Another tip is don't be that guy that doesn't pass
+Tim Power Or don't be that player that passes to much. Great point
+Hockey Tutorial Or the guy who screams that he's free for the passes even though he isn't.
Tim Power i got a 10/10 for team play and knows the guy who plays wing with me i love being a team player and i think i pass a bit too much
I pass too much ill sauce too a teamate when i have a free shot
i pass too much
My first time was a nightmare, I couldn't shoot or pass to save my life. But, I could play defense, I was blocking shots, breaking up plays, and throwing big hits. But my offense was crap because I was afraid of turning it over, or shooting wide. First timers reading this, DON'T BE ME. You're never gonna get good if you never try! Also, don't take chirping (trash talking) to heart, just chirp back!
Crlongboarder Hi is chirp means shoot? There is a kid told me nice chirp. I have no clue what it mean XD it was my third try on hockey.
Melissa Toh chirping is slang for talking trash
@Mike Keller native hockey is just different man haha
My first scrimmage was like that. The guys I played with (which were all dudes old enough to be my dad) complimented me and told me I was a beaut. They noticed how much I have very cat like reflexes and gave me the nickname “The Kitty” (it’s also because I won’t shut up about cats especially my four legged 3 year old)
Check for unscrewed water bottles
Not even joking that happen to me yesterday
i going to pull this in my chamionship
why
because plus it did not work everyone checked
Super Boots yes perfect
Never ever play without a cup. You might want to have a family someday.
Good tip!
+Lila Ellsworth of course u dumbass
Yes, the cup is for your pee wee.
Mike Fitzgerald then you won't have to worry about pulling out
One of my teammates played a whole season without one.
😂
Don't be the guy that stays on too longg
Them 3 minute guys i hate them
+Broughton 90HD I got one guy that doesn't skate unless he has the puck. hangs around the blue line. it's the most frustrating thing in the world.
SpikeyRocket063 Go offside when they have the puck. Play stops, kick em off.
A guy who's staying on the ice more than 90 seconds is not playing at maximum effort thus he's useless.
I would bench the guy for a few shifts so he gets the message.
@@kylejmcclure6 That's the kind of guy you don't pass the puck to ... let him float out there until he gets the message.
Don't be afraid to block a shot
Don't be the guy who gets a delay of game penalty
James Hong And don't be the guy who accidentally leaves the hanger in his sweater
*coughcough* Hossa
+Dem0litionB1rD LOL i remember that
what is a delay of game penalty in hockey?
@Russ Hughes It is when a player deliberately does something to delay the game. For example, purposely shooting the puck out of play or purposely knocking the net off would be a delay of game penalty. There are other ways to get the penalty, but those are the most common ones
"Don't be like Ovechkin."
Best hockey advice I've ever heard.
Dont *try* be like ovechkin
Ovi can do it, because he is Ovi
Was until 2018.
And he just won the Stanley Cup last night . . .
12T90 LSD25 12T90 LSD25 John Delaney I think the moral of the video is to be aware. Don’t try and be a pro when you’re not, but have fun and try. Ovechkin can do all his stunts because he is a pro, gets paid top dollar for it, and has more experience than a first timer.
34 years old, never played on an organized team and have really wanted to start. This may be the motivation.
Just started at 17
Don't listen to him for some things like when he said don't ever pass it back when crashing their zone it's overall a really good idea
@@scorchykinz dude how's it going I want to start I'm 16
I played in my first organized hockey game at 37. Scored my first goal the second game of the season and have been hooked ever since. DO IT!!
34 myself played a street hockey as a kid but want to get back in it. Hope you kill it in the future
My first ever game was a game in u18s, I went out on my first shift and scored on my first shot but was wearing the wrong jersey so the goal was given to someone else...
