Jeremy
So that’s me, Jeremy. I live in Ontario and love to play hockey. I have a full time job that I balance with playing sports (mostly hockey) and working on this site. I have played hockey since I could walk and hope to continue to play until I can not walk anymore! I am a forward and love to dangle and of course score goals.
Ken
This is Ken, he is my best friend and biggest rival on the ice (when we are playing against each other) Ken played some competitive hockey in Alberta and then moved to Ontario to go to college (where we met). Ken is a defensive specialist, has a rocket of a shot and a few nifty dangles as well. He will be adding most of the defensive articles to the site.
What is the Point of this Website?
The point of this website is to get some really solid hockey instruction, articles, drills and how to videos online. When I was growing up I never had the opportunity to just hop online and learn a new move. I was desperate to learn some good moves so I paid $100 for some stickhandling videos when I was 15 and just loved them; I watched them all the time. I realize that not every child, or parent has that type of money so I wanted to provide some great hockey tips for free. If there is anyone that you know that might want to learn about hockey please share this website with them, and if you want to learn more about hockey then just pop your email address in the box on the left and join us (if you haven’t already)
Now it is Your Turn
We have over 7000 people who follow this blog directly by email, and thousands more following on Youtube and Facebook. I would love to get your input on what you think of the site, and what you would like to see. So how about leaving a little message in the comment section below. I think your name, where you are from, what level you play, and what you would like to see more of on the site is a good start. I hope to hear from most of you, and don’t be afraid to share the site with your team mates!

Hi, i was just looking around the web, to find some stuff how to improve my hockey stop (although i’m not a hockey player) and found this, in my opinion it’s a very very helpful site and everyone can see and share your passion for hockey, greetings from Slovakia
I love you site. I’ve been playing men’s league for over 12 years now. I had to take a 3 year hiatus from skating before then while I was in the military. Your site has really kept me improving my skills and reminding me of what I should be doing on the ice. Thanks and keep it coming. In the few short weeks I’ve been reading the site I can already tell it’s helped my game.
I’m 26 and recently started playing hockey. This website has been a tremendous help from the basics of skating and shooting, to fancy deke moves and shots. With only 2 season of hockey under my belt, thanks to HowToHockey, I’m good enough to play on an intermediate level next season! Keep up the awesome tips
I started playing hockey and skating when I was 16. They put me in net for the first couple of years. I decided stopping pucks was not for me. So I played out after that realized I enjoyed it and started playing defence. I had a decent slapshot, a pretty good wrist shot. However my skating crossovers, speed and backwards skating didn’t improve much until I took some lessons with a friend. Then I stumbled on to your site with the breakdown of moves (slowmo). Wow learned more in hour then time spent with trainer. You broke down mechanics of skating backwards and also helped me understand how to pick out the proper stick.
Love the site and I will tell my buddies.
Keep shootin HIGH and in the CORNERS
This is an awesome site! I just started playing hockey a couple of years ago, so am trying to get up to speed on as many different topics as possible. The videos are especially helpful, and I really appreciate the step by step instructions. I’ve watched the backwards crossovers video at least three times and I pick up something new each time. Keep up the fantastic work!
I love this site, it has a lot of good information on everything about hockey from skating to stick handling, and lots more. I like how there are step by step instructions and everything is explained, and the videos.
This is one of the most informative sites i have ever seen. I have played all my life and still do ( i am 55) I am also a coach, i have coached Varsity, JV and also a womens O18 team, and i use a lot of your tips and videos for my players. Your instruction is simple to understand . Awesome site. Keep up the great work. john
