How to Analyze a Hockey Player's Skills when Coaching
I played Jr’s when the EJ was still (2004) around. This is awesome that you do the breakdowns like this. Tryouts and camps were fun & hell at the same time haha.
They dont make phaneuf curve anymore...
do you have more information or insight on the MN kids that play a split season? I know of two local kids to me that played before and after their junior year of HS but returned to play the HS season and I believe they are planning on doing it again this season. I'm curious as to how they go about getting on these teams and how these types of split season agreements work? Can you just enter the draft with out attending these camps? and is that through a recruiting process? I was reading a different thread where the author was surprised at the limited number of MN born players in attendance at both NAHL and USHL camp that his son was attending but it is my understanding that quite a few MN born players make up these leagues.
Sticks manufactured for retail during the NHL's curve limit rule had much straighter blades, thicker heel, different balance. There were far more brand options and patterns and one could modify . Players curved the stick themselves . I just bought a dusty pile of old wooden sticks including pro stock. Titan , Koho, Canadien, Sherwood, Norrthland , Victoriaville, Christian to name but a few. All distinguished by different materials and performance characterisics. There were so many to try.
Hey, great video! Just wondering if you had any suggestions for my current situation. I am 15 and live in a city with 1 travel team and NO high school hockey. I want to play junior hockey, but I am coming up on only my first OFFICIAL year of playing ice hockey, though I train off the ice all the time and am a decent skater. Anyone have any tips?
Great video Jacob, curious if you could touch on why Celebrini ended up playing for the Chicago Steel instead of playing in the WHL? I'd imagine part of it was because he was going to go to BU, but with such a talent, I'm surprised he wouldn't go straight from Major Junior to the bigs. Perhaps his parents really wanted him to get an education?
From toe up to ankle I used to tie laces looser then gradually tighter also stopping an eyelet or two before top then wrap laces around ankle to tie off.
I’m glad somebody knows how to lace skates,outside in and lace doesn’t come loose
The P-88 isn't flat at all, it's just a mid curve. Also, face angle has more to do with lifting the puck than the curve.
Use what you feel comfortable with don’t listen to him
52 year old adult player, 6’2” and North of 250lbs. Still skate about 3 times per week. As a kid learned old school wrist and slap shot using a wood stick with little flex and a gentle even thru the blade curve comparable to todays P88. Since composite sticks came in I’ve gone from stiff (110/120 flex) down to a 95 flex currently as just as you mentioned, the game has changed, the puck is only on your blade for a limited time and there is few opportunities for a big wind up slapper or an old school full draw wrister. Most of the time you are making quick passes or quick snap shots where you need to load the stick quickly using your body weight. The flex and kick points in todays stick enable this. As far as curves I find it doesn’t honestly matter, when u stick with any curve and practice a lot with it you learn to shoot and pass accurately with it. It’s when u change your curve that your shots and passes become less accurate. In time with the new curve your brain learns or adapts and the consistency in your passes and shooting returns. I’ve had to change my curves a few times over the decades because manufacturers make them hard to find. I’ve gone from the old “Lindros” 88 curve to the “Spezza” flat curve to the Lidstrom heel curve with square toe to the P91A Staal flat curve to what I use now which is the Marner TC2 curve which is an even curve from heel to toe that opens up a little towards the toe. The key to accurate shooting and passing is staying consistent with your curves, not changing it a bunch, and of course practicing. Repetition is key. My son who is 18 now and playing Junior A shot a minimum of 100 pucks per day from 6 years old to 17 until we tore down his shooting alley downstairs in order to finish our basement. The difference between Junior A and B players is mostly this consistency. Junior A players shoot with accuracy for corners and holes between top of leg pad and below blocker/trapper. Junior B/C guys are just trying to get it on the net and half the time just hit the goalie in his chest/crest. Junior A are able to make a 25 foot pass on the tape to a moving teammate 9 out of 10 times, Junior B/C guys are missing half the time putting it in their feet or 2 to 3 feet in front of their stick putting them in awkward positions which isn’t good. Practice and maintaining consistency with your sticks (curve and flex) is the key to better hockey. 😊
Good video! Do you use grip or no grip?
I use grip now because it’s hard to find a no grip stick but growing up I used non grip. Once I got used to grip it’s hard to go back to grip!
I use two laces per skate, and they are normal tennis shoe laces, not thick heavy skate laces. One long lace for part that crosses the foot, and a shorter one for the remaining eyelets going up the ankle. That leaves NO laces on the area that flexes with the ankle. The result? Laces never loosen up and also never break. At least I haven't broken one in the 20 years I have been lacing this way. Also tennis shoes laces save a lot of weight over hockey laces.
