud. Rock on!

Might be too late but react to Niklas Krownwall aka “Krownwalled” he was a beast for Detroit and threw some of the biggest hits, he was in this video a few times, dude was an artist at it

[@oliverjackson5070]

You have to remember they are conditioned to take hits from a young age. When I was learning Ice Hockey at age 8 they teach you to get up right away no matter what so, imagine how that can ripple all the way up to the NHL. Take a huge hit, fall, brain goes "oh no I've fallen gotta get up right away", jump up, skate away........ xD

[@chasityvictoriabaker7566]

There are only six players on the ice from each team five skaters and a goalie each at a time and they have players on offensive and defensive lines alternating every 30 seconds to multiple minutes at a time skating full tilt. Anyway one time this NHL player was playing and went on the bench for a line change and died on the bench then was resuscitated and asked to be put back into the game minute after being brought back to life...people who love hockey especially NHL players. Just love the game that much so we love seeing new people just watch. It's very refreshing and entertaining in its own new way the fact that it's not your cup of tea and still take the time for these videos I really appreciate it thank you.

hey man love this video, I played hockey in the Beijing international invitational tournament for a Canadian team in 2016. I just wanted to share some insight on the game. The reason players body-check the other team is took take the player out of the play*taking them to the ice*/ if you get hit your immediate response is to get back into your position in the play unfolding. I should also mention if you get "hurt" and are lying on the ice, the refs will blow a whistle as soon as your teammate touches the puck, stopping the play and a possible goal for your team. I'm definitely going to be subscribing :)

[@yojustmatt]

Ahh I see, that makes a lot more sense. I appreciate the breakdown fr and thank you for joining the family 💯

[@SEEININFRARED]

You know what they say, my young brother. You go to a hockey fight, and a game breaks out. lol!!

[@jycke7073]

There are a bunch of different penalties you can get, Elbowing: Hit with elbow. Charging: Taking momentum and ramming someone in the boards. Back checking: Tackle someone with your stick first in the back. Tripping: It is what it sounds like. Hooking: Your stick gets stuck in the other players leg, arm, skates etc etc. Clipping: Delivering a check belowbthe knees. Delay of game: Holding the puck, shooting the puck out of bounds etc etc, anything that stalls the game basically. Fighting: Starting a fight in NHL is allowed until anyone falls down to the ice or if someone else is interfering with the fight. Interferance: Impeding an opponent who does not have the puck. Roughing: Pushing or shoving after the whistle has been blown or when it takes place away from the play That’s just a few of the penalties you can get. Just pointing some out beacuse it seems that you were confused about the penalty syste in NHL :)

[@H1nezy4]

Hockey players are 25% smaller than nfl players but the hits are 20% HARDER

[@G3NK5T42]

We hockey players are built different! 💪🏻 My favorite is when Futbol (Soccer) players/fans watch Hockey Biggest Hits. Some people don't understand the amount of speed that can be generated into a clean hit and if you play with your head down or are afraid of getting hit, that's when Injuries happen. Otherwise, it ain't too bad. The worst are boarding hits into boards/glass that doesn't give. Man how I hated that when I played in my younger days.

[@chudmuffin0]

[@gavinfloor9581]

The best thing is watching goalies hitting players and goalie fight bro those are the best

[@CalSkywalker]

As a hockey player that has played since I was 5 and is now 20 years old. I can answer the question as to why we get back up so quickly. We are trained to not stay on the ice as that is seen as weak and no kid that plays hockey wants to be the reason that the whistle is blown when it didn’t need to be. Insert soccer player 😂. Coaches tell us you hit the ice and you get right back up. I can’t even tell you how many times I got my clock cleaned and I just got right back up and kept playing. Now of course, if you are actually hurt you won’t get up because you can’t, and this does happen but it just means that the hit was extra hard or maybe even illegal depending on how the player was hit. I also think that adrenaline definitely has something to do with it but us hockey players are a different breed for sure.

[@baldbearded9601]

When people think that football is the toughest sport it makes me laugh.. hehe. People go twice as fast on skates, they don't have full face masks, no oversized shoulder pads, and they don't land on grass. Ice is harder than wood. Contact hockey hurts! And don't think they don't feel it.. they just suck it up and shake it off. Now imagine seeing the most skilful amazing plays, now that you understand the risks and pace of the game. It's not just a rough game, the agility and vision of those men is really something! And then there's rugby...

Great video. Nice to see you expose yourself to the great sport of hockey. To answer one of your questions, this season the average number of goals per game was a little over 3. Assists are a little harder to calculate because there could be zero to two assists per goal so I'm guessing that it might be between 4 and 5. Average hits per game this year was right around 26 per game. Not all hits are this hard though.

i'm 40 now, but we learned to hit at 12. this is all we wanted to do was freight train people. Then, when you get into junior leagues(16-21), with, just about, men doing this, you realize the impact. especially when guys are weighing 200lbs+, skating at 30 km\h. Then you get into men's hockey. watch all time biggest hits. when guys wore barely any pads or in some cases, no helmets

[@EdmontonRealEstate01]

If you haven’t already, you should consider reacting to “The Code”. It explained why there was a lot of fighting in the NHL and hockey in general. If you ever get a chance to watch a game, consider watching the Edmonton Oilers. They almost one the Stanley Cup this years, but they lost in the last game of the series. To many, the greatest NHL player ever (Wayne Gretzky) started his career with the Edmonton Oilers. During his career with Edmonton Oilers, they won four Stanley Cups, they one their last cup a year after Wayne Gretzky Was traded to LA. He has broken so many records that when they did a side by side comparison with other great team athletes he beat out everyone including Michael Jordan. His monicker is “The Great One” and yet one of the most humble people you’ll ever meet.

Hockey player here. Often times hitting the ice after the hit is the worst part. You have to make sure your head doesn’t whip back and collide with the ice. Also the speed you are travelling can make a seemingly simple body check feel like you skated into a brick wall. Hockey can reach up to 25-30 km/h on the ice if I am not mistaken…so it is like a small car crash haha.
