As a teenager that used to play hockey in Sweden i think it is amazing to see that this mindset still exists. I stopped playing at around 13-14 when all of a sudden everything started to be about being a great player in the future. To be realistic the players that get to NHL or even SHL are pure talents. The fun for me died out when everything started to become about winning. I just wanted to have fun and play hockey. I'm not saying matches aren't fun but rather it should be seen as a reward to go play another team after training 3 times a week. If we would keep the fun on and of the ice for longer I am sure more talents would keep on playing and become professionals.
I'm Canadian and I wholeheartedly agree with everything in this video. I wish we had less games and more training. I really dont like that hamburger-volume system of producing players. Skills first.
Eh they just want crowds and sensationalism. I've seen some of the best players aren't even that great they are just racing to the goal or beating each other up because they have no actual hockey skills.
Skating The first love before hockey. The most essential part. Puck skills come when learning the game. Thing is, if you can’t skate, you can’t play. I’m Canadian, I tell my daughter enjoy skating. It’s better than walking. My daughter says, I wish the world was full of ice, so I could skate to school. Skating, balance, footwork and edges.
In belgium it works basically the same the only issues that we have is that we move up in age group too fast due to having not enough players for each category, because it isnt popular enough
In South Africa, the whole of South Africa, we have 9 rinks that I know of. Get your head around that, 9 rinks and 58 million people. Ice time for hockey is 5:15 am - 9:30am / 17:00pm 21:30 pm ( this is not everyday and not at every rink). We just don't have what the rest of world has, but we love the game.
Canada is becoming in Hockey what Brazil is in soccer... Always respected, loads of pure and raw talent, always the greatest, but surprised by the technique and professionalism of other countries...
Yeah while competing with small nations... Go and look at percentage of nationality represented in the NHL compared to number of registered players. Then count for competing sports aswell. In Sweden Football is more popular than hockey so the majority of talent chooses football instead.
The Russians came up with this model in the 50s. Think of how great the foresight was to train this way. Then Europeans started using this model and in the last decade the US went to this model. Now all of sudden the US are producing more and more NHL players. This is absolutely the best approach to ice hockey!
Very true, Canada seems to rest on their laurels and sheer volume of players. We know lots of Canadian kids that come to the US to train now. The NHL has adopted a hybrid system of old and new but the original Tarasov system made the world rethink the game. It has been all good because it is less gooney and more skill which makes it more fun to watch. I think the the Fins are doing great things as well but as you say, they are all derivatives of the original soviet system.
I can pack my ice skates and go to a local outdoor ice rink right now if I wanted to. It's open 24/7 and maintained by the school's janitor. The ice rink is on the school grounds, but when the school is closed, the area is open for the public. Even playgrounds, the basketball court, the beach volleyball court and the football field are open for public access when the school is closed.
@@insertnamehere1792 I don't think they call him that in America either, it's just what I've always called him because I'm horrible at spelling lol, I can't spell half the NHL players names.
@hockeytutorial I would love for you to do a video about hockey training in Canada as well. The Scandinavian countries for sure have excellent skills but I think the coaches you interviewed they do downplay the game aspect from Canada and the US. There seems to be an amazing amount of skill and elite players from here still being produced
[Insert Name Here] I’m not denying Scandinavian countries produce incredible players. I would love to see the North American view as well. The video paints a picture that Canada and the US don’t train skills or offer cross training.
In MN most rinks are public owned rinks. There is plenty of debates going on between coaches on the ADM model, MN Hockey Association and what they want to do and what is right. IMO people focus on winning way to much at the 8U, 10U etc. Why waste ice time putting in a system for a 10U. Work on skating, skating, skating. Some work on positional awareness. Why have a 9 year old work on a 2-2-1 or whatever system just to win a squirt tourney. This will hurt them come high school as they missed a key skill development window. Most bad habits are formed in 10U, 12U and are hard to break. Great skaters will always play. Even if you have an average shot.
I should have coached in Sweden. I 100% love their philosophy. Making it affordable for families. $25 for stick time. $50 if I went with my wife in the United States. That's ridiculous to say the least.
