i agree with your advice completely. also, though, i use "point" in the offensive zone for a point pass, and either "bump it" or "up" if they are pressuring deep d.

Another point is to think of a triangle in the defensive zone, the three points, the faceoff dots and the goal. In the defensive zone, the puck should NEVER be passed through that unless there is no opposing pressure.

I am not saying this to critique your work, just getting more information for people watching.

Good info. I'll probably use the "triangle" concept with my team this season. - Ed

part 4 of my comment (Scroll down, read them in the order I wrote them)

So I want to some how learn how to play hockey (Theory) on my own time, so when i go to games I'm improving & the guys can play w/me w/out getting frustrated & screaming like little children? it's ridiculous some times..

And like, I just found out what hacking was a couple months ago. Some guy wanted to fight me over it. I was like "Dude? I didn't know I couldn't do that?" It's cause I don't play in a league, help me :)

Hey mtallicuhh,

Well, that's how most people learn the game - a little at a time. Just like you said - play, get advice (or yelled at ;) sometimes) and there's another note in your knowledge of the game.

Two other good ways to learn are watching how other folks play your position and getting video of yourself. Nice work on using YouTube to improve your game too.

Best thing: bring a postive attitude and don't be afraid to say "sorry, I'm still learning the game."

Best of luck,

Ed

A tip I've found useful: one of the best ways to get the puck carrier's attention when you are open for a pass is to yell their name. Your teammates will hear their name clearly over any other noise/shouting going on, and know that you are looking for the pass. Most of the time it takes care of the opposing team slapping their stick on the ice or yelling out "pass!" "middle!" etc. (trying to fool your teammate into giving up the puck.)

A good option instead of Carry (being a 2 syllable word that can be flubbed) is Wheel! I hear that used often

Thanks, very helpful tips. Although my teammates and I use "Man On" when we have pressure. We also use "Point" for a point pass.

make some more bro.... i've been checking back.

out of all the hockey advice on youtube, yours is the best bro, keep 'em comin

[mtallicuhh]

thanks bro, I am honestly the nicest guy there. out of the 20 or so regulars that show up to these pick up games, unfortunately almost 100% of them are super childish, some of these guys are in their 30's & 40's & they scream cuss words if they fall on their shin pad? or they'll scream a cuss word if i make a simple mistake? these guys have sucky personalities, some of them anyway, there are like 4 guys- totally cool.. but, i have questions bro. can I ask you questions? your my only hope
