In this episode Troy works with the professional ice hockey club, the Sydney Ice Dogs as well as their junior affiliate club, the Norwest Emperors. With no ice skating, let alone ice hockey experience, Troy is in for a tough session.
Will he be able to hang with the big (ice) dogs, or will this sport prove to be too tough for him? Tune in to find out.

Best sport in the world. Speed, agility, finesse, creativity, and violence all in one sport

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

It has everything, was such a cool experience and was awesome getting to actually go to one of their games

Keep it up man, it’s a tough sport to jump into without any experience, but it’ll quickly become your favorite as you progress 👍

Got me hooked already mate, I'll be back. Thanks for the encouragement

Learning to skate is like learning to swim. It is an entirely new way to learn to move if you have never done it, it looks easy if you just see other people who already know how, and it is best learned as a child

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

I definitely underestimated how tough it really is. I'm going to spend some time learning to skate and try have another crack at it with the Ice Dogs

@datsyukiansanderov7184 Месяц назад

It’s very difficult when you’re an adult. I’d compare it to learning to speak a language when you’re over 30. Good for you for getting out there! Enjoy!

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

@datsyukiansanderov7184 good comparison. Was tough out there but definitely had some fun. I'll be back.

@@datsyukiansanderov7184 Overcoming that innate fear of getting hurt is always a tough one too. As a kid, you're usually less likely to worry about hurting yourself. As an adult you're thinking "If I fall, I'm going to be sore at work for the next week".

Hockey is an awesome sport and is for everyone, It is a sport that just requires learning the basics of skating which everyone can learn from a skate marshall at a public skate session. Then from there its just repetition, eventually the balance, speed, agility etc comes, just got to put in the work just like any other sport if you want to get better at it. Good job on giving it a go!

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

Thanks for the nice comment mate. After going to my first live ice hockey game, it's got me really interested. I hate not being half decent at a sport or training style so I'll be working on my skating skills to give this sport a crack again.

I started November last year 2023 and now play in adult league mainly a mix of college, high school and other players. Obviously I am not as quick as these kids are but I have been doing well in the league. I have progressed so quickly as a 41 yo adult and it isn’t even a year (8months to be exact as of this typing) til I get to play in a league. I get to skate mostly once a week, sometimes twice during learn to play but mostly spending time in public skate. It is the fear of getting hurt the main reason we don’t try most kids would do in learn to play. I am now proudly helping local rink in their learn to play program which my 8yo (plays in AA10U) is in who also started in the same program. A piece of advice if I may, always train with a plan and purpose to be better not just skate around. Anyway, goodluck!

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

Man, what an awesome story. Good on you for giving it a crack. All the best with the competition side of it.

@beege4481 Месяц назад

Thanks! I’m pretty sure you’ll get better and better each time. You’ll surprise yourself like I did. If this video was your first time on ice (maybe 2nd or 3rd), you looked better than I did. I never get to hold a hockey stick until I decided to be with my son on ice and it felt like I had to redo all I learned about skating as there are 2 elements now that I have to be comfortable. Now adding the 3rd (the puck) is again another element to learn. You’ll get better. It’s a good exercise.

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

@beege4481 thanks mate. Yeah I've definitely been on the ice once before but I think it was about 20 years ago haha. I actually went out on the ice today with my wife and son and felt more confident. It'll come, just got to put the time in. Good luck mate.

@SirJaymesDAudelée 29 дней назад

Good for you for trying it. Canadian here, and a life long player. We start age 4-5-6. So you starting at your age, its going to be difficult. You really have to start much younger if you want to get good by the time you’re in your teens. So a lot is against you, and even so, you’re doing great. It’s all about getting those reps in. You’ll see yourself improve as you go on practicing. 9:34 BTW, you need to set that puck nearer the toe of your stick blade, lean your arm straight down on the stick to flex it…straight down beneath your head-you lean into it. Then when you let it whip, you need to kick your back leg out to catch your inertia, otherwise you might fall on your ass. Good luck, lol

@littleripper312 29 дней назад

Being good by the time you're in your teens isn't a relevant statement for almost anyone. Literally no one outside of professionals need to be good by any certain age. As a Canadian you should already know that tons of people start 40+ and are playing just fine in the beer leagues. People trying to go pro are such a outlier in the realm of hockey and are not watching this video.

@fatherfigurecoach 29 дней назад

@JaymesAudley thanks for the support. Wow, that's really cool. It's definitely not as popular here, but it seems like it's growing. The goal of my series is to try a range of sport and training modalities, as much as I'd like to be good at them all, I definitely haven't been and will continue not to be with a lot of them. This was definitely the toughest one I've done. Thanks for the tip. Take care.

@matthewm8021 23 дня назад

@@littleripper312his point is just that to be good at a young age, most people are skating from a young age. I’m 38 now, but I started on roller blades when I was 4, ice skating when I was 5 and ice hockey at 6. You’re right there are plenty of older people playing in beer leagues just fine, but if you started in your 40s you’re most likely not keeping up with someone the same age that has been playing since they were 6. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a lot of time and practice to make up for in a short period of time. Good for the people getting into it late if they never had a chance to play at a younger age.

@STARPHASE Месяц назад

I always tell people hockey is the most difficult sport in the world, just for the skating alone. There's a reason ice skating on it's own is a sport. So add in everything else with hockey, and it's not easy. The time it takes just to be able to skate well enough to play is wild.

@fatherfigurecoach Месяц назад

You're on the money mate. I'd like to think I'm okay at most sports and can compete at some level, absolutely wasn't the case for ice hockey. New found respect for these athletes

@littleripper312 29 дней назад

Ice hockey isn't something you just start doing first time on the ice 🤣 You need to practice just skating for at least 1-2 months before you bother with a hockey stick. People don't realize how hard the sport really is. It's worth the effort if you can afford to play, it's the best game out there!

@fatherfigurecoach 29 дней назад

You're absolutely right, but the point of my series is to just give things a go and have a bit of a laugh. Totally agree with you and I definitely plan on learning to skate and giving it a crack again down the track.