OH MY, LITERALLY GOING TO BE MY FIRST GAME
Tom Woodward same except I had the right jersey
Riightt
*slow clap*
How’d you get the wrong jersey?
jesus chirst, any new guys watching this video relax. your overthinking this sport wayy too much. you can start at any age as long as u have the physical ability to do it (atleast one arm to hold the stick, you technically need nothing else :) ). for your first game, be sure you know how to skate enough were you can turn, stop, and skate forward (you should be able to do all these things comfortably like its walking with enough practice, its easier then you think. and for your first game just have fun, dont pay too much attention to how your doing because i dont care how long youve been practicing your gonna suck... really bad. dont expect to be gretzky your first game (if you dont know who he is look him up). Seriously just have fun, smell the ice and work on getting better in practice not in games
So if you’re skinny do you think you should be worried about playing hockey?
@@pauljorge5089 Why would you be? You don't have to play in any full contact league (plenty of house leagues). Besides I've seen plenty of good players who were toothpicks.
this is sooo helpful. i’m thinking of joining a team when covid gets a little better because hockey is a contact sport. the only thing i’m worried about is fights breaking out and when players from the other team check you really hard.
@@libbyspafford4618 most rinks will suspend fighters for a season 1st offense keep your gloves on protect yourself and "turtle" most in house leagues are no check, but keep your head up anyway.
@@spoiler5oo ohh ok thx!
first hockey game on Sunday wish me luck!!!
good luck
How did you do?
Good luck from Canada!
Mohammed Kabir Molla, good luck. I’m starting hockey next month.
NNGaming hey so how’s your team doing?
Don't be the guy who does not know how to stop
Lol
+Bobby Mac learning it at the moment :D
The wall is your friend. At least mine atm. Lol.
You can still make Team USA 😁
That's what the boards are for!
Great advice. I would just add one thing for beginners: relax. If you are too nervous, your will show it in your play.
Had my first ever game at 24 last week and it was a blast! Got a few good contacts with the puck. Luckily we had 3 lines so I didn’t have to spend too much time out there. Like he says a few times, HAVE FUN! I told my team that i was brand new and that I was just wanting to try something new and that I’m teachable so just help me and they were all very accepting and made it great.
Don't be the guy (me) who skates on the ice then you realize you left your gloves in your bag.........
Same
Refused B I accidentally brought 2 left gloves
I almost did that a couple days ago at practice.
Yh
@@kmacdizzle ik so funny lol
I start my first game this coming Friday, 16 and here's my year one I honestly can't tell you how much your videos have helped me from stopping to crossovers. Thank you for all the advice
You still playing at 23?
Thanks for these man, I'm 31 and getting into it in the US. Great series and really appreciate putting in your time to help others! Keep it up!
Benjamin Kennedy You are most welcome! Thank you for watching and I hope we can continue to give you helpful tips.
I'm seriously so stoked I found this channel! Seriously so great to see hockey so big in the UK, I'm an Aussie who's been living over here for a bit and really great having so many opportunities to watch and play games after a 15 year break. Loving all the hockey tutorial tips. Keep up the epic work! :)
Thanks for the awesome tips.. just started playing hockey after a 27 year break. Just love your channel
Hi! I had my first hockey match a few weeks ago. It was REALLY fun. Had a few things to learn (lines and gates mostly) but overall i was happy about it. Had my second one yesterday and i noticed the improvement. I was keeping the puck in the attacking zone (i think thats what you call it) and taking it out of our defensive zone. Overall had loads of fun and i'm now desperate for my own jersey :D Thank you Chris and HockeyTutorial for the quick tricks and tips, they were really helpful 😄🤘
Really glad we could play a part in helping you. Thank you and keep playing !
Congrats! But it's a "game" not a "match"! Good an ya and keep givin' er!!! From Canada...
Just turned 35....first league game ever is next month...just been doing public and pickup since the summer
I'm so glad you made this video. I'm playing my first ice hockey game tomorrow and this video is just what I needed. Thank you.
started in my mid 40's.. been having a blast for the past few years. Im sucky at skating and will never beat anyone one on one, but learned how to get goals from rebounds and screening the goalie for others.. It helps to play with guys who are cool and not looking to put you into a E.R. room.
