Great vid! Haden and I were thinking of doing this too. We joked about trying to take 10 000 shots in a single day. Maybe we should do a vid like this first though 😁
PLEASE DO THIS!
Yeah you might decimate a tendon in the process...might not want to do the 10k shots.
Haha stay safe. I took a month off shooting right afterwards to avoid major elbow issues
Hi
Coach Jeremy, I started shooting pucks last week for the first time in 10 years. My goal is to lose a ton of weight and join a men's league by next Fall. I've noticed tremendous stiffness and pain in my fingers and wrists, especially my left hand and left tendon near my thumb. Do you recommend anything? I've only done two days because of my work schedule. First day was 250 to 300 shots, and second day was 150 to 200 shots so maybe it was just a ton of shots all at once. I'm thinking of getting new gloves, since I'm in love with the Warrior LX series and all I have right now are a pair of okay RBX. If you guys have any recommendations of how I can keep shooting and avoid injuries I'd greatly appreciate it. I love I didn't forget how to do my slap shot. My release needs some work and I need to practice putting my outer hand (left) out more since I shoot right so I can drive the stick better and flex it and get a better snap. Let me know what feed back you have. I really want the puck to Launch and EXPLODE off my blade every time with accuracy.
Love the new style of editing you guys have been trying. Keep up the great work! 👊💪
Quick comment about elbow pain: I had the same thing and it was tricep tendonitis (which is quite rare in athletes), not golfer's elbow. Big difference and the treatment is also different. If you have tricep tendonitis, rest is not the cure (long term). If you stop pretty much immediately, you'll be okay for a while but it'll come back eventually. To cure it, you need to start with isometric exercises, then supported tricep exercises, followed by regular tricep-strengthening exercises. Continued exercise (that doesn't target your tricep) will also help recovery greatly (more blood flow), as will heat on the elbow. Don't self-diagnose - get a physiotherapist to check it out.
Great work your videos are getting better and better!🔥
As always, great info. A series in shooting technique with varying shots and situations would be great!
Absolutely love these type of video. Hope we can see more experiment like that
So happy I stumbled onto this channel. Love the content
Great video!!! Thank you for the hard work
Love to see you guys posting!!
Absolutely great vid guys!
Had the same issue with golf elbow when shooting too much! Six months of reduced play and practice before I got through it. Great vid!
Awesome video! I just set up recently the tools for practicing shooting, good to know these tips beforehand!
thanks for the video! i have a lot of things i need to change in my shot too so i might try the 7 day challenge!
Yes I need all the help I can get. Thanks for your great videos
I need a setup like this! Awesome vid bro.
Yes definitely would love the extra technique video.
Loved the video and tips. Thanks coach!
Great work on this vid!
great video. more challenges!
Yes do the technique video!!
Awesome video. Can’t wait to show my son who just started playing hockey
A technique video would be awesome and explaining how to properly shoot when wearing shoes so that it translates to skates and on ice
Wear high heels lol. But really that'd be a great video
Cool video bro 😎 nice shots
YES i need the technique vid coach!
Yes, a video on shooting technique would be awesome.
YES let's get that shot technique vid
Loved this video. A technique video would be much appreciated
This will help thanks my 9yr old just got cut from his spring hockey team and we talked to the coach it was because he lacks shooting power. Our plan was going to be 100 pucks a day plus practice and we might still stick to that but we will keep this video in mind to not make it hurt him in the long run. Thanks!
i have been playing hockey for 8 years now. last year i had the opportunity to complete the challenge of shooting 10,000 pucks. i did it. on the ice my goals and shots improved by 1000%, and made it shooting blue line goals and shootout goals. i am currently working on completing the challenge again for my off season. i 100% recommended this to any hockey player to see amazing results!
I’ve been shooting a lot recently, maybe more than I thought. I remember having a really good shooting day probably the best of my life. Pucks were flying like rockets. I think I reached the point of diminishing returns after that, I kept on shooting, shot didn’t seem to be getting better. Got so lost in the sauce I thought about becoming a lefty. Elbow started to hurt, just a little. I knew this was the kind of thing I couldn’t push through but I’m glad for it. As I am now, my shot has reached its plateau and the elbow pain was almost a way of saying more can’t be attained by repetition alone.
Great experiment! But- as soon as you got that elbow pain from snapshots, you could have changed to only back-hand shots; to avoid pain/injury.
Heartwarming mate! JIMMMY STUUUU! ;-)
Great Video!
Wow, that’s such a nice room !! One lucky guy for sure
Definitely protect that elbow. I got tendonitis in both my elbows from playing hockey 4 days a week and working out on top of that. Only cure was rest. I played through most of it but my work outs were definitely reduced. It went away in one arm after about 2 months, but my other arm took about 5 months.
