Was always told both hands so that you don't flail around with one hand on the stick if you trip or get hit so it didn't swing around and nail some random other person
Two hands on your stick. Trust me, kids play too much hockey during games with one hand on their stick. No one needs to coach when you should only use one hand on the stick. It comes naturally.
Totally agree. Having two hands on the stick most of the time is important, but should not be as you can't use just one hand. It creates a block on top of your head and actually you are not training one hand stick handle so keeping weak with one hand when actually at defending you'll need to train strength to poke with one hand or control puck when covering it.
I think most coaches teach 2 hands on stick for developmental purposes, then as the player gets more developed the player can challenge themselves by doing 1 hand on stick during certain situations.
I totally agree with everything you said. There are certainly situations where it’s advantageous to have one hand on your stick. I harp on a few of my Bantam players when they have one hand on their stick and it would be to their advantage to have two!
The two handed rocker waving his stick side to side as he “speeds” down the ice, is a high sticking hazard to any player next to him💀… just one hand is necessary for chasing the play.
I miss being a lil kid watching your videos after getting dog walked in pick ups at highpark fr😭😭 Taught me a lot, happy to see you’re still at it going strong
It’s because you’d think the puck was a cement brick. Two hands on the stick when you don’t have the puck so they can catch passes and be better involved situationally driving to the net
Two hands and stick control is always taught first. The first 1 hand skill I teach is acceleration with the puck. It adds so much speed to their first few steps. It can be taught at any age as long as they have decent skating and puck control. Sometimes that’s as early as 5.
When: when they’re Strong enough to handle the stick that way I guess. That’s why you teach kids two hands on the stick at first, because otherwise they can’t put pressure on it or the puck 😊
good video coach, sure NHL forwards switch one to two, but I hope the NHL blue-liners watch this video because sometimes it looks like the D have their sticks glued to their gloves....I think they do it so they are ready to crosscheck - lol
The coaches r teaching young players who aren’t nhl levle whor not that strong nad confident yet the one hand acceleration comes with age And experience
Absolutely. I start teaching the basics without pucks. Simple one hand acceleration, two hand for tight turns, always teaching to control the stick. For puck control I start with two hands, but it doesn’t take long to get to the one hand acceleration with the puck. If you watch the Brick tournament highlights you’ll see many examples of strong 1 hand and two hand switches from 9 year olds.
Охренеть пример привел, девчонка против Кросби, и он не один в один пытается обыграть, а повернулся задом и корпусом не дает себя обойти, а после еще и держит её клюшку... второй пример 🤦🏼♂️ используется скорость и что бы расшатать защитника используется одна рука, что бы уйти по борту от защитника, Каспарайтис и Стивенс не клюнули на такое...!!! 🤦🏼♂️ Две руки нужны что бы отдать точный пас, сделать бросок, это база хоккея... одной рукой ты не представляешь угрозу воротам, не отдашь точный сильный пас... одной рукой это лишь скилл дриблинга, для того что бы раскачать защитника, или что бы обыграть вратаря один в один, или прикрывая корпусом обойти защитника по дуге и он не дотянулся до шайбы, но черт побери я сыграю в тело и ты шайбу потеряешь на раз, так как я при защите не смотрю на шайбу а смотрю в солнечное сплетение и периферийным зрением вижу и лицо и плечи... п.с. учитесь играть клюшкой в двух руках, а владение одной лишь дополнительный бонус к скиллу обыгрыша не более... Угрозы воротам практически нет если с против вас играет однорукий... ☝️
I believe you should teach two hands on the stick AND 1 hand in the appropriate situations. I've coached for over 15 years and have had a lot of success teaching the right time to have 2 hands, and the right time to use 1. Watch the Brick tournament highlights of the best 9 year olds. The are using 1 hand at certain times to get an advantage and effortlessly transitioning back to two hands.