Lol I wish I watched this last week when I had my first pickup game. I’m 25 and It was rough, I practiced for 2 weeks before the game and that didn’t stop me from looking like a complete noob lol The good thing is that the guys I played with totally understood and gave me tips and encouragement to keep going and it was SO MUCH FUN! I can’t wait to get back on the Ice, getting better with time and making friends :)
How have things evolved?
Thanks for the video, I just started on a team and my first game the guys were complaining about some mistakes I made and I kinda got upset. This video makes it a little easier to deal with!!
Especially if you are playing with adults... Some people think they are superstars regardless of whether or not they used to be actually good or not. Remember why you are there and always try to get better.
Dj PhEaL You are most welcome! First games can be tough, keep your head up and communicate with your team. Thanks for watching
I've had to remind ex NHLers that they probably weren't born with skates on
Just had my first hockey group lesson today and it was awesome! So fun
I've been playing for a while, but for beginners, to be honest, you nailed it. These tips are very helpful and I wish I would have had this video before my first game. Awesome job man.
Man I watched this 6 years ago when I was about to play in my first game. This video helped me so much. Scored a goal with 4 minutes left in the 3rd period. I was so nervous but played surprisingly well. Ended up second in the league in scoring with 14 goals and 12 assists in 14 games.
My first game, it felt very chaotic. Didn't know where to be and when to be there. (stay in you lane!) faceoffs were confusing too. After about 2 or 3 games I started to feel very comfortable just knowing the game. I started about 2 years ago and eventually got onto my cousins mens league team. Best thing iv'e ever done.
amazing video. making the point that hockey is a life style. It's possible to have fun while also being professional and trying hard. seems like the guys i see at the rink either take it too seriously, or don't try at all.
+Ilya Bryzness First point of hockey is all about having fun, whats the point of playing if you don't enjoy it? Glad this video helped.
I absolutely love hockey and want to play and you make things make so much more sense for me, hopefully I can play soon even if its rec
I think you nailed it with "have fun". My first game on a rec team I made plenty of mistakes, asked some of the guys, and found out they really didn't give a crap. They were more interested in going to the bar afterward than the game. It was a drinking team with a hockey problem. But that "team" aside, my best games were the ones I enjoyed most. Confidence was not an issue, worrying about mistakes was not an issue, when I realized like you said, we're not playing for the Stanley Cup - it's supposed to be fun, and when I could relax and just have fun I actually played better too.
can we talk about how godly that goal was at 1:11
Could u do a video about where to stand at faceoffs please , thanks
Great suggest! This is a shameless excuse to use our drones! We'll have something up in 2 weeks for you.
Im joining a team this September. Super excited. I gotta say these videos you’ve made have been a massive help in getting me started
Good luck!
Played as a kid for a little over ten years and stopped just before high school and have always regretted it. Recently moved to Northern Colorado and really want to get started again. Most rinks around me require full equipment for Stick & Puck but I dont have everything yet..
Don't go Patrick Kane in the warm ups
SirNoName yah I'm a goalie and I hate it save it for the other goalie
Don't celly if your already killing the other team. It will turn into a dirty game
so no raping?
Lmao 😂
No practicing dekes on the goalie in warm ups, they are basically pussies and will get real vagina sore. every goalie thats told me no dekes in warm ups, sucks at break aways and shoot outs . And they are telling the team b4 they even play that they are a seive!...
Really good tips, thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video. Got my 1st game coming up in 2 weeks time and this has been really good advice.
Thanks for the tips! :) even though I’m playing youth hockey, these tips will still be helpful. I’m having my very first hockey game tomorrow and I’m 100% confident. Thanks! 👍
holy shit! you were in finland :D i used to play there every day when i was a kid!
