Stickhandling 101 – Video
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!

Excellentes idées et très bien démontré.

Great stuff Kevin!
The information on why you should keep the hands in front of the body instead of the side as well as the width on holding the stick is something I never paid attention to.
Thanks for the tips
