Want to learn how to pass like an elite NHLer? In this intro video, we'll cover the most basic passing technique, a semi-advanced method, and a couple of unique and effective oddball passes.
Starting with the basics, the flat pass is the simplest way to distribute the puck. You just pass it directly to your teammate without much complexity. Since there are countless videos on this topic already, we won't dwell on it for long. Now, let's move on to the next technique.
The saucer pass comes in handy when there's an obstacle in your way, such as an opponent's stick. To execute this pass, you'll need to lift the puck from heel to toe, creating a ramp-like motion with your stick. The saucer pass has become quite common, so we won't delve too deep into it.
Next up, we have two oddball passes that may be considered more exotic but are still valuable if practiced well. The first one is the hook pass, which allows you to reach around obstacles instead of saucering over them. If you've seen floorball or similar sports, you'll know how useful this technique can be. To perform a hook pass, start at your heel and roll your toe, creating a hook-like motion with your stick. Then, utilize the momentum from heel to toe to make the pass around the obstacle. This is similar to the Crosby curl mechanic taught in our Precise Puck Control course but applied to passing instead.
The second oddball pass is a funny story that happened during the lockout when the Canucks practiced with us. One of the players unintentionally made a pass that was six feet in the air but landed perfectly on my stick, resulting in a goal. We named this pass the "Sedin purposeless pass." While it's not something you would intentionally do, it demonstrates that sometimes getting the puck to its destination, even in a rolling or bouncing manner, is more important than having a flat pass. It's akin to kicking a ball forward in soccer for someone to run onto. Sometimes you just need to get the puck there, regardless of how it arrives.
So, those are the four ways to pass in hockey. If you're eager to improve your passing skills, our Precise Puck Control program is the perfect resource. This comprehensive course covers techniques like the Crosby curl, vectoring (moving the puck with quick touches), and the intricate details of connecting your stick blade with the puck. We provide a systematic training approach and a language to dissect these skills. You can find this course in our Train 2.0 Plus Membership, where we break down the exact how-to of these skills.
We hope you found this tutorial helpful and learned something new today. Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for our next video, which might cover more content from our Precise Puck Control course. See you soon!
