Hey guys, I get a lot of emails asking me about hockey training, workouts, nutrition and so on. I usually recommend the book complete conditioning for hockey.

A few months back I was sent a few slideboards to use and review. I tested out a few of them and did a full review on another website that I have been adding reviews to, but I did not want to add the review to How To Hockey until I had a good grasp [...]

This is one of my favourite dekes to pull on the defencemen when I am in a one on one situation and the D is matching my speed. If I have speed on the D I will usually pull a simple fake like I have shown in the previous dekes, but if the defencemen is [...]

If you ever wanted a solid go-to move to break out of your own end, well…here it is. I use this move on a regular basis and it is pretty much fool proof. There is nothing super fancy about this move, but it is very effective and can result in a breakaway in some circumstances. [...]

Last week we all learned about the single deke which involves a simple fake to one side, and then beating the player on the other side. Sometimes the player does not bite on your first fake, so you might need to toss in a second one, that is where the double deke comes in! In [...]

In the third edition of the deke of the week I am going to be talking about fakes. In my opinion a fake is not the same as a deke, but you can use fakes in your dekes. A “fake” is just a slight, or subtle movement that might freeze the opposing player for a [...]
