Are you new to hockey? If you want to start watching hockey, but you don’t exactly understand what’s happening on the ice, or what everything even is, then this video is for you! Hockey is an amazing sport, but without some context, it’s easy to get lost in the speed of the game. In this video we’ll talk about everything you need to know before you watch your first game.
In this video we’ll be talking about all the things that you see when you turn on the tv, or first sit down in the stands. First we’ll go over the arena, then we’ll talk about the personnel running the game, and finally we’ll go over the composition of a hockey team.

@ansioh Thanks so much for the kind words! I tried to create a female character, but I just couldn't get it quite right. I'll keep trying though. As for more diversity with the players, that is a fantastic idea! For this video, I just copied and pasted the same player model, but in the next ones, I'll take time to make sure that we have a more accurate representation. Thanks again for the feedback :)

It would be cool if you could do a series on Volleyball, both on the court and on the beach. There are many tactics that are hard to understand with the positions switching in and out and strategies.

@BenchWormSports Год назад

@@endoraroberts awesome idea! Would definitely like to take a look at volleyball this year.

@encycl07pedia- Год назад

This was an amazing tutorial. Really. I've been watching hockey for a little less than a year and picked up on a lot of the in-game stuff, but I didn't really know what a defenseman was (I basically thought they were players more skilled at defense instead of offense, but they're an actual position), or what most of the zones meant. Most of the stuff I knew was from The Mighty Ducks, but other than line change, it didn't really explain the rules all that well. It doesn't seem like "fighting" is really enforced in the NHL, though.

This is really helpful. My wife recently started playing hockey and I’m at the point where I have lots of questions about the game while spectating. Your videos explain everything so clearly and take away a lot of the confusion. It’s such a fun and exciting sport and it’s the first time in my life I’ve actually cared about the rules of a sport I wasn’t actively playing 😂

@UFCMania155 2 месяца назад

I’m canadian…I’m 28 but I’ve been watching hockey for over 20 years and it, along with soccer, is one of the easiest sports to understand lol….the only thing that might be hard to sometimes understand are the penalties and offsides (which is when the player crosses the offensive blue line before the puck does) but other than that, it’s a really easy sport to understand lol

@qbrock2622 Год назад

Also (if you didn’t mention it) the blue lines are used for ‘off sides’ or ‘on side’. To be off side that means that a player is in the offensive area before the puck. That means that the player is in the zone then he or she touches the puck. They will then use the other face off points in the neutral zone.

@jonathanallard2128 Год назад

This and the referees job could've been summed up too.

@Bornearth75 Год назад

I just watched all of your videos, they’re great! The graphics along with the clear explanation really helped me understand. Please do more.

Great job.

@aaron28175 Год назад

An offside is basically where your skating really fast, and you get into the other offensive or neutral zone before the puck is going and gets there. Also, it can also be when you move out of the zone the puck is in, and go back in in a short amount of time. That will cause the refs to call an offsides play and a new draw will be done.

An interest in watching ice hockey can strike at any age. I saw my first ice hockey game in person less than two weeks ago. Now I am a fan; I would qualify for senior tickets if they are offered. Last year I moved to where the SPHL team Rail Yard Dawgs resides, but I didn't even know there was a hockey team until the Dawgs won their league's championship, the President's Cup. Our neighbors offered guest tickets and transportation to the last home game this year. My husband didn't have a bad time, but I had a great time! I attended my next game solo, and he has agreed to accompany me to the first game of Round 2 in this year's playoffs.

I miss the enforcer days. Probert dropping gloves was always entertaining. Hockey isn't big in Australia but I trained under a coach who played for Calgary. The league isnt as fast paced as the NHL and checking rarely happens.

@harryballz9486 Год назад

Fun fact. Hockey is the only sport where you can change players at any time even when the play is still going on

@CodeNameV13 11 месяцев назад

Australian rules football does interchange whilst the ball is in play. The only time a ref stops play is if a player is injured and has to be taken off on a stretcher.

@wislarstud 2 года назад

Also kudos for mentioning the zamboni drivers, ice cleaners and mascots! xD 🏒

@BenchWormSports 2 года назад

Awesome question! The lines aren't set in stone, but if the team is having a good game, it's not likely that the coach will switch up the line combinations. If a team is struggling, you may see the coach make adjustments and move around players, forming new line combinations. Sometimes you'll hear a commentator refer to this as "putting lines through a blender". I also didn't touch on special teams in this video - teams have different lines when they're on the powerplay and penalty kill. I'll make sure to get to that in a future video.

@9The0Unknown7 Год назад

Need to make an advanced intro to hockey, that way you can mention the Zamboni driver being the alternate goalie! Then a pro into and try to explain offsides and cross checking.
