    Jeremy and Scott, thank you!! I am a 24 yr old woman who decided that I wanted to start hockey. It is very difficult to find a place here where I live in Georgia, USA, that I can skate to practice. I had my first practice with a women's team on Wednesday night and the players were extremely impressed with my skating. They asked me if I had sports experience (no), skating experience on ice (no), or rollerblading (no). They said I skated like I've been on the ice multiple times. This is all thanks to this video series. I have been watching them on repeat the last few weeks and kept a lot of these tips in mind. It really made me feel amazing during our drills when I heard my teammates yelling "Yeah that's right you got it!!" when I was doing drills correctly on the first try. I'll be recommending these videos to everyone.

      You just gave me a lot of hope. I am an 18 year old woman and I have also decided that I would like to play. I was afraid it was too late for me to try. Now that I just read your comment, I have more hope! Thank you!! Have a good one!

    I really appreciate these videos. As a kid, I always wanted to play hockey but my parents could never afford to put me into any program. I am 21 now and just learning the basics, but already have been making a lot of progress by watching your videos. Hopefully, I'll be able to play in a beer league by next winter. Thank you guys!

      I'm in the same boat as you buddy, played hockey for a few years when I was young and the traveling and expenses just got too much. Now I'm 21 and hoping to join a beer league either this year or next!

    Thank you for making these videos. When I was 4, my mom put me in lessons, but when I was on the ice I never got off the chair they would give me. Now I am 12, and my mom put me in skating lessons but I am the slowest in my class. I went to the arena to practice, and your tips really helped, thank you.

    those red striped pants and red striped jacket are the perfect litmus test for a good hockey stance, you could put a protractor right on that angle...90 degrees all the way Scott

    Yesterday I took some videos from me playing hockey and I was shocked. It feels as if I'm in a proper position, but when I actually saw it, it looks as if I'm just standing, so I decided to look for some videos to really start at the very basics. So thanks for this video, because this is really the starting point and it's mostly taken for granted in other videos. 👍

    Love the vid, any suggestions on converting if you’re already an upright skater? Apart from more practice of course, like how to train yourself to think that way versus what obviously feels “normal”.

    Man, I wasn't low enough during our last practice and got hammered against the boards - concussion for me. Now I might be out the rest of the season. :( Wish I would have watched this before pracy, that's for sure! How important staying in this stance ALWAYS on the ice is!!!

  • @madzzz22
    @madzzz22 8 лет назад +9

    I was just wondering if you have any tips for keeping your skates straight and without the bender look. And if you have any good drills that would help me with that, that would be nice. Thanks

    • @ratsaw-f6e
      @ratsaw-f6e 7 лет назад +6

      i know im not jeremy and this is a year old comment but my tip is to learn to tie your skates as tight as possible, and practice your balance. both tutorials you can find on youtube

    Do you have any tips for improving squat duration? I can squat over 3 plates a side for 10+ reps but I can only squat into a hockey stance for about 30 seconds. Is this naturally easy for people? It hurts my legs holding it that low

    • @RichardNorthwood
      @RichardNorthwood 11 лет назад +3

      Do more single leg exercises, as well as try a few sets of squats with just a plate a side, and pause for a long period at the bottom of the squat, as well as come up on the squat as slowly as you possibly can.

    I’m sorry but going that low cannot be beneficial it looks like your trying to hold a wall sit when you look at the players when they skate in the fastest skater comp they don’t get that low

    • @hockey365
      @hockey365 5 лет назад +1

      Ryan B it helps while training to practice going that low. Utilizing extended ranges allows you to function more efficiently at lesser ranges.

    • @ryanb6679
      @ryanb6679 5 лет назад

      Blayne Barrs really when I was in power skating and they made me get so low I was like taking a shit and they were getting me to skate and it was just wrong it never translated on the ice the only time it did was when I skated how I normally did (not saying I skate perfect it needed some tweaking but I did not need to do that) but I basically skated like I normally did added resistance and just lots of explosive drills and I saw pretty much instant results after a week or 2 on the ice
