Hi Guys, I’m from Delft near Rotterdam in Holland .Thanks for the info on your website. I’m 44 and just starting hockey for a local rec team.
The difficulty is that when you start you’ve got to learn te stickhandle and ice skating at the same time, but thanks to the video’s i learn a lot. Perfectly explained by Jeremy.
keep up the good work
greetings Rob Herman

Great site! I picked up hockey in January of 2011 at the age of 39. This website has been a fantastic resource for me from the videos to the articles. I was completely starting from scratch and articles like the roles of the different positions were extremely helpful in helping me figure out the basics of where I should be and what I should be doing on the ice. I continue to visit the web site once every couple of weeks, re-reading articles and watching videos. Thanks for all the help. Love the cheat sheet.

Hey I’m Jordan and I’m from Montreal. I’ve never played organized hockey before, but I’m going to join the Midget B team next year. I want to be a defenseman so I would really appreciate some videos and articles on how to play good defense or improving the slapshot power or even how to score from the blue line. Hopefully my comment helps improve this site!

I’m from Prince George B.C. Canada, and I play rec C division hockey. This site has given me EXACTLY the information that I need to really improve and move forward in skill and technique. Thank you very much for creating this site. I could never go to hockey school, and this teaches me what I can’t figure out by myself, (A lot when it comes to technique).

Howdy ;D I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario a town just north of Toronto I’m currently 16 and I recently just started playing hockey. So far I barely got any ice time since you have to pay and I don’t really have a lot of money.. I don’t have much hobbies and don’t play a lot of other sports but hockey.. hockey is what I am most interested in out of everything and really would like to learn the ways of the puck I’m not going into being pro (i dont have all the gear like shoulder pads stuff like that, just skates, helmet, gloves, and the good old hockey stick) but at least work on my skills time to time is fine and your website and especially your videos on youtube has been very helpful in getting to where I am aiming for. The tips you give are super effective and hope you make a lot more videos in the future. So far I’ve been practicing a whole load of stick handling and playing street hockey with my neighbour and I hope to transfer all those skills onto the ice whenever I get the chance!
Thank you so much for all your help and the dedication you put in to help others.

Good day! I just signed up and here is a little about me. I live in a small town outside Pittsburgh Pa (USA). I am a huge fan of hockey… obviously the Penguins. I myself don not play ice hockey since I am sort of a “late bloomer” I guess. I have been playing in an “Over 40″ dek hockey league for about a year and my only experience prior to that was pick up games of street hockey growing up. Growing up I didn’t have the oppurtunity to learn to ice skate really and hockey wasn’t really that big of a thing back then. Also there were some family health issues that got in the way. Life happens… it’s all good. Anyway, I starteed playing pick up games at 38 as a goalie due to the need for two and we only had one “real” goalie. I enjoyed it but wasn’t the best at it. Then I recently started playing at a local dek in the over 40 league as a defensemen on a team with of all people, Alain Lemiuex, brother of Mario. He is a really cool guy and actually has had a clinic or two for kids down at the dek. I recently have giving a little bit of winger a try too. I don’t have that great of a shot so I was looking for things to help. I was looking for hockey mats to protect my stick while trying to improve my slap / wrist shot, and eventually saw your review(s) and bought one, actually 10 minutes ago, and the passer attachment and some pucks. I will try shooting both balls and pucks, I know there will be a difference but the mechanics should be the same / close enough… right? My 11 year old son is going to be using it too. I know there is a difference between dek and ice (a big one) but so far you guys are the best site I found for info and ideas for improving my game and my son’s (who hopefully will get interested in playing ice). Maybe at some point you could add a little section on playing dek or street hockey and some tips and equipment. I’ll get you started with the D-Gel broomball shoes. (No I don’t work for them.) They are great to wear on an outdoor deck in the snow and rain when the dek gets as “slippy” (Pittsburgh -ese for slippery) as ice.
Anyway I really like your site and hope you are willing to welcome an old dek player to your Ice site

Hey, my name is Jeffrey, and my son Ayden is playing Mite ADM for North Olmsted Hockey Club in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a first generation hockey player that decided he wanted to be a professional hockey player before he ever put on skates. I never played and it was making me feel bad that I couldn’t help him improve because he’s already better than me. Your videos are a huge help as he and I can watch your great videos and learn proper techniques together. Thank you for all you passion and dedication.
