I've worked really hard on this over the last few days. The mechanics felt correct right off the bat, but I was having trouble loading up the stick. Finally, they are coming off great every time and going precisely where I point the stick. Thank you so much. When he says to take your time getting into position on steps one and two, please listen. And be sure to take that full length lunge forward. The sound of the stroke. Everything was important. Before, I was bending way down just to be able to flex my stick, and the wrist shots were still aimable, but slow. I hated it. Any goalie could go have dinner and be back in time to glove catch any one of these shots. I had enough and I wanted the real deal. This is the real deal.
Just wanted to say these videos are brilliant. I'm 49, I thought I knew some stuff, and I'm realizing how little I know. So I am learning tons, and I am seeing the results even though I only play roller hockey for fun, so thanks a ton for these.
I think there is a very subtle but very important que omitted in this Excellent video: @ 11:45 Sean says that weight transfer is just a lateral lunge, and it's important to continue to skate straight to the net while taking the shot. However @ 11:50 mark during the demo of the position 2 it's very clear that pulling the puck back also includes rotating the torso and legs sideways to the left (or to the right for the right handed shot) so that during the release the front leg ends up almost completely sideways to the net.
Besides being an awesome powerful skater and a formidable player, you are a brilliant teacher. Your analytical skills allow you to breakdown the subject matter into key components, explain each clearly and thoroughly, then step-by-step reassemble all into a cohesive lesson that can become a skills tool useful for players of every ability level. Well done Sir. Well done indeed! On behalf of all the hockey community, THANK YOU.
Wow. Absolutely wow. Completely new beginner here. And just wow. The lesson, the examples the explanations. Props too you guys! I’ve never learned and quickly developed a skill faster than I have from any video ever until this one. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you sooo much. Such a great video.
For kids; at 7:40 sec will have them raising the puck instantly! Wrist-high (the windup) , wrist low (the release), wrist-high (the follow through). I tell my son to "Rev the engine!".
Thanks very much Riaz! I like that "rev the engine!" Great to hear from you and hope this video really helped you out!

Don't know why I haven't looked here before!! Been following you on Instagram for a long time.. Happy I found these videos here. Thanks Sean for such great videos and educational hockey stuff. Will be adding these to my Coaching Arsenault!! Cheers
I literally shot 1000s of pucks 1 summer into a milk crate from the end of my drive way all wrist shots. To this day its still an absolute laser beam because my weight transfer is so smooth....i just wish i put that same amount of time into my slap shot. Not many videos can replicate a devastating wrister. This one does. Wrost HAS to roll over. This guys videos are the best
best videos i have ever seen. Hope they do videos for shooting in stride all 3 shots. snap slap wrist. all in stride. then shooting from defense position and shots from the point with lateral movement. one could hope.
I wish i had the time and the resources to come to Canada and spend six months with you and take every one of of your clinics. Your an awesome trainer/coach. Thank you
I dont often disagree with you but i do have a bit of a gripe to pick here. And thats with a rigid release point the best shooters have the ability to change their release angle and that should be something we allow to have flexibility at younger ages
And I disagree with your statement, respectfully, of course. At a younger age, they need to focus more on proper technique to develop their game. I feel that teaching a player at a young age about different release points would only confuse them and cause bad habits to form.
Nice tips, but the background noise is really distracting. Anyway I think I have to work on keeping the puck in closer as you described. Hope you make more vids. Thx

Hey, Quick question. What do you call the pants you're wearing? Practice pants?😆 I've been looking all over for them but no one can tell me where to get them or what they're called.
Why does it seem like he is an amazing instructor and can really breakdown the mechanics, but when he puts it all together, maybe doesn’t have the prettiest shot… I’ll have to see if there are some videos of his wrister from blue line distances. That’s where you can see if someone can really zip it off their blade
Hello sir.. we need a coach for ice hockey in Ladakh (India ). And help me that how can I order CCM COMPANY ice hockey equipment. I tried so many times. Do u know how can I shipping ice hockey equipment to India??? Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I weigh 150lbs with a 75 flex, but can't seem to get much flex out of it unless I put so much body weight onto it that I'm off balance. no way i can keep the stick flexed for 4'. How are these guys in the NHL bending their sticks in half?
I like my stick to be up to my forehead/top of the nose on the ice, it lets me to grip my bottom hand lower. Is that ok? Because it gives me more power and accuracy.
Thanks very much for your comment Mr. Master-Me! Absolutely thats okay. I suggest anywhere between eyebrows to under the chin is acceptable. Its all up to you and what your preferences are. Each player is a little different. I suggest cutting your stick very little by little and taking a few shots and stick handling outdoors with a puck repeatedly (without taping the knob of the stick) until you feel its perfect. Then tape the knob. Be open to changing it if you begin to sit lower in your stance. Tall players and defensemen usually have longer sticks for poke checks and also slap shots. Forwards have a stick between under the chin to bottom of the nose for stick handling and quick release shots. Though, Martin St. Louis used to have a very long stick and he was a tremendously good stick handler, passer and was a shorter player.

