Ice Hockey - Edge control

[jostet]

Is there any videos on starting and stopping from this DVD out on youtube etc. (it comes right after this chapter) ???

[c32amgftw]

I tried one leg weaving at stick and puck yesterday and it was impossible for me to keep the momentum going

[xlovehockeyx]

Very easy

[NewtFather]

These videos were my main resource this past summer when i was learning how to skate. They really helped.

[thescrounger1]

Damn, I need to learn how to do this. It's going to take forever.

[10bruinsfan10]

the player at 4:55 is a very strong skater

[mrceebees14]

I remember my coach having me do these drills until I couldn't skate anymore. I used to be sore for days until I started to lift weights which made me stronger, but it took some flexibility away from me.

This is without a doubt, one of the hardest sports to play and it still remains my favorite sport.

-An American.

@mrceebees14 your nationality means little if you are determined. You might aswell be from Brazil, if you love the sport and are determined you'll succeed.

[mrceebees14]

@bolpan I say that because the joke in my family is I should have been born Canadian. Lets put it this way, hockey season is the ONLY time I watch TV, after the season is over, I disconnect the cable and the Summer is spent on my fishing boat or playing Roller hockey with friends at a local rink.

But yeah, I hear you. Being a small guy players like Theo Fleury and Cliff Ronning were always my favorites, especially Ronning.

[xxxxclutchxxxx]

@bolpan well it means a little.. i dunno how good the minor hockey program is in brazil.. tough to be great if theres nowhere to play.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

That one-footed edge (Ss up and down the ice) is incredibly difficult.

[CryZword]

[hockeyplaya2029]

what do they mean by quiet upper body?

[561DontFuckRound]

Controlled and not moving around much

[SugarHollow123]

i kno right

[ultimateavsfan]

Not moving around/off balance. In other words your not supposed to do jumping jacks while working on your technique : )

[Dave51262]

This is one of the best videos on skating I have seen. Thank you for posting. I have made so much progress by these drills in just 2 weeks. I will keep at it. Your other videos on skating are great too. How come your channel is gone?

[louernius07]

Great vid. Very instructional. Starting to think I should have checked out youtube instead of paying for lessons

[boipinoi604]

@louernius07 Both is good, you learn techniques but an instructor will tell you what you're doing wrong.

[arnarne]

This is a very good and informative film. If you learn to master all these techniques, you certainly will become a really good skater! I only wish someone had told me when I was a child, as I LOVE skating! Thank you so much for posting!

[MrHman33]

LOL, I learned by watching how the NHL players moved their feet. If I fell, I'd get up and try again, if I fell, try again.

[MrHman33]

I also noticed the difference in skates. From a 40 dollar pair compared to a 400 dollar pair. Huge difference.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

@MrHman33 Very true. It's almost a waste of money to get anything less.

[boipinoi604]

Does anyone know where to download the dvd?

[ECWnWWF]

the DVD these videos come from is called "Team Canada's Skills of Gold"

[whatisaredneck]

Like millermp69 said, BusinessRecovery has the best videos on YouTube for learning how to improve in ice skating. =]

[leerothuk]

guys does anyone know the name of the DVD these vids come from.?

[paintballgundown8]

i think skating with a stick is alot eaiser and better but dont do it all the time cause then you'l' be lost without one

[AdlerMannheim07]

skating with stick is much more difficult, i know that very good because i play icehockey for then 13 years

[evh5150316]

Skating with a stick, I find, tend to help with your overall centre of gravity. It naturally lowers it. It emphasizes the knee bend.

But with a puck it definitely adds to the difficulty to skating.

[AdlerMannheim07]

your right but if you play hockey and you´ve got the puck you can´t capitalise just on your gravity you need the get your head up ortherwise you get checkt like gaborik against hasek lol, your focus is on the puck and the other players

[evh5150316]

Yeah.

Although when did Hasek ever hit Gaborik? One is a goalie and one is a forward? lol

[rehanb]

look it up

[oglala]

he destroyed him,got a penalty for it,sent him head over skates

[solordyin]

Thanks BR!-

[millermp69]

the businessrecovery videos are by far the best teaching videos on youtube for skating

[xKuZiKaNx]

they are great but no matter how hard i try i cant get do these edge drills on my let foot

[oilersrule78]

I have a problem with "ankle skating". How to I correct this.

[ollecarlsson]

your skate strings should be lose all the way up to the top and there you have them really hard (look at ovechin´s skate strings for ex), and try the 60/60 blade radius sharpening, will keep you leaned a tiny bit forward instead of having loose strings that will make it tricky to control...