I play every day and workout 4 days a week of ice and I feel like I’m playing with sprained wrists. Rest is the cure.
Shooting with the release ahead of you makes a big difference. Back about 3-4 years ago I made slow motion videos of my sons shot. At the time he was around 12 years old. He’s now about to turn 16. Back when we watched the slow motion videos together, I showed him a few adjustments like bending and dropping his knee down a bit and using his hips more when he shoots. We watched videos of Brad Marchand and Phil Kessel and a few others. They both have a very good snapshot that has a release that’s far ahead of the front foot. My son is a good player that plays in Tier one elite u16. Coaches and players are always given him compliments on his shot and how fast his release is. Many ask what he does to get it like that. He tells them I shoot a lot.
This isn’t a bragging comment. Just agreeing with the tips in this video. They will truly help.
Shooting a lot is THE only way to become a good shot.
Would love to see a breakdown of the technique on the shot. Looks like you kind of jump from right foot to left, then a hair later shoot...
I did this last summer and ended up at the same point you did, but instead of my elbow, it was the underside of my bottom hand's wrist. Those tendons are still pretty beatup even from regular physio trying to strengthen it back up. So your words of caution are definitely a good idea, shooting hard for hundreds of pucks every day with a ton of flex into your stick will beat up on your joints. Be careful and don't over do it.
I did that a few months ago shooting too much. It still hurts if I overdo it
Nice video. Where’d you get those shorts?
Good stuff!
Lets NOT hurt ourselves. But yes i wanna see the video. I am 59 and started playing again after 17 yrs. I started with dropins in december 2020 and joined a c+ level league in mid April. I have been watching yalls conditioning work out videos since mid may 2021 and i believe they have helped alot. Funny part is, by just thinking about what workouts i should do i "invented" my own routines and some were almost exactly like the ones in yalls videos. I was doing jumps and leaps. I was running UP GRADES to get my core and legs stronger. My lower abdomen was and is a lil shredded after starting again but i got it now where i can do pullups without feeling like wolverine stuck his claws through my lower abdomen. Over all i love youseguys videos. I have about 4 maybe 5 points in 6 games and have been told by players on opposing team that they love watching me play!!! I was astounded but gratified. I have good hockey sense and am ALWAYS in the mix. Hell, i RIPPED a slapshot from center ice redline in my last game and the goalie had to blocker it away. Labeled for top right corner. Anyway i am doing the Mcdavid stutter steps, the knee tuck leaps. The side to side leaps, the speed skate extension hold, the extension ankle movement for the finishing stroke. Overall i believe yall have helped my skating a bit. Oh yeah the hip flexor workout where one leg pushes hips up and other leg is straight and raised and lowered. Keep up the good work. Unfortunately i have no place to work on my shot just yet... laters
Would be interested in seeing a technique video. Thanks.
Love to have a shot technique video
I also had elbow pain from shooting lots. But I found that wearing an arm brace or something to wear right at the top of your forearm just below the elbow got rid of that pain and I was able to keep shooting a lot more without having to worry about my elbow as much.
Definitely, getting a tennis elbow band to relieve that tension & pain is huge. Don’t push through it at that point though, risk of more serious damage is high and it leads to compensation and injury elsewhere. For high volume training like this I’d recommend a full arm compression sleeve or a “shooting” sleeve (like many basketball players wear). It can make a world or difference as a preventative measure without the risk.
The older I get the more I’ve learned/needed to rely on preventative compression... also, don’t get old. 😂
do a technique video please im never sure if im doing my snappers right or my one footed wristers
Can you do a technique series on shooting?
i've done similar things i found that you need to have multiple types of shots that you are working on to elongate you productive parts of the sessions/workouts
Great video! Can you tell me which Nikes those grey shoes are please?
Nice tips.... I don't want to be saying shooting shessions so this is helpful
I am 13 years old and I work on my shot almost everyday, I play u18 hockey and I got a shot over 100 kilometres per hour
The opening image is what would happen to me- 😂 Well done! Hope your elbow got some nice ice and heals up!
😂 Haha that's how I felt after the first few days. Shooting 150 pucks without breaks is tougher than it sounds
@@hockeytraining Well thank you for testing the idea out for us and sharing, so we don’t have to 😂 and agreed watching yourself in slow motion can really help assess your functional movement.
Hello, I would really appreciate the video on shooting technique, would really help me. Cheers!
Yes I gained tennis elbow almost a year ago and taking a break every couple days does so much good
What is the speed of you wrist shot and slap shot?
Technique vidéo would be awesome!
Do you shorten your stick to compensate practicing without skates on?
