Yessss! This was excellent!!
I just wish my parents understand this
I think Mike said it best the coaches will push the kid. It the child loves the game with the help if good coaching they will do just fine whether they are destined to be a pro or just love playing the game. God bless the parents for waking up so early and taking their little players for that early ice time. That grand parent rubs me the wrong way. Him and me, wanting to take credit. I think coaching had a lot to do with it.
Thanks for this video. My wife is a hockey coach and I see every time I'm out there how hockey parents are ruining the sport. When the kinds are under 15 they are out there to play for now and have fun. Not to train for NHL. Hockey is for the kids, NOT the parents. Let them have fun!
Yeah
Fleet Foot if your whatching this post a hockey video
I wish my dad understood this 😔
Show him the video.
Same
Q
CantYandleTheHeat I struggle with the same thing buddy your not alone
Do you guys regret your parents pushing you?
My dad is skeptical but is trying his best to support me. My cousins on the other hand are super excited about me playing hockey. My mom doesn’t care. She just thinks it’s a waste of money.
I am from Latvia i have two brothers from a small city in Latvia and i go to trainning 120 km every day and I wish that my dad understanded this
Your so committed 👍
I just had a son 3 months ago and I never played hockey growing up, but I have been obsessed with Hockey ever since I got out of highschool. Do any hockey parents have any recommendations for introducing your child to a sport you didn’t grow up knowing?
Can't speak for others but I LOVED playing hockey as a kid even though I never played in any organized capacity. No one ever told me to spend every second of daylight playing everyday but I did anyway, and the only instruction I ever had were VHS tapes of Gordon Bombay.
Fast forward to now where I signed up my 4 year old for ice lessons at the local rink. She's more into princesses and unicorns though so I would seriously temper your expectations or you might go crazy. I definitely feel like I'm putting the weight of my passion for hockey on her tiny little shoulders which absolutely kills me.
I hope she'll eventually love hockey like I do, but that seems like a million miles away at this point. Right now, I'm just racking my brain trying to figure out how can I get her to overcome her fear of falling, even with all her gear, which seems like a huge hurdle for her in getting any enjoyment so far.
It's only been a handful of lessons but I guess we'll see how it goes...
@@davetechme thanks for the insight man! Yes, I don’t want to be over pushy, but I want my son to hopefully take an interest in it. It’s such a great sport, I love it inside and out. I really wish I was taught how to play growing up, but I was really into baseball for such a long time but now honestly I can’t stand the sight of baseball. To many bad memories and I was chewed up and spit out after I left the sport. I just want my son to enjoy whatever it is, but the selfish part of me wants him to be a hockey player. One can dream
I played minor hockey here in Canada growing up. I wasn’t a great player by any means but I loved the game. My parents weren’t involved at all. They paid for me to play and my equipment but never came to games. When I grew up I played pickup hockey for years because it was fun & exercise. I started coaching with a friend before I had kids… and loved it. I know the game and always studied NHL players and how they played… which made my game better. My daughter started playing at 5yrs old. It was a Daughter/Daddy thing. She told me later that she only did it because it was something her and I did together. I never knew that at the time. My Son who is five years younger was on skates at 2 1/2 because his sister already played and he literally grew up in the Arena since by that time I was a Single Full time Dad. So he went to the rink whenever his sister and I had to go. Other parents (thankfully) watched him while we were in the ice. He started playing when he was four years old. HE DID THREE FULL YEARS OF TIMBITS HOCKEY (a learn to skate and learn the game program here in Canada). Some kids moved up after two years because the novice age group needed players but I kept my son in TimBits hockey and that was a great decision. He grew as a player so much that year. His confidence skyrocketed as he was one of the Best players on the ice and he began to believe in himself. My Daughter continued playing with boys even when most girls left as soon as Body Contact came into play at the Peewee level. After a year of contact at all Peewee and above levels it was taken out of the Peewee age group and house league levels of hockey. So only Bantam Rep and above had contact. She continued with the boys, which I feel made he a better player all around. She was a solid stay at home Defenceman. At 13 she was asked to play on a local senior woman’s team that was 18yrs +. She loved that along with her regular Minor hockey team. That’s when she told me she actually Lived playing Hockey. It was more than a Daughter/Dad thing. She made a Boys Rep team her second year of Peewee. I was given the team to coach after that team was put together, so she made that team all on her own. We went on to the Provincial & League Finals. She continued to Play through Midget U18 with the boys. She is still playing ladies Beer League hockey now with a lot of the Ladies she played with on that Senior woman’s team.. she is now 20 yrs old, in her third year of University. My son Played Rep his entire hockey life and still is at 15 yrs old. The year after his sister went to both league and Provincial Finals he did the same. As a Novice Rep player he won an OMHA Championship. Having a great season with 34 goals & 32 Assists! He has Alain done Power skating lessons many times & both kids played 3-3 summer hockey for many years.
