ktang 34 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 Anyone do his camps this summer?My son did his camp this summer. I didn't see much of it, except for some instructors yelling at his group ("Hustle!", "Hard work is fun!"), but he's been inspired to practice his stickhandling. I saw him instructing a younger group on-ice, and he took the time to help the younger ones who were having trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at how much he keeps his head down.I don't think it really matters that he keeps his head down, he's showing you stickhandling exercises, I watched some of them recently and just remember if you play in a league with zero tolerance alot of his tips for tying players up will get you 2mins very fast these days.

DarkStar50 679 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 His hands are amazing but pay attention to how often he touches the puck. A lot of times it is his blade tapping the ice on either the side of the puck that draws the defender to commit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booyaagrandma 4 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 The guy has skills thats for sure but most of it is useless in a game situation to us mere mortals .What is funny is how many times have you played against players who try to emulate a guy like this in a game situation ( all flash and yes ,far too much 'head down puck watching ' )can't quite pull it off and they are usually the easiest to strip of the puck ? imo I would put more emphasis on heads up game play ( skating, passing ,vision of the ice etc. ) for younger players ? I've always enjoyed watching a well executed tic-tac-toe play heading up the ice ,with all the team involved in the play from the goalie getting the puck from behind the net ,up to the D, then the long stretch pass to the center streaking through the neutral zone , sweet drop pass to the winger , head to the net and 'BOOM' biscuit in the basket.Having said that, it is still a lot of fun to watch the Jagrs and Bures and Ovechkins of the world work their magic single handed from time to time too.Excuse my rambling ,really fun to watch and fair play to him, just my 2c worth.

Guitarmy 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 ^That's true, I noticed that about him too.I borrowed the dvds from a friend, some of the moves are very useful and I found it helpful with the way he broke it down and described specific game situations where that move can be applied.Some of those extremely flashy moves can be fun to practice and try, but the chances of pulling it off in a game situation is pretty low.