@@No1HockeyDad yea thats crazy man, sorry to hear. I have seen 20 bucks on occasion but usually its like a midday 2 hour slot, so it works out to around 10 an hour too. If you want a little advice for cheaper ice time, check out local university rinks in your area if you have a local university. Usually theyll over ice time to non students for like 5 to 10 bucks. For instance yale opens their rink to non students for hockey 2 hours every Wednesday for 10 bucks. Something to look into if you want cheaper ice time… when its not cold outside. URI stick time is like 7 bucks.
Impressive documentary.!!!!! North America need to learn from you guys . I live in Canada 🇨🇦 & it’s a die hard sport . According to every parent their kid is going to the NHL . You guys have no idea how crazy ppl here are . The GTHL the biggest joke . It’s all about how much you wanna spend . Skates here cost over $800 & counting it’s insane . My son’s 11 & plays AAA hockey . The coaches think that it’s NHL level. It’s sickening. If your child is not a super star ⭐️ then you’re literally screwed . My child started skating @ 2 years old . Joys of competitive sports .
Canada !!! Learn from the Swedes- the Americans did! They got players coming from Florida and arizona now!! I spent a summer practicing and training, no games at all. The progress i made was unbelievable! If canada did this they would be incredible beyond belief.
listen we do not do this model unless you are playing prep hockey in bc or alberta. This is a community thing that I repeat we do not implement. They practice edge work and puck control constantly while we would focus on game situations which is ridiculous. If we followed this model we would creating connor bedard s every year.
Every problem in our times is part of the greater dysfunctional socio-political environment. The same attitude is in the schools, focusing on exams instead of the natural love of learning for its own sake. For my part, as an adult goalie trying to get back in the game with limited time, I am frustrated by only playing games. Goalies especially need practice of fundamental moves that have to be instintively reactive. I have recently decided that I am going to split my time between practice at stick and puck hours (not so easy to find) and games.
You don't really learn anything and you don't really get to practice by playing a lot of games. Best way to learn something and practice it is to repeat it over and over again. It's only when you've learnt something and practiced it enough times at training that you can implement that in your games.
What really annoys me about Canada is the age that development happens. We have tons of camps and training and all that, but it’s pretty much only for kids 12 and below. I didn’t start playing until I was 11 and because I was just starting out I wasn’t that into hockey. It’s only now that I’m in my last few years of minor hockey that I’m really into it and want to get better. The problem is that there are zero camps for kids my age unless you are the highest level player who’s going into junior. For kids under 12 you could put them in camps all year long. If price wasn’t a concern you could make your kid have hockey 365 days a year. This is a major issue because developing players that early doesn’t work as well. By the age of 13 half of the kids have dropped out from fatigue. And then the other problem is that certain kids don’t emerge as skilled until they are older or they don’t start playing until they are older, and then they don’t get a chance to become the great player that they could possibly be. Plus there’s the fact that when kids are really young there are some who will play at a higher level but by the time they are teenagers they are playing in the lowest level. That’s because some kids physically mature earlier so they have an advantage over others their age, but they are not necessarily skilled hockey players and then training gets put into the wrong players. The best way to do it is to keep hockey very relaxed and recreational until kids hit puberty and then we can identify the good players. Plus training when you are a teen versus as a child is a million times more beneficial and there will be more development.
Sucks to be a hockey fan in an area dominated by American football and baseball (The middle of state of Kansas…). The closest team to me is the Colorado Avalanche, and I’m not even a fan of them. I’m a three-way fan of the San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks, and Toronto Maple Leafs, all three of which are very far away from me. I know this video is about Swedish hockey, but Kansas gets almost no exposure to hockey.
I can't fathom how you can support a team not owned by the fans. Americans are so strange that way. It is the fans the history and in most cases a local connection that makes a heart beat for a club. Sucking a capitalistic sports tit sounds groce to me :) Swedish sports leagues will never be the best, but the fans' feelings for the clubs beat private clubs fans daily.
I would put my kids in hockey if it wasn't for the tournaments. I can't afford that many hotel rooms and meals out. If they could play local with a 3-1 practice-game ratio. I could afford it.
I agree with everything, but if the Swedes are so good, why does USA and Canada beat them in the internationals in the modern age... Edit: I do not want hate just an explanation.