One thing I have to stress is that I never ever pushed my kids to do any of this. My daughter only wanted to do the summer 3-3 and nothing else hockey related. She played Soccer and Softball also over the years as well as Rugby all through Highschool which took her to Ireland & Spain. My son played Soccer for a season, Baseball for 2 years, Football for a couple but always did some form of Hockey activity. The other Sport he played a lot of was Lacrosse.. he loved (and still does) Love Lacrosse as much as hockey. The two sports are so similar and help with hand eye coordination and endurance. I’ve Net pushed them to play any sport. I would always make my Decision to coach based on what they were doing. Now I’ve coached for over 20+ yrs and most of that was both my kids. I’ve coached a variety of sports too. I loved every single season I coached.
I’d recommend to introduce your kids to sports, as many as possible and let them decide what they want to continue with. If hockey is one you really hope they will take to really focus on their skating to start. If a Kid can skate well the rest of the game will come to them easy enough. Skating is the most important part of the game. Good skaters never seem to quit playing hockey in my experience. They are usually the better players on teams as well, just look at guys like Crosby & McDavid! When skating is a complete muscle memory thing they can just do and think or worry about the rest of the skills come along easier! I’ve seen kids that are terrible skaters but can stick handle in a phone booth that are only One dimensional players who coaches will park infront of the net and get the skilled kids to get the puck to them to score… heck I’ve done that. When those kids learn to skate better they become more of a threat. Teams can defend the kid that has good hands but can’t skate very well.. Easy enough to get them off balance and away from the Net which makes their good hands useless. So skating is the number one thing to focus on at the start, Good fitting comfortable skates is important too for obvious reasons. Stick handling is something that can be worked in together by playing in the driveway with balls or pucks and a net.. create competition with them about picking corners etc… any way you choose to do it just Never ever force them. If they are only doing it because You want them to then they are doing it for the wrong reasons. Make it fun and they will love it. They will cry at first because they can’t stand on skates and they will have temper tantrums maybe… but make it fun.. I can’t steer enough how important skating is and it’s vital to success in hockey at whatever level they play. And if your child doesn’t want to play Rep that’s ok, just be happy they are playing. House league games can also be exciting and so much fun for kids. My son is very competitive and actually need that Rep level in all sports he plays. He would not be happy at a House league level, that’s just him. Where my daughter was very proud when she played at the Rep level, especially since she played on boys teams… but she was just as happy playing years of house league also. Enjoy your kids and their choices.. my years of kids sports are coming to an end… and I dread that last game he plays in Minor/Organized Hockey. You can be sure If he goes into play a level of Junior or Senior or Even Beer league hockey I’ll be there Cheering and supporting him 100%, just like I do with my daughter. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@Shawn-px3yz wow that was very insightful and through. Thank you so much for the input! My son is a year now, the only sport I watch is hockey. We take him to local ECHL games (South Carolina stingrays) and he loves being at the games and watching and interacting with people. When I watch on tv he will watch some of it here and there and point. It’s really cool to just see him pay attention to it at times! But what sucks about here is that hockey exposure is very low. We have a single rink that occasionally I will go and watch a pick up game or a beer league game at. I want to learn how to play myself, I am currently trying to get in shape so I can do so before enrolling in training classes. I can ice skate but my technique is very flawed So I will work on that too. Either way, I love this sport and all I can do is hope he picks it up. Thanks for writing so much in depth, really helps me understand what to do better. I’ve got a daughter on the way as well, I can only hope she learns as she grows!
I was you. I grow up in the pacific islands, I knew nothing about hockey. Now live in Washington state, USA. Kid saw Mighty Ducks and said “I want to do that.” He didn’t know how to skate. Good thing local rink has learn-to-skate program, then learn-to-play, and then hockey league.
I want to play but I'm 15 and I've never played but I can skate very well but i don't know if any team would teach me stick handling and shooting and passing
For sure you should play- Totally look into it
Most teams practice those skills all the time. Skating is the most important thing especially if your an older New Player.
I played against this team last year! With the Dutch national team. We beat the 12-0 in 2 10 minute periods. We were playing with a ball off ice and it guy that blonde mum! She went and filed a complaint against us
You couldn't of because he played X ice probably got the wrong team
I played conventery yesterday
Joseph Duffy you spelt Coventry wrong and you lost
Yes josh
John Walsh Yea I do I used to help coach on his training sesh
Nice
I want to get into hockey I'm extremely good at skating but I'm too poor for a proper kit. The skates I have are ccm ft340's and its only because they are the cheapest
Some organizations can get you suited up. In Canada we have a lot of ways to get kids suited up if they don’t have the money. You should look into that. Don’t be embarrassed either. If your a good skater you will be wanted by a lot of coaches.. being a good skater is more than a lot of kids can say.. it’s the most important skill in hockey
@@Shawn-px3yz yo, i live in south africa so theres only two teams in my area and i looked into it and both of them dont give kits unfortunatially. Still into skating but im more into freestyle now still trying to learn the butterfly kick lol
20 QUID A GOAL?! JESUS!
I play with josh!!!
Noice.
