Delivering a Hockey Check 

I've had a PE teacher come up to me and tell me that people who play hockey are violent because they hit to hurt people .. This video shows why we hit and how much technique actually goes into hitting. Awesome video!

You are correct - it was during breast cancer awareness month. At the time of filming this, one of the parents on the team I was coaching was battling breast cancer.

My left ear had a good time

lol to separate the player from conciousness

@BabyJakerz - finishing your check should be taught after your players have become proficient in the actual checking technique. The intent of finishing your check is to gain body position and reduce the chance of the player remaining part of the play. The skill needs to be taught carefully however to prevent "late hits" and hitting just for the sake of hitting. As far as when to teach it, I'd pay more attention to proficiency than age.

@DizzyBalanceCenter - sure, feel free to post to your FB and use the video as a resource in your program. Thanks for watching!

very good video. Im learning hockey for a TV show that my friend and I are filming. Very educational for somebody that has never played before. Thanks a lot for the help!!

Another good reason to check is to take the player out of the play

this video helped me out a lot thanks for the tips

This is a great video for kids who are just learning how to hit or just starting to play checking hockey

this video helped a lot

This is a very good video. Telling that checking is to get players off of pucks only is a great thing to teach. Although, when would you start saying start finishing your checks?

Great video! Thanks.

sounds like i'm trying to check at 12 o'clock

When you were doing the 3 o clock check, both hands were on the stick. I thought that was illegal? I'm trying to learn the game lol.

I got check in the back I was not facing the ice I was facing the boards and My goalie Yelled up to me watch out and I turn around just my head all I see was my face hit the glass and I blacked out I went to the hospital I had major wipe lash and I got a concussion and I had to be off for three weeks

I'm sorry that she has to go through that. I fully support wearing pink for awareness and providing any amount of money possible to aid research to help those suffering from cancer. People shouldn't comment rudely before knowing the facts.

Here's a hockey tip: Never make fun of someone for having pink laces because chances are they are for breast cancer awareness.

Scott Stevens was the master of separating the player from the puck.

Wearing pink laces doesn't make you gay, coulda been filmed during Breast Cancer Awareness, could just be preference. Either way the video was educational and that's the point. Not attire.

also checking from behind will earn you a penalty p

A little late but cool vid

cool i play contact rep

theres no sound

That's not the purpose the purpose is to absolute wipe Sum1 out who slashed ur new stick

maybe because there isnt any fucking sound
