Do these top hockey academies simply not teach body checking at all anymore? I watched the full game & seriously lost track of how many plays could’ve been shut down with even a slight bump. I mean coaches like Carvel (UMass) talk about getting players that couldn’t even hit a stationary object, why NCAA & NHL scouts aren’t putting pressure on these academies is crazy to me
lol You grandpas are so right. Hockey stinks when it is high scoring and fun to watch. People want to see the children hitting each other and getting hurt.
@@toadvine7952 A) There is zero doubt I’m younger than you. B) Hockey is great because it combines physicality & skill/scoring but not when it’s very unbalanced. C) hitting is part of good defense, & is a skill that should be taught & practiced just like offense. D) no one said anything about getting hurt, though injury can happen in sports. And D) many of these kids want to advance higher where knowing how to hit/take a hit is important. But no, a fool like you is surely right
@@CalgaryDynastar and you think Shattuck is more affordable? At least Shattuck is a legit private school. Only three CSSHL teams are actual private schools and not simply hockey academies.
it is clear at full speed he did not touch it but if you need to slow it down go for it, he never touched the puck prior to it corssing the line, I am not sure he ever touched it@@coltyaviation
these kids look like highschool kids maybe a little younger but i have not seen 1 person take the body especially when the other team is coming down the ice trying to break the d. they are all looking down at the puck or ice instead of keeping their heads up. They will learn soon to keep their heads up and more goals will start to come or 1 good d player will lay them out on the ice.!!!! also who ever is recording this you need to stop zooming in so close. or get someone that does this for a living to make a real for the kids to show colleges in the future. I made my video and it got me all the way to the AHL
Sorry Dave, let me get right on that I will stop zooming in and get more “professional”. Even though I have interests of teams higher up. I get it if you’re not familiar with this style of filming just say that. This is not filmed to show the whole ice surface. The one thing I agree with is the hitting aspect, there needs to be more. Watch the NHL there’s none, it’s slowly coming out of hockey. I’d love to see you “video”.
I was seriously just saying the same thing. I can’t imagine the coaches are that incompetent, it surely must be the parents paying tens of thousands demand that their kids not even get bruises
@@Max_m I mean I just think it’s experience and not being comfortable and also being able to play at a high pace. Most of the Ssm kids(assuming they’ve played in u.s) have only been hitting for a year before this since they are 2009’s I don’t know canadas situation I know they hit a lot earlier but I have seen in America a lot of kids play-styles aren’t physical because they learned always to not hit. And they have found a way to play so fast without being physical.