We visit Helsinki very February. Beautiful city and the people are awesome.
Oh man the drunk one is my life. My D partner showed up so hammered once I literally had to push him into position one game haha.
Though my personal first time tip is to remember to stretch. Seen too many guys get micro-MCL tears and be out for 6 weeks after skating hard for their first game.
Looking to learn a bit more about the game, found this & it contains SO MUCH that applies to life, things I've tried to teach (history & Anthropology). Almost everything said can be translated into general or even specific life advice. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ahhhh I'm looking to get involved with the club hockey team at my university and these videos are so helpful. Thank you!!!
Really glad we could help, thats what we are here for.
I have played hockey. Really love the game. Lack of ice rinks in Ireland doesn't help. I have just done my test for level 2 coaching exam. If I pass I well be a iihf level 2 coach
cenaboyle I know, there are no ice rinks here. That's why I'm playing inline.
cenaboyle Dang, an IIHF coach, that's really awesome. Hope it works out, mate.
I hope it does. Maybe I coach in the states etc.
***** What team do you play for.
Chris Nicholl I hope it does work out. It was taking me 20 yrs to get into the ice hockey world
Dont be that guy asking for tape every single game😂
Cameron me for sure, lol
I'm just going to do this even though I'm super late. More will follow and hopefully see this.
I could "skate" in 9th grade. And that's all could do. Never held a stick in my hands until 14 years later when a buddy of mine who at one point was going to be drafted before he decided it wasn't his calling got me back on the ice. He moved home and bought me gear because he just loves the game. He taught me a good amount, but I promise what you learn in open skates doesn't equate to the same production in a game. My first real game was a serious embarrassment. I was just a fill in for 4 games and I did make one good breakout pass play, but looked like a bender and couldn't stop to save my life. I also got a breakaway pass and fell straight on my butt at center ice. Dang... Fast forward a few months during a separate rec league that was more like practice I had 15 goals in 8 games. This includes 3 hat tricks and a few breakaways. The point is that this video is right. The number one key is to have fun. And you will.
My tips:
Never give up. If you truly enjoy it, don't give up. You will have good games and bad game. I had games I wanted to quit because it was such a terrible showing, and the next game I went off. Be mentally stable and understand that these things happen.
Always try to get better. You can practice in so many ways off ice. For me I loved to work on hand-eye. I'd just take a puck and flip it around. Hand to stick, stick to hand, stick to stick. It really helps on so many levels.
And even though this is a long comment, to keep it a little shorter my last tip is watch PROFESSIONAL hockey.
One compliment I have gotten even when I was the worst guy on the ice was knowing my position and where to be. Watching professional hockey will teach you so much about your position on a professional level. Not just the skills part but the overall knowledge of the game. Believe me when I say I'm one of only probably 6 people on my team that actually watch hockey regularly. And it shows. I don't care how hard your shot is, if you never get into position, you won't get the pass or the opportunity. Learn your position.
Gave up playing hockey when I was 10 and I'm only just getting back into playing inline hockey - now I'm turning 21! These videos are a massive help and fun to watch, unlike the ones drilling into you how to play down to a T. A big thanks to Hockey Tutorial from Northern Ireland.
Guy Coleman Thank you for sharing your story, really cool that you found your way back to hockey. Glad we could help :) NeverStop!
I remember my first game was tied 2-2 with 2:00 remaining and I went to clear the puck out of my end and I sent it in front of the net and the opposing player got a nice one timer from me. DONT PASS THE PUCK IN FRONT OF THE NET ALWAYS OFF THE BOARDS
dump it along the boards*
+KuroiTatsu70 same fucking thing dumbass
+KuroiTatsu70 dont be that person that corrects everyone 😂
Im famous on my team for this
i had hockey tryouts last week and forgot to take my skate guards off. it took me a full 30 seconds to realize what was wrong 😂
Thanks for the tutorial, man! I am a beginner myself and this is better than any other sport.
