I did these moves on my buddy who is in the NHL. After I burned him with all five moves he said to me, "That's not fair because all of those moves are impossible to defend against." This RU-vid video changed my life.
Most players don't have tons of ice time to work on this stuff but you have UNLIMITED off-ice time. We want more players working on specific skill training off-ice and not using a lack of ice time as an excuse. So, it may be better demonstrated on the ice but that's not how it's intended to be used.
Nah, we'll stick with impossible. Just because you are watching the chest doesn't mean you will be able to defend it. These are drill designed to create time and space even when the defender is playing you correctly.
Agree fully with 247 Hockey. There's a great video of Darryl Belfry working with Patrick Kane where he says, "we're going to work on making a move from the defender's best possible position. If you can beat the D from his best possible decision, you can succeed with anything less optimal." These moves will create time and space.
I am D, but I take the puck up a lot. Not only has this helped to make me a better d, but it has also helped me in my rushes. Maybe a video on how best to defend against these moves?
Thanks for this video. I’m not a player but I’ve always wanted to understand more about the moves in the game . I had to actually slow the video down so I could catch everything. Thank you, this will help in my enjoyment of watching these athletes perform.
on #2 if you're quick enough you can pass the puck between your legs. Against a not quite mobile defenseman it usually works well. Even if they're quick they try to catch you and then you back off and you have a great angle for a pass
These, are really impossible to defend I play center so this is helpful, I always try to go through the legs and than sprint for the puck and try to get a break away but sometimes it doesn't work these deke strategy's really helped me thanks!
Great video! As a suggestion, you should film each move with the camera behind you. That way it will make it easier to understand the left / right lateral movement.
Try them for fun but if your friends are any good, they most likely won't work more than once or so. Basically, you're better off getting a real coach to explain stuff. There's a reason you only see the best danglers in the world (McDavid, Giroux, Kane, Gaudreau, and so on) able to do anything like these moves. They are what a coach will call a low percentage move. You're better off trying to get a shot passed them by changing your shot angle and always going for the open ice. And, if you do want to fake out a d, use your hips and shoulders more than puck movement. And good d will be watching your chest. Not the puck.
As a defenceman, the 1st one won’t always work, especially on a good d, as he would wait to be in front of the body, same with the second, if you take too long, he could lay you out in open ice, but other than that it’s a good move, as you said, pokechecks are a thing so if his stick is in the way of yours, lift up your stick, this one, he can lay you out if you don’t get out of the way after.
A lot of people seem interested in offseason training videos. Could you make a video that describes a good summer routine (including frequency and timing of training) and how to spread it out throughout the day?
The offseason is almost here. How about more of your great off-ice training with rollerblades? For fitness, how about short intensive real-time circuit training workouts?
I'm on Minnesota special Olympics floor hocky I used a move if my own a sudden side jump the defense had no chance and I scored easily also thanks for the good tips as fast as I run o doubt average players are going to have a chance
Love it. Zach do you have any tips on shooting under pressure. I have a good shot and good hands but I always end up gliding in the offensive zone and shooting on the D in front of me or directly in the goalie's belly!!! How can I practice shooting under pressure off the ice ?
Man ALL these drills are exactly for you. That's the point of this video to create time/space and shooting lanes! Work on these moves. Shoot quicker and use 5 pucks. All 5 pucks at one target then repeat that for all 4 targets and repeat that for each drill. There are no shortcuts brother you got to put the work in. I am GIVING you the recipe but I can't make the food for you.
Sometimes it's better to do a fake shot. Then move in and do a wrist shot, can do a fake slap shot, pull back a fake pass then a wrist shot or saucer shot.
Well this would be GREAT for me if my school used a puck for floor hockey but we just use a ball and the ball rolls on and on making it harder (for me)
I wish I can play hockey again It’s been 4-5 years how long do you think it’ll take to get good again or great and I was pretty good back then I hope you respond bro
I play d and I watch the chest. Especially with that last one I would easily maybe start to cheap for the fake but then I’d cross over and hip check the player as they attempted to pass. I’ve done it before and I’ll gladly do it again. It’s also easy to make a forward that’s not as aware do what I want by faking like I’m going to cut them off for example and then as soon as they try to cut in front I anticipate that and hit them or get a solid poke check and head the other way.
Love how all the D here are so positive they would defend these moves every time. I get it, it's easy to write down exactly how you would play the move. Different to actually do it.
I find myself getting really fatigued in my legs in the second hour usually with recreational playing. Usually I lose all my energy when trying to defend someone, all that stopping and starting really kills me. Any tips on how to boost my endurance for the last quarters of the game