That’s crazy he said he was a shooter

Coffey curve was the best imo

My sons watched SO many hockey games growing up! A great deal of their learning came from it. At the time, they understood more than most players their ages and saw the game from a birds- eye view. They were both more advanced in the actual plays of the game and also saw the games very realistically.
I am almost automatic with the p88 topshelf glove side
That's what I like to hear!
So...are you juat covering retail curves that are majority the variation between 3 curves? Your chart shows plenty more than that, and you kind just left us out to dry on the rest of them. I play inline and ice, have two separate sticks for both. One with a W88 curve (because I use warrior brand) And a CH09 (custom canadian stick) Neither of which I can find much elaboration on. The vid was good and a good explanation for people who haven't immersed in the hockey world yet, I was just hoping for a full chart explanation and examples
Waxed laces and tighten/tie your skates while standing up rather than sitting. Nice tight fit, with no numbness. I leave the top eyelet empty as well ... more ankle mobility *and* it eliminates lace bite on that tendon in the front of your ankle.
Very interesting! Makes sense about standing up while tying them to make sure your foot is exactly I the position it will be when skating. Thanks for the feedback!
I stand up as well. Always made sense to me.
Hey, this is Reed and Rowan from your 2023 EPH hockey camp. You are 1 of the best coaches we’ve ever had. We both love your hockey camp. We both felt like we got a lot better. Thank you for everything you have helped us with. We really love you and your coaching. Thank you.
Reed and Rowan, thank you so much for the comment! You guys have been awesome every year we’ve been there. You guys put a ton of effort into everything you do and it is paying off big time! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys. Best of luck next season!
whats the junior B and C leagues for british columbia
This is a great video, thank you. I’ve been trying to learn more about subject. I wonder if you can share other resources that I can peruse. Thx again.
Having a hard time to find blades with the TS23 shape from the Jofa Titan 4020. Loved it and it seems nearly impossible to find, unless you buy the stick itself. Most blade are getting close to it; but not quite the same shape ... Any recommendation?
That stick is a little before my time. Not sure exactly what the blade was but guessing it was pretty flat with not much flare?
@@outsidetheboards No it's pretty curved, but without being open at all. I once flexed a Titan 4020 at a street hockey game and someone even asked if it was legal lol
I agree that flex of the stick is very important. And yes ... we need to move away from advising players to tie their flex to their weight. Body weight has nothing to do with what flex you should be using. It comes down to technique, and strength (as well as height - leverage). A 200 lb beer leaguer with no upper body strength will not be able to effectively use a 100 flex stick. However, a 160 lbs player that can bench 200 lbs easily could. As a larger player, I started with 100 and 110 flex sticks. As I have gotten older (and a few shoulder injuries later), I have moved down to 87, 85, 77, and now play with a 70 flex stick. Looking back, those 100 flex sticks were wrong for me. Back then I'd have had much more success with something in the 80-85 range. The sweet spot is to find the flex that allows you to effectively pass/receive the puck, and stick handle, but also allows you to flex the stick to load your shots. That isn't found by taking your body weight and dividing it in half.
I miss the P38. I wish it was still available.
Awesome and informative video! Unfortunately my son got started late as a skater. He played goalie for all of his youth and only within the last 2 years started skating out as a defenseman. Even with ZERO coaching, he's become quite good in that short amount of time and actually went to an NCDC tryout last week. He didn't stand out as a super star, but he didn't stand out as bad either. He definitely held his own and looked just fine. But in tryouts, not standing out as exceptional just doesn't cut it. I would love to see what he could do with some actual coaching behind him. The problem is he is a 2003 birth year. This only leaves him with one season to play juniors, but I know with some coaching he could be REALLY good! His hockey IQ is through the roof! Poor kid has such drive and dedication to the game. I wish he would have started skating out when he was much younger, but I couldn't talk him out of goalie.
Loved this breakdown - thank you!
Excellent job/example of showing what a bad rep looks like, well done.
O was about to say it. There is no push from lower hand into the stick. 0 usage of the flex of the stick also too much windup. you can see in the slowmo there was not much weight thrown into the stick.
I love live games so I basically follow the Junior A. I live near two MHL (Maritime Hockey League, Junior A). I am lucky some years the Pictou County Weeks Crushers and the Truro Bearcars play opposite weeks so I can go see high caliber good hockey on a regular basis. I think you missed the Maritimes. It’s a busy market but in comparison it is small. Between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI. I was luck to catch some of the World Tournament a few years back. It was awesome. Team USA were so good. There were over 120 scouts there that week the scouts took up a whole banquet room and a fitness studio. Shout out to #31 Justin Bourque of the Valley Wildcats. He had some unbelievable games in the first round of the playoffs. (2022-23 Season) Let’s go Bearcats!
Very cool, thanks for sharing! I definitely missed the MHL. Just at a quick glance it looks like a good chunk of those players play college hockey in Canada. Is that correct?