First time i played i was 4 years old im 14 now so about 10 years of playing i remember stepping on the ice and struggling HARD but i kept trying and trying and at that age it didnt matter what i looked like on the ice i just wanted to act like my favorite players i would see on tv i remember i made it across the center red line and back and i was so happy i set goals for myself if you are dedicated you will get better but it dont happen overnight and if people say harsh things to you just brush it off they just dont want you to make it but that said be sure to open yourself up to constructive criticism hopefully if u read this it can help you because your not alone everyone was in your shoes at some point so dont lose your confidence and most importantly HAVE FUN!!
Man at 0:40 is that Oulunkyla ice rink in Helsinki? That's so cool! Didn't know you were filming vids in Finland, love ur stuff!
+Peter P We visit Finland every year. Normally late Jan or early Feb. Check out our pond hockey videos from Finland.
Thanks for this. Planning on starting playing next season.
SirBrittanicvs You're most welcome! Thank you for watching.
Love how you think it's that easy to start and play hahahaha moron
Just thinking about wheather or not to begin to play hockey. This was good video with some good points on it.
I have my first hockey game tommorow sooooo nervous. I did just start at the end of 2020 so I'm not that good. But my coach is letting me play. So thank you this helped.
EDIT: I have had over 30 games including half of last season and this full season. I'm one of the better players on the ice now! I cant believe how far I've come. My first game did not go very well neither did my second but my third game went pretty well and it got better from there. Also justnremeber that it takes time to learn new things and just keep practicing. That's how I got on a team and why I'm one of the better players on my team. I didnt get to play that much last season cause I started in the middle of it, but I am now playing a full season and have played probally about almost 10 to 15 games and I have scored 3-4 times this season I did score one last season when I was playing half of that season idk how I got that goal though I was really suprised (and that was probally my fifth game ever played) but anyways watching this video almost a year ago brought me to where I am now! I really appreciate the help! To anyone who is having there first game and is reading this we could talk about anything you need to know if your nervous or confused! Thank you so much for this video!😁🏒
One more tip; keep your eye on the freaking game. We swapped sides between the 1st and 2nd periods, and I didn't realise. I saw the side we were on in the 1st period was empty and thought, 'woah, where are our D-men?' The puck was about to move there so I yelled at the girl who was playing my wing (who has only been playing 6 months) to 'get back over to the other side'…and looked like a d*ck.
I didn't mean it in a nasty way…but if I'd been fully locked in I would have realised we had swapped sides and she was in exactly the right place, and would have saved myself the embarrassment!
Lizzi Burgess I lined up for a face off on the wrong side 😂 Took a while to live that one down
KEEP YOUR STICK ON THE ICE! haha!
Yes that’s a big one. Newbies love keeping their sticks high.
Nice Red Green reference.
And if the women don’t find ya handsome...
I used to live in Finland and I played icehockey regularly, too bad I kinda left hockey when I moved to Singapore. These videos make me wanna go back on ice :D
Thanks for you videos, hey are really hemlpful! I'm going to come back to hockey in september and even if I did hockey for ten years, I need some refresh!
thanks man that was very helpful I probably would have done all those things if you didn't help thanks again
+Noah Tarnasky Glad we could help. Thank you for watching.
+Hockey Tutorial your welcome for wathing
Thanks for shoutout bud, also thanks again for the video appreciate it !!!
I am really lucky that my local Icehouse in Greensboro, NC has a development league made up of guys/gals who just want that extra night to play, but also people who have never played hockey. But i didnt go in and have to be in a competitive league where I let my team down a lot. and I get to learn at my pace, which has been amazing. I have always wanted to play but didnt have the money, nor would my parents let me because it was too dangerous. but now at 21, It is the most fun I have ever had. And its a great workout!
