Tips on better stickhandling.

 

From the youth organizations to the pro's, everyone needs to be able to control the puck gracefully if they want to be a dominant player at any level. Here is a picture of one of the best off ice tools I've encountered in my personal playing career.

This design is called "Sweethands," and for a reason; but I simply like to call it a gift from God. This invention allows players the ability to practice puck possession in as small as a 10 foot range. The cones are roughly between 6-12 inches apart depending on the version you buy, working on puck control in small areas (typically along the corner boards). But here's the trick. The cones are attached to one an other by a bridge which sends this stickhandling session into a new gear. Not only is it difficult enough to get around all of these cones successfully, but now you need to watch your stick each time you lift it. This is a perfect way to practice:
~ Corner board work
~ Open ice dekes
~ Hand-eye
~ Confidence
So go out and invest in it or better yet, build it. Everyone loves that one kid on the team with the silkiest dangles, and now that can be you.

Introduction

For my first post I want to introduce you to my main topic, Junior Hockey. This website is created for the high school and youth hockey players aspiring to play in college one day. We'll give you the best and most up to date ways to improve your game on and off the ice. What we want to accomplish in these posts is why playing Junior (also known as amateur) hockey is such a necessity in achieving college or even professional status. To make a long story short junior hockey provides the most experienced coaching staff along with over 40 league games as well as multiple scrimmages against teams in neighboring leagues. Furthermore, junior hockey is the highest possible level of competition in the sport before moving on to the collegiate game. We take the game as serious as you do, and now we're here to give back to our community.
