Short vid of Hamilton Bulldog's goalie Cedrick Desjardins and defenceman PK Subban going through their pre-game ritual. Subban has been doing the stick thing for years and does it for 15-20 minutes before every game.

Yes. Just some extra footage I had that was kind of neat.

What kind of ball is PK using? One of those wooden ones?

Yes. I should have asked him what he was listening to so I can listen to it and get just as skilled

Sick, great work!

Nice, I just found the thread on the Hamilton equipment manager. Keep the videos coming.

Nice work. Where is PK working out, back in the "Fun Zone" area?

[dsjunior1388 81]

Wow, and I thought PK's scissor skating video was impressive. That is a commercial waiting to happen.

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

good stuff!

Looking forward to more vids

Yep. It's amazing that he hardly gets noticed in that corner despite the "clack,clack" of his stick.

That was fabulous. The PK segment had such neat lighting, it looked like a reel from a Nike commercial.

For those who might be wondering why Desjardins was throwing the lacrosse ball underhand at the wall, he was doing it to put as much backspin on it as possible, so it would 'jump' unpredictably off the wall. Were I his goalie coach, I'd be slapping him around for about four different things in that video; on the other hand, knowing full well how ridiculous it is to criticise a pro's play, let alone his warmup, from an armchair, I'll only say that his hand speed is remarkable.

One possibility in the future might be to shoot these (or part of them) from a 'security camera' perspective, eg. to stand on a table and aim down over top. I love the shots that were framed low and far back, especially in the PK segment.

thanks for the video!

gotta love PK - nice stuff! But I'm curious why is that he kept his head down all the time? :)

That PK Sequence just reminds me of just how damn good these guys are, even the ones we think of as scrubs.

And now, with my hopes suitably crushed, I can start the day.

I like videos like this because it gives me something to respond with when I get crap over "juggling" my smarthockey ball. B)

juggling is awesome. just started doing it with a tennis ball on the outdoor rink. the kids dont get it, but Ive probably made more progress with my stickhandling in the last month than in the last 2 years combined.