A technique video will be awesome. Especially if any poor mechanics might contribute to injury
What are the shoes your wearing at the start of the video there 🔥
Golfer’s elbow is awful, hope you’re feeling better! I had to a year ago when I was playing two nights a week and working out in the gym 3 days a week, it would not go away until I was forced to take time off (thanks to COVID).
Technique video would be great considering I’m not sure what I learned here. Doing anything repetitively long enough is going to cause irritations. What if you consistently changed your release angle and shop type. I understand trying to get enough reps in to change a habit but you don’t need to do them consecutively. Ive never taken 200 snapshots at the same angle in a game before.
Les go baby
I shoot almost everyday for around 30-45 minutes. My rest is usually just picking up pucks and taking 30 seconds off to drink some water. Luckily I have no elbow pain yet.
You should really not take that risk cause then you won’t be able to shoot at all
@@robertzinkewich8548 Im only 22 and have no pain so I think its okay. the 30-45 mins includes stick handling and breaks so dw. Thanks for the care though lol.
Good to hear!
What's your shot power improvement? I don't see any any measurements! Radar gun?
Thank you for the video. Any recommendation on where to find a gym/place to shoot? I don't have a basement to shoot in.
Outdoors is the best spot. Good luck!
Technique vids Pls.
If you keep breaking the nylon zip ties, switch to stainless steel zip ties (cheap on Amazon) for your shooting tarp.
Good idea thanks
I rather have breakaway zip ties than tear the eyelets of the canvas
Or just use multiple zap straps :)
Loved the video! got recommended to your channel by Hockey Psychology! I've been out of hockey for almost 8 years due to concussion, but now i want to get back into things and play Men's League but I've noticed my shot is not at all what it used to be! Especially my wrist shot! what can i do to get back to where i was? i know you suggest not doing this 30 day challenge but to be honest i'm really tempted
Glad you found my videos! I'd start with the 6-Second Shot Power System on the Hockey Training TV app. hockeytraining.tv/programs/6-second-snap-shot-solution
This includes shooting pucks 2-3 times per week and some daily bodyweight exercises to help your shot.
I think you are putting the wrong foot forward on your writer shot … it’s the foot that’s farthest away from the puck is it not? Or is that the diff between the wrist and snap shot?
rest it up, golfer's elbow just lingers forever without a good break once it starts to flare up (been there, done that, bought the physiotherapists t-shirt :p ). I think technique work or choosing shots with less shock loading on the elbow would be ok - you could probably practice your weight transfer/technique/power on wrist shots everyday year round and be fine, but blow up your elbow with max effort snappers after just a week.
Definitely a technique video!
Let’s go McAvoy.. he’s becoming a elite Defenseman. Yes you could argue that he already is but….,,
A challenge? more like awesome fun. Spoiled baby.
ive been shooting pucks every day for an hour for the last 2 years
Wow💪
I bet your going to be the best on our team now
I started shooting pucks for the first time In Awhile around 4-5 weeks ago. At the beginning my shot power increased rapidly. Suddenly the more I shot after that, the more my shot decreased in power which created confusion and led to me shooting more out of frustration. My elbows started to feel uncomfortable and I realized that was the issue so I stopped shooting. My elbows have been in constant pain and popping for the past few weeks now and don’t know what to do, I really want to start shooting again. I’m only 15 too.
I’ve started stretching, ordered an arm brace and I am seeing the doctor later this week and other advice or help would be greatly appreciated
Hey buddy, take some time off shooting. Work on shoulder mobility and strength and forearm training. Should help with the elbow pain.
@@hockeytraining thanks
I get pretty bad tendonitis in my elbow a few years ago playing baseball. I couldnt throw right for months.
you don't change your leading leg from time to time? i alternate my weight shift when shooting and sometimes shoot off my opposite leg when i have time to set it up. i get a bit more accuracy that way.
You'll see in the video I worked off both legs. The footage was limited so I may have more footage off my left leg, but I work both.
I've learned plenty of things from this one video, including... putting more strength into my shots, I need faster snapshots, and other new skills. Not only did this help you, but also benefited me. Thanks for posting this video! Your gonna be a big youtuber one day :)
Yes to technique video.
For dryland shooting like this, would your recommend taking a little length off your stick to accommodate the lack of skates, or just use my normal length stick (which is admittedly longer than it’s supposed to be)?
Yes you want to use a shorter stick. I cut my down to where mine would be on skates when I wear the shoes I'm going to be shooting in
Hey Kevin In the winter I shot pucks like almost ever day and I going to do it again over the summer before my lite travel season hey Kevin do you remember me Emily 11 from the 1on 1 vid also how much should I do shooting workouts a week for a lite travel player that’s 11
Hey Emily! 1-3x shooting workouts per week 👍🏼
love it i think i need to do that cause i am on the best team in canada for my age
Funny story, I did this, similar thing happened. I have biceps tendonitis and it was wrist shots that did it for me. However, 4-5 days a week, 100-150 pucks a session, my shot is just so much better I didn't have one when I started, now its actually good.