This year there are a few going to division 1 NCAA. Maverick Goyer just won a national title with Hobart College in the USA. Check out the Yarmouth Mariners. For a small town they have one heck of a program. They are currently in the top 10 of the nation. Sidney Crosby had a administrative stint there. I don’t believe he ever played a game in the league. Zach Sills was also listed as a Truro Bearcat. I know a few of the MHL players headed to play pro in Europe. I am pretty sure the MHL changed its name to avoid confusion with the Manitoba Junior A Hockey League.
Lol. Midget thru college I used a 120 flex that I had to special order.
I did not expect you to shoot that well holy hell!!!!
Thank you!!
Hi, nice vidéo. I am 50 years old I play inline hockey in france . I am a former elite rink hockey player. I started inline hockey a year and a half ago I played a year with a nexus geo 55 flex my weigh 65 kg for 1.67 meter. Everyone told me to switch to 65 flex, which I did, but I have to make a lot of effort to get the same shots as with 55 flex. should I go back to 55?? thanks in advance
Great question! At the end of the day, you need to choose what you feel the most comfortable with. To get the most out of your shot you need to put all of your effort into every shot you take (Bedard is a great example). If you were to put all of your weight into the stick then a little heavier flex is helpful. However, maybe you don't want to put all of that effort into shooting anymore which is totally normal as an adult. If you aren't going to stay as low and drive through shots as you once did then you will definitely want to go back to a lighter flex and you won't have to put as much effort into shooting. Hope this helps!
when i got my p88 stick i realized that curve doesn’t effect lifting the puck but i still stick with the p88 everytime i get a new twig
I’m 5”9 and 145lbs and currently using 65 flex but it feels like it’s a bit too soft sometime with hard passes or wrist shots can go too high sometimes because it feels little soft, could I go to about 75 in flex?
Do you usually cut your sticks? This is a big factor in choosing the right flex. I would probably recommend making a smaller jump first. Maybe try a 70 flex instead 75.
I think you're right on whippy sticks. I was always a goalie, but skating out, I started with way too heavy flex sticks because I'm strong, but the technique wasn't there (I'm also only 5'8 so right between intermediate & sr length) so I went from 105 to 85 to 77 to 65, then when I learned how to shoot I'm back up to like an 85 with about an inch cut off. It's the same shot, just a lot harder.
Nice one! Quick hands my dude!
Old style snapshot
Do you recommend no windup snapshots? I've been doing more of those recently to work on hands and weight distribution. I found it's really made a difference.
Absolutely! The less wind up the quicker the release!
First time I use p 28 I was hitting the post (good thing) on the odr never was I this good
What about the ehl?
The EHL is a tier 3 league in the U.S. It is a very solid league, the majority of the players that move on from that league go to NCAA D3 schools. That is actually where I played my first year of Juniors!
if I'm correct on what a bad rep is, then it's that you were doing wrist shots instead of snapshots.
Shout out to Portland Winterhawks! Thanks for this overview.
Thanks for breaking all this down, been wanting to do a save in Franchise Hockey Manager 9 in the juniors but had no idea what was going on for the most part, this really cleared that up!
I'm a high school player and i weigh about 120 and i have about a 60 flex p92 (55 flex cut down.)I feel like every time I go for a bar down shot, that the puck just flies over the net. That being said I don't really know if I should try out a p88 or get another p92 and just learn to control my shot more. I'm at a predicament because most guys typically have a backup stick, and I just have my one p92. I want to try out the p88, but I don't want to drop 300 dollars on a new stick with a curve I might not even like. What do you think?
Hi Jay, I get your dilemma. I think you should try to see if a teammate has a P88 that you can try a few shots with. It is a very popular curve and I am sure someone on your team has it, ask them if they will let you try it out! Stick prices are ridiculous now a days. I would say there is really no point to ever spend that much on a stick. You do not need a top of the line stick to have a good shot.
P88 is the best curve
You're right about stick prices. I started in the mid 1990's, and you could get a shaft you liked and then spend not much money to try out different blades. Even one piece sticks were reasonable in price, 40 bucks could get you a pro quality Sherwood stick, which would be the equivalent of about 80 dollars today. @@outsidetheboards
Gonna try that thanks
What has the curve to do with being a scorer ? Bunch of superstars have played with real small heel curve … Most of the kids that i see have sticks that are way too stiff… again all depends the game you have , the way you stick play. Stiff flex is not necessarily the way to go
i don't use the top hole's either....i only know one other person that doesn't use the top hole's when lacing their skates....that was the guy i got the idea from...he told me the same thing you said...but it had taken me a while to get use to it though..........but know i'm very comfortable with it.....
I do mine like that too
I used to go over and under the eye lets. Which held them in place tightly
