We've been getting a lot of requests lately to put together a video covering the fundamentals of stickhandling. In this week's video, we cover the fundamental techniques, basic practice points, and on/off-ice drills to improve your stickhandling.
Fundamentals of Stickhandling:
- Start in good hockey position: knees bent, chest & head up
- Hands just under shoulder width apart
- Stick blade flat on the ice
- Hands in front of the body
- Control the puck in the middle of the blade
- Cup the puck
- Top hand controls the blade rotation, bottom hand guides the stick
As always, if you enjoy the video or have any questions - please leave a comment below!