Played my 1st hockey game last week. Took a pretty powerful shot to the biscuits. Luckily I had a cup, but i still dropped to ice and had to take a 5 min breather haha. Next time I stepped on the ice i setup a pretty sweet goal from behind the net.
The video was great. Being a Canadian, I laugh at things like this, but then again, some of us started playing before we could tie our own laces. I enjoyed this video, and it made a ton of sense for new players to the game. Let's just agree that we drop the "ice" from ice hockey and just call it hockey :)
+Daniel O'Callaghan Here in Germany, Hockey would be considered "Field Hockey", so Running around on grass for example... The Ice is where the big difference lies :D
+Daniel O'Callaghan Glad you found this useful, it was fun to make. #Hockey

Don't be the guy who plays with his chin strap undone. It's not cool. Especially when you're making a Do's and Don'ts video and get to a Don't when playing contact hockey, film you getting crushed and your bucket goes flying off. More than looking dumb though, hitting your head on the ice is not cool unless you like concussions and getting knocked out.
I'm a beginner and my last play I had it undone because I forgot to rebuckle. Lol I didnt know that was a thing
I’ve been watching for a long time and this is a bit of a throwback but I hope players who haven’t played and been coached since they were 10 years old get to see this. Be proactive and ask your teammates how to do things better. They’ll appreciate you trying to be a better player and they like teaching you stuff they’re good at. Warmup is a good time to get a pointer.
Thank you this got me ready for my first game and what not to do
I've walked onto the ice with my skate guards on 4 times 😬😬😬
My first game is on September 29th I'm super excited
Good luck!
The West Side Danger Zone thank you

Nice video. Cheers from Canada the home of hockey. Played hockey since the age of 7 and still play today at the age of 59. You can all do the math. Played in -20 c outdoors and never complained. Later on I played indoors. You guys wouldn't have survived.
Fantastic! Love all your tips and tutorials. :) Can't wait to begin playing hockey soon!
TheGlenno123 Glad this helped, thank you for watching it :)
Hockey Tutorial Lo-ve-ly! Just one little question remains for me: can one play ice hockey with glasses or contact lenses? Much appriciated, thanks in advance :3 Cheers!
TheGlenno123 Yeah you can play with glasses.

Lol sorry, I just had to point that out. Thanks for the pointers anyways :D
Will u do a youth goalie vid as I am one at Corning ny
+Drew Monroe We'll do our best.
My first actual game of hockey was amazing. I was used to indoor ice from practices, and that at first was a bit nerve wracking as well, but this was completely different. I had the butterflies when we were lined up waiting to step on, but once I did, that was all gone. It had changed from being nervous to just sheer wonder and excitement. It was about to go down.
SO as a goalie who's just starting out, here's my tips from my own personal experience.
Leave life in the locker room. The ice is for hockey, not for what happened that day.
Stay busy, even if you aren't seeing many shots, you can still focus and track the puck.
Be vocal, very vocal. Not only is this going to help your team, by letting them know various things (Like your D going for a puck on the boards with a forward on their tail, "ONE ON ONE ON!"), but it'll calm you down, you'll get into the game easier.
You're a "quarterback" as a goalie. Nobody can see the ice and the play as well as you do. If you notice someone is unmanned, then bark that out loud. Hockey is hectic, and skaters don't have eyes in the back of their head, but you get to see everything. Do them a favor there and it'll make your job easier too!
Be confident, believe that your the Wolf out there, and that the other team is nothing but a bunch of sheep. You've no reason to fear any one of them. Let them instead worry about you. You've got this.
Don't dwell on the goals and mistakes. There's nothing you can do about it now, but what you can do is, FOCUS ON THE GAME AS IT IS RIGHT NOW AT THAT MOMENT. Not a moment before, or a moment ahead. There's nothing you can do about either, but you can certainly take charge of the here and now.
After the game don't fret about being barked at for your mistakes. If you've gone out there and came off exhausted, nobody should be giving you a rough time. You worked your butt off, and that's all that can be asked of anyone.