Ethan Martin same I do
What if your parent is the coach
My dad said I have to prove I want it
I didn't know they played professional ice hockey in the U.K.
They had a team in the Last Winter Olympics.. had a few Canadians with duel citizenship on it.
My dad doesn't push me because I push myself
Agree👍 My parents are my biggest fans
Butcher boys rule you rock
I really love hockey and i have played since 2007 and when i was young i never wanted to practise only play and play. Now when I am little older and better i regret that i didnt practise so hard. And i really want my little brother to be a NHL player i really see a potential in him (he is only 2 years old but really talented.... As good Slapshot as P.Laine has) and i want him to practise so he can follow his and my dream. so what can i do to make him practise hard and grow him a good hockey player Thank you
PATRIK LAINE!!!
You can't "make him" practice hard. he has to have it in him. the burning passion, the desire to keep pushing himself for the love of the game. it's not something you can teach, unfortunately.
You can give him the blueprints, but he's the one that has to build the house. Show him the way. he's still very moldable at that age, so expose him to the possibilities and all the right things to do. you can also make it your job to make sure he has all the tools necessary, so that he has nothing holding him back. but you shouldn't ever force decisions upon him
Newbie Designs nice 2005
You can’t push him. Just encourage him. He has to want it.. not you! I know of two very Talented kids that played AAA hockey their entire life who’s Dads pushed them way too much and too hard. That took their love of the game away. It eventually destroyed one of the Father Son relationships and The Super Talented Kid ended up Quitting Hockey all together half way through his OHL (Junior Hockey) Draft year. He was projected to be the Fifth Overall-pick in his draft, The OHL Sarnia Sting & London Knights wanted to draft him. They had many in person visits with him at his family’s home and had him to both Cities and Facilities to show him how much they wanted him. So when he quit his father lost it… but he told his Dad straight up that he was quoting solely because of all the Pressure his Dad put on him over the years and how he gave up his childhood for his fathers dreams not his. Unfortunately That young man has Never put on a pair of skates again, that was about 12-14 yrs ago. His mother ended up Divorcing the Dad and neither of the Kids bother with their father to this day. He is missing out on his Daughters Child who was born a couple years ago and both Daughter & his Sons Weddings too. So is it worth pushing him?? No.. just support him and guide him.. he is only two years old WTF. No two year old has a Slap Shot like an NHL player.. Maybe your not the one to help your little brother. I think your evaluation skills are a bit off. Also there are a lot of players who shoot better than Laine. If you actually pay attention to the Game you would notice that Players don’t use the Slap Shot as much as they use to because it’s more unpredictable than other types of shots. More guys work on the Skills of stick handling and getting quick shots off into very small targeted area on a goalie. It’s so much harder to Score on these Big Goalies who are in such good shape with just a big shit from the point. One timers are not slap shots. Slap Shots are the slowest Shot in Hockey. The big wind up adds time to the delivery and allows Goalies and Defenders to get set up to block it or track the shot. Wrist shots, Snap shots, stick handling and getting the puck off the stick quick is more how goals are scored in the NHL now. The game is too fast for a Slap Shot to be the best weapon a player can use to score goals. Watch more hockey and keep count of the different shots that actually score goals. Find him someone else to teach him… but only if he wants to do it… Oh ya and get ready to spend a lot of money on him if that’s the case.. make sure he is a good skater before everything else. You see him living your dream so you can enjoy it too.. maybe it’s not his dream and maybe even if it is at first he may change his mind as he gets older. I know so many kids that played AAA Hockey their entire lives… but at 16-17yrs old School, working, having a Car or a Girlfriend makes them step down to House league hockey because they want those things more than a very slim chance of playing in the NHL. The Minor leagues and European leagues are full of guys who had the NHL dream.. many very good Hockey players. Just help him Love the game. It’s a sport you can play longer than any other. I’ve played with guys in their 70’s & 80’s. Help him get to that love which will keep him active for his entire life. Don’t ruin it for him. He may want to be a figure skater when he learns to skate… how much are you going to help him if that’s his dream. My Son wanted to play nothing but Soccer at 2yrs old.. When he played his first year at three and a half he ended up hating it and never played again.. He loved and still loves hockey and Lacrosse and still plays both at 15yrs old. But he plays because he loves it and he is good.. Very good at both but also has no Expectations of playing in the NHL or NLL.. because he is a realist and knows that millions of others with parents way richer than me to be able to put their kids in elite hockey centres or Schools.. Even they don’t have a clear path to the NHL. Let your brother be a kid and pick his own passions or you will ruin it all for him. Just support and encourage him in a positive way. Cheers 🇨🇦
Watch Culturama “How to be a Hockey Parent” for a clever and funny look at the bad characteristics of some hockey parents.
my dad has pushed my whole way
Do you regret it?
I just wish my son's coach was decent
Parents pay their kids for goals? I thought it was a joke when someone yelled that they'd give their kid $5 if they'd score. That may explain some puck hog behavior from kids who were on my son's teams.
lol
To be honest my parents don't care.
Your not alone
They care but don't know the sport so I do things myself
