Ice Hockey Stick Handling Drills
Hockey Development – Ice Hockey Training Tips
What is ice hockey? Well, it is a game that is played on an ice rink by two teams of six players on skates. The object is to drive a puck (a small, hard rubber disk) into the opponents’ goal with a hockey stick, thus scoring one point. A game consists of three 20-minute periods. It is a very aggressive game, and the puck is often taken from a player by means of a hit to the body, called a check. Here, now, are some ice hockey training tips.

Tip number one: Receive a pass with your hands out front to cushion the puck. Tip number two: Keep your body between the player who is trying to check you and the puck. Turn the opposite direction from where you feel the pressure.
Tip number three: For stick handling, keep your bottom hand half way down your stick. Keep the puck cupped in the middle of your blade. Keep the puck close to your body, but not too close that it will force you to keep your head down. Keep your head up. Tip number four: Roll your wrists to cup the cup on your stick, so the puck doesn’t roll off your blade.
Tip number five: For the slapshot, remember to bend your knees to get low. Keep in mind that most of your strength comes from your legs and lower body. Drop your bottom hand low on the stick, and really lean into the shot. Hit the ice a couple inches or so behind the puck, and then hit the ice further back on a one-timer. Keep your head up so you can aim your shot. Start with a low back-swing to get the shot off quick. Transfer your weight towards the target. Keep your stick low on the follow through, pointing your stick at the target.
These are just some ice hockey training tips.
