Beginner Learning Hockey VideosBack in the 70’s Howie Meeker had a great show on CBC teaching kids how to play hockey. Famous Howie-isms like “Golly gee-whiz!” and “Pass the cotton pickin' puck!" in his patented squeaky voice and classic Canadian accent are still imitated dressing rooms today.

The 'Gap' is the distance between a defnseman and an incoming forward. When playing defense, it's important to control the Gap. Judging the amount of gap to leave is not easy, especially if the forward is a faster skater than you.A Gap too wide will allow the forward to cut to the inside and take a clean shot on net.A Gap too narrow, and you run the risk of letting the forward by you with room

Passing Hockey Tip Making a crisp, tape-to tape pass along the ice feels great. Passing is a huge part of the game, so when you pass the puck, it’s tempting to watch and make sure your team-mate receives the puck. If he scores as a result of your pass, you get an assist. Mission accomplished!For Example:Let’s say you’re playing wing and you’re deep in the corner of the offensive zone. You win the

Equipment Hockey Tip: Blade TapeSanta must have put me on the nice list in 2007. In my stocking I received a pair of Blade Tapes for my stick. If you’ve never seen these, you simply peel ‘n’ stick the thin rubber material to both sides of your stick blade instead of tape. The Blade Tape seems to provide a little more cushioning on my composite stick and better grip for the puck than tape does.