ENJOY IT! Every time I've stepped on the ice I've been excited. There hasn't ever been a time when I wasn't excited to stop some shots. Make one great save and you'll be hungry to stop them all, and hungry for the opportunity to do it again.
Your team counts on you, if you give them your full effort, you'll be rewarded not just on the ice, but off it as well.
Good Luck goalies!
kidman2505 Thank you so much for sharing your story. Always love reading stories from passionate players. Your passion comes across so clearly especially when your talking about the excitement of stopping shots. Goalies rock and carry the heart of the team.
Hockey Tutorial You know how it is. if you love hockey, you embed yourself in it! lol
Thanks! I needed this
How can you learn to stop on skates off the ice?
@@candidlandmaintenancellc9902 extremely good advice
be aggressive and play fearlessly
This is honestly the most useful advice here.
I have my first game next week and I'm frantically looking for videos like this eeek
Just found this video but I'll share my story anyways. I started playing hockey at age 24. I'm from a Boston suburb where most of the neighborhood kids began skating at ages 3-5. I linked up with some of those childhood friends and joined a local 21+ coed sunday league, with no checks or slap shots. It was great fun but boy these people could SKATE. I was laughing when you mentioned the part about standing still while getting checked. This was literally me my first game except it was a 2 for 1. both Centers were chasing a dumped puck into my corner. I was so bad at skating I couldn't get out of the way. In fact I remember not being able to do anything except eat the hit (couldn't skate backwards or hustle for sh*t with my chicken legs). I later blocked a mean wrist shot (by a teammate, because I couldn't get out of the way in time) with inner thigh below the cup. Left the biggest purple welt, looked like I was shot by a giant paintball gun. ahhh good times
Use the boards when clearing your zone. You don't want to be the guy who gets his pass intercepted in the slot. Your goalie will hate you
Most important thing is make sure you or someone else brought beer.
My first hockey skates were 20-year-old Czechoslovakian semi-professional skates from a charity shop. I knew I would make mistakes and that they would get battered, and since they cost me £3 (plus £6 for a sharpening at the local ice rink), I wasn't afraid to push myself to learn and be worried about my skates getting dirty. Same story with my inline skates (also from a charity shop). I found that they were worth over £150 new, and I got them for £5 (mind a few scratches and slightly used wheels). I learnt to skate in them and I was pushing them hard. I have a professional pair for competitions, but I still skate in these near-destroyed skates because I know them inside-out and backwards, and I know that falling over on a new technique won't bother me a bit.
Thanks for the video it’s was really helpful especially as a girl who wants to play
Dont buy White skates and gloves! :)
why

Always remember, you aren't trying to win a Stanley Cup, so in the big picture there shouldn't be any pressure. And you also paid just as much money to be on that ice as everyone else and you have to start somewhere. I agree with Chris in that your teammates are there to help you and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Very unique video idea Chris, I think you did a great job articulating the issues around this question.
I'm playing hockey for 5 years
76 is my number.
76 all the way!
55 is mine.

Why have I only just found this channel? Awesome stuff bud. Although the dig on Ovi hurt haha
One thing I’d recommend for anyone new to hockey is check your blades for clear tape before you get on the ice. Got the ol’ rookie treatment clear tape on blade at my first S&P sesh. Don’t worry it didn’t hurt and we all laughed our butts off (besides I’ve broken my tailbone quite a few times during my many years of figure skating/gymnastics so I’m used to it hurting all the time :P)
"Don't talk much." I hate when the worst players do the most talking. Keep your mouth closed and your ears open. Ask questions and try to improve on your own weak areas. Guys will cheer you on as you get better no matter your level as long as you're trying to learn and improve.
Don't try to dangle evertone. You're not Crosby
Crosby never dangles anyone but okay
Great video man, very informative.
Im sure this help me to put my mind in my head for the hockey coming back