Not USA in, the world cup sweden has 11 golds and the recent years is from 2006,2013,2017 and 2018. Also, Canada has a population of 38 million people, USA has 327 million people and sweden has 10 million. It's not strange that the bigger countrys has better players
Because Sweden has like 8 million people or so? And they also play other sports on this level. USA is too big and Canada sucks in everything but hockey.
Tomas Vit Im a swede and I would say that Sweden and Canada probably is better (we are close tho) but the Czech Republic is easily better than US and Finland
i knew czechs back in the day that played for the whl. They honestly said they learned hitting in a week when they came over. Wait till Canada starts a similiar process to the swedes or what the usa is doing in their development aaa teams.
This is so not true i come from sweden and live there and i had to change team because my ice hockey team bullied me for 6 months and then I changed team.
No it is the team because the head coach’s son is the other goalie and every one in the team said I am better but the head coach doesn’t because it is his son so when he bullied me the coach didn’t care but if I say any thing back I would get benched for the matches and cup the coming week
@@moritzjuen-tavell6170 Even if the system itself is good it doesn't mean the people in every club are. Just because there is one rotten apple doesn't mean the tree is fucked.
So learn to be an individual player for a team game before playing the actual game? It’s nice that they believe their development is superior to North American but I think history and stats suggest something different.
Here are some stats for you. Canada has 637 000 active hockey players, Sweden has 62 000. Maybe this explains why Canada has had historical success in hockey.
Tim Eboy, I’d say they compare their development to North American right from the start of the video and more than one person in the video state why they think the development is superior to North America. Maybe watch the video before commenting next time?
Viktor L, having so many players actually makes it harder to grow and achieve success in North America. There are only so many spots to fill. There are thousands of players that would be considered not good enough here that are stars over in Europe. Point is that having more people playing only means more people that don’t make teams and their growth stops or is slowed and that starts from a very young age.
@@bigsteed007 The exact same thing happens in the smaller countries where the teams and icehockey rinks are fewer so it isn't really a relevant point. If having few players would be a recipe for success the top scorers in the NHL would be from countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
Population: USA = 327 million Canada = 37 million Sweden = 9 million Consider how many of these are hockey players. This isn’t to say you’re right or wrong. Just sharing a little insight.
Last season there was 906 players in the NHL if you look at the stats on NHL.com, including ppl going back and forth to AHL etc. Sweden had roughly 80 players, with a playerbase of 90k. Canada got ten times that amount?
@@jimsan1123 Canada has 637 000 active hockey players, Sweden has 62 000. Sweden has 80 players in NHL with 1/10 of the player pool. You are actually underachieving :)

YESSS!!! This needs to change!
If Canada would implement this way of youth training, they’d become too strong 😂. Please Canada, don’t
hockey training in montreal is bullshit
And if we could give training to kids when they are older not when they are five we will get much better players
Eh they just want crowds and sensationalism.

Viktor L, having so many players actually makes it harder to grow and achieve success in North America. There are only so many spots to fill. There are thousands of players that would be considered not good enough here that are stars over in Europe. Point is that having more people playing only means more people that don’t make teams and their growth stops or is slowed and that starts from a very young age.
@@bigsteed007 The exact same thing happens in the smaller countries where the teams and icehockey rinks are fewer so it isn't really a relevant point. If having few players would be a recipe for success the top scorers in the NHL would be from countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
Suomi Finland perkele the best country for Ice hockey

Sweden has a fifa world ranking 17 out of 210 countries and we are only 9 million. We are pretty awesome.

Xod Gamer helvete heller
if this approach was as superior as these people say it is, the US and Canada wouldnt be producing by far the most NHL talent
Aiden consider the population
Population:
USA = 327 million
Canada = 37 million
Sweden = 9 million
Consider how many of these are hockey players. This isn’t to say you’re right or wrong. Just sharing a little insight.
Last season there was 906 players in the NHL if you look at the stats on NHL.com, including ppl going back and forth to AHL etc. Sweden had roughly 80 players, with a playerbase of 90k. Canada got ten times that amount?
Aiden, Canada has more ice rinks then we have licensed players. And still we have all the raw talent!! Skills.
@@jimsan1123 Canada has 637 000 active hockey players, Sweden has 62 000. Sweden has 80 players in NHL with 1/10 of the player pool. You are actually underachieving :)
Yawn