I shoot like 350-400 pucks at 90-100% a day. I think my body has just got use to it. Have had the elbow thing a couple times but took days off. No problem shooting everyday, just don’t push yourself through injury
How far away from the tarp did you shoot? Did you do just wrist/snap shots? or slap shots too? Not sure I saw any highlights of slap shots
Not sure the exact distance, roughly 20 feet. I worked mainly on snap shots, but also did some backhand and slap shots. I'm not a big fan of slap shots on synthetic ice without skates so I'll have to bring my skates to the HQ 👍🏻
Hey what stuff off ice can I do yo learn to shoot harder and in stride?
You'll need a complete program design for that: www.hockeytraining.com/programs
Thoughts/question from a beginner:
While more practical and probably more comfortable, it would seem that practicing shooting the puck while wearing shoes vs hockey skates might have some disadvantages. One, is that an obvious height differential exists between the two (shoes and skates) - might this height difference slightly alter the players proper shooting technique and body form/mechanics once they hit the ice wearing skates or vice versa?
You'll want a stick that's shorter. Mark where your stick goes up to on your skates, and cut a practice stick down to the same spot when you're wearing shoes
Yes I want a 4th
Allright kids and those new to the game, 30 days is a start, but really it takes years. So don't be disappointed after 30 days, no one in this earth learnd how to shoot in 30 days.
What I'm trying to say is that the guy in the video has obviously years of experience in hockey, so he's not starting from scratch. Have that in mind and keep grinding, and more than anything have fun. 👍
Forgot to emphasize how physically draining it is to shoot pucks for a long period of time. As in this video, your hands will be blistering for sure. Also in the latter half of the training it is truly all about grinding on as your upperbody is getting stiff and sore.
But it will be worth the agony. 👌
I’d like to see the technique video
Can you do the video of shot technique
It's up at the channel, check it out: ruclips.net/video/JURI1IGQRBw/видео.html
Hello! You seem proffesional! I wanted to ask, when you started training for hockey? I think i'm to old for it 😟
If you can read and write youre too old 😝
Your never to old to start. I've seen people between 20-40 years old join beer leagues. Some of them eventually get pretty good. Its all in how bad you want to join, and the effort your willing to put in. I say go for it
@@SpaceGhost- thanks, that really inspired me, now i need to find a coach, but i have no coaches in my city
@@Chvllo just find the closest rink. Most rinks havea ton of different program's. In my area there are "never ever leagues" which coaches adults who've never stepped on the ice. Dont be discouraged
@@SpaceGhost-I live in a small country, which loves hockey, we have 16 rinks in total, closest one is, like 60 km away, 50 minute ride every week 1,5 hours driving which costs money
Great video! Would LOVE to see the technique video. Did you only do snapshots and backhands? I’ve been really struggling to nail down the weight transfer in all my shots, specifically wrist shots. Can’t nail down the correct hand/puck placement to get the most lean on the stick. Thanks again and looking forward to other videos!
I did mainly snapshots and backhands. I'm not a big fan of slap shots in shoes on synthetic ice, so I will bring some skates to the HQ and work on slap shots in the future. Stay tuned for some technique videos
I know this is a few months later but would shooting with a stick weight help at all?
I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to work strength it's better to do that at a gym so you don't mess with your technique
new to hockey, been played baseball my life, why is shooting 30 days a challenge? u had surgery recently ?
I shoot pucks almost everyday. I have 380 pucks and I shoot 5 or 6 days a week. I shot 10 018 pucks ni May. I record every shooting workout on a calendar . In July and August I'll will shoot a lot less as I will be padding all summer. I like your videos.
I’m shooting about 2 hours a day. And I’m 10 11 soon and shooting like 1000 pucks. But ima follow your tip soon when I’m shooting harder
I don't play Ice Hockey anymore(was never good at it anyways...lol) but I play and Love Ball Hockey. In your opinion would this work for Ball Hockey also? @HockeyTraining
Yes, it definitely will!
I have noticed that I have been practicing shooting pucks with my toes slightly turned away from the net when doing my wrist shot. Is this ok or should I work on keeping my whole body facing the net when doing the wrist shot?
Ideally toes facing your target, although it's good to practice different positions too as you won't always be facing the net
Hey, I’m helping coach U18 level players and enjoyed the video. Any chance you can share your video with the shooting breakdown?
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/JURI1IGQRBw/видео.html
Do it up!!!! My child wants to seeeee. Hes 5 year