Make sure you get a good spin on the puck when you shoot, otherwise you are just sweeping the puck. At the follow-through your blade should point towards the target and be fairly vertical i.e. not open up (nor close up too much).
Master Chef good call! I hope the lessons are still helpful for you though. I wonder if there’s a software program that could inverse some videos for us haha
maybe you could if you visualize it as if you were looking at yourself in a mirror it might help. A right hander looking at themselves in a mirror looks like a left hander.
Please note that this is the old school way we learned to shoot using wooden sticks stiff as iron rods - a long sweep with your hands. It's like throwing your bow, instead of using it to shoot an arrow.

The best detailed, segmeted Wrist Shot explanation I've heard in 30 years of hockey and Physical Education instruction. Well done .
Thank you!
The noise of the skates on the ice and the noise of the puck hitting the stick just never gets old
Hell yeah bro. For real.
Hockey Broski you got that right
Hockey Broski true
Canadian ASMR haha
Fuckin awesome what u said bro.

I just scored my nastiest goal thanks to your training video. Thanks Man!
awesome

9:39 The scoop was pretty nice to explain the Baseball analogy 🤙🏿💯
best video ever, finally someone addresses that you do not stand perpendicular to the goal when you shoot in a game
Best instructional hockey guy on the internet. Plus it doesn't hurt to skate the way this guy does to get your attention.
Awesome, the kids you train are lucky to have you. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I've been playing redhockey for almost 40 years and this was the best explanation of a wrist shot.
Thanks coach
Great job dissecting this important shot. Following your steps will create a rocket of a shot.
I am letting you know that I am so impressed of your teaching how to wrist shot a puck.
Besides being an awesome powerful skater and a formidable player, you are a brilliant teacher. Your analytical skills allow you to breakdown the subject matter into key components, explain each clearly and thoroughly, then step-by-step reassemble all into a cohesive lesson that can become a skills tool useful for players of every ability level. Well done Sir. Well done indeed! On behalf of all the hockey community, THANK YOU.
As soon as I started visualizing a smaller target my shot accuracy became so much better. Appreciate the tip!
Perfect video coach ! That is exactly how to shooting should be teached by all coaches.
Wow. Absolutely wow. Completely new beginner here. And just wow. The lesson, the examples the explanations. Props too you guys! I’ve never learned and quickly developed a skill faster than I have from any video ever until this one. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you sooo much. Such a great video.
Your great man I have practice at 6:45 I’m watching this to warm hope this video helps me(:
Best ... shooting demonstration...
Excellent job explaining the wrist shot in motion! I also appreciate all of the tips for how to teach youngsters the proper mechanics!
I figured out slapshot from your videos. Now im going to practice this at the odr. Thanks bud you are a great couch
Coach

This video was really great, you cover a lot more details that I was missing that other videos did not cover. Keep it up!
Good for beginners
This man is a gold mine!
this guy's great'. lot of knowledge, be smart n listen.
Very informative. Thank you sir.
Many thanks!
How do you get that snap if you're pushing down with that other hand? I feel like it's hard to do both
Nice tips, but the background noise is really distracting. Anyway I think I have to work on keeping the puck in closer as you described. Hope you make more vids. Thx
this man used to be my hockey coach

Great video! One question I have, how long should your stick be on you while on skates.
Pretty late response but i hope you have figured it out by now. it should be right under your chin
Hey, Quick question. What do you call the pants you're wearing? Practice pants?😆 I've been looking all over for them but no one can tell me where to get them or what they're called.
FEDKA2 haha no problem. It’s a Bauer track suit! Track jacket and track pants 😊
@@itrainhockey Excellent! Thanks so much

They weigh more than you and are wayyyy stronger than you are, hit the gym or just keep shooting
please explain snapshot, thx
make a snapshot video
Why you dont make new videos? Please, please, please do it

My shots aren't elevating when starting with the puck on the heel of my blade unless I rotate my bottom hand wrist. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you get a good spin on the puck when you shoot, otherwise you are just sweeping the puck. At the follow-through your blade should point towards the target and be fairly vertical i.e. not open up (nor close up too much).
Imagine having to play against this guy in beer league
actually about the jumping part, people who do box jumping indeed flex completely before jumping, not just halfway

Let’s activate our 400 dollar stick capability’s 😂😂😂
i wish i watched this video before i raged and broke my stick :)
Man everyone is left handed... it's hard to picture yourself doing it if you're righty
Master Chef good call! I hope the lessons are still helpful for you though. I wonder if there’s a software program that could inverse some videos for us haha
maybe you could if you visualize it as if you were looking at yourself in a mirror it might help. A right hander looking at themselves in a mirror looks like a left hander.
Did you know both myself and Gretzky lost years of production using an aluminum that would not flex!!
