Hockey Shots : Ice Hockey Dekes

In hockey, a deke is used to elude an opponent through the element of surprise. Practice dekes and fakes in hockey with tips from an ice hockey coach in this ...

How hard as in how tough physically on your body, or in skills like shooting, skating, and dekes? Either way I'd give both aspectes a 10, but then again the same could be said for every sport. ex. You can take a slap shot, but are you doing it correctly? Just remember to always give it your all on every shift. Even if you're completely exhausted push yourself beyond your limit, this will help you become better, and increase endurance (not to mention impress the coach hehe)

Nigel Watkins commented on 27 Feb 2009

It looks like they just picked a random hockey player and said, "show us some dekes." he didn't look very prepared at all. besides that though, he was obviously going slow purposefully and the goalie bit on the fakes on purpose. also, these are beginner videos, so you NHL players dont have to comment on how basic they are.

InfinitePlayz commented on 10 Apr 2009

Wow, do all you people realize that hes not trying, its called an example. And instead of sitting at home flaming this guy, he providing tips for people who don't know very much of this stuff. And I doubt the people who comment negitive on this dont even know how to skate let alone deke.

MrIntervenes commented on 21 May 2011

Fucker. Im 12 years old and I even know thats not the Datsyuk deke. Datsyuk deke is fake shot to the Left/right (depending on your Hand) Then push puck backwards, forwards, backwards as you go to the right/left (again depending on your hand) then shooting it in the wideopen net.

Yung FiveSpot commented on 30 Oct 2009

in a real game, deking around defenceman behind the net is extremely hard. if u can do it then props to u, but i doubt that many people could do the behind the net stuff from this video WHILE deking out the defencemen

AllNatural1625 commented on 02 Jul 2009

Who the fuck goes behind the net just to try a wrap-around? This guy probably gets fucked up all the time. He's old enough to be at the junior level but I dont see him lasting longer than 5 seconds in a juniors game.

David Motyka commented on 11 Apr 2009

your totally right am on your side ( people cant say negative comments when someone is trying to teach the ones that are maybe not so good at this and trying to start and have fun with this sport...)

Keith Roylance commented on 27 Jul 2009

Duh, he is not dekeing at full speed, so obviously if he is going half speed to demo the different dekes, and the goalie is moving around at normal speed, the goalie would block all his shots. Duh.

Yung FiveSpot commented on 28 Oct 2009

dude i was talking bout the wrap around. the wrap around had nothin to do with deking and the defence would most definitely not let u get a shot off unless its like squirt house league or something

thescrounger1 commented on 16 Jan 2009

The Datsyuk deke requires that you fake the forehand, pull it back to your forehand with the backhand side of the blade and shoot forehand. This guy just fakes backhand and shoots forehand.

wendel88 commented on 11 Oct 2008

no not shit and yes datsuyk uses that deke. its one of his favorites. check some video before talking shit man. and at full speed yes those dekes will give you a goal.

zargon220 commented on 11 Dec 2010

and i repeat -they're accually a lot of fun...... NO WAY DUDE it's FUN to tacle a defense man on the other team that has the puck tackle him slap shot..... SCOOOORE

I wasn't talking about taking a shot I was saying stick handling uses all the top hand. Think about why people want shorter cuffs on their top hand and a longer cuff on your bottom hand, the cuff just gets in the way. You need mobility with your top hand. Obviously taking a slap shot takes the bottom hand because you have to put weight on it. I mean whatever works for people is fine. That is what the guy at my work told me and I work in the largest hockey store in New England.

Daniel Sacks commented on 03 Jun 2009

dude...really? i mean it depends on preference but by using ur top hand ur carrying the weight of the whole stick rather than half the stick er less. u also get less control. think about a slap shot...if u used ur top hand u would hit the ice and ur stick would bounce right back up...much more precision, control, & power w/ bottom hand

btbbuilder commented on 29 Apr 2010

@sainthubbins1982 Thats Funny and Very True, When I started playing I played with some great guys, They Slaughtered me in the Neutral Zone, Got knocked out 5 times in 3 months. I could always play Very Well but when you play against Real hockey players you better keep your head up

Camhockey1114 commented on 26 Dec 2008

actually stick handling is all of your top hand. you can leave your bottom hand loose. bottom hand just keeps the stick in place. the top hand is everything

HOCK3YPL4Y455 commented on 12 Sep 2010

people that need to watch this video need to quit hockey right away cause this guy has downs. lol ;)

xCraYoNz commented on 23 Jan 2009

it's not really, i find that i can move the puck faster, i use the top hand to hold in place.

krabz commented on 17 Oct 2010

This guy says - Dont stare at the puck, bet he does it all the time.

btbbuilder commented on 29 Apr 2010

I wouls say that it is Important to Step up into the player, Chances are with higher level players they are going to Own you if you dont step up and take their body. I coach High School Hockey, some players are very good and the'd just skate around the D if we tried that on them

LzbProductionsLzb commented on 03 Mar 2013

so you would like inexperienced kids to get injured? Ya sure if it was AAA hockey or Even Single A Hockey but not houseleague though. As you advance your way up Hitting should be allowed but not if its houseleague :p

Robertas Tamo commented on 14 May 2009

It's a freakin' demo for 8 yr olds to understand the poke check itself, what would be the point of getting a guy whose doing dekes like in the nhl?

His technique is TERRIBLE! Brett Hull must be spinning in his grave! But seriously, 1) he's not extending his hands/arms outside of his body enough, 2) too slow motion/ follow through, trying to shoot hard instead of a quick, deceptive release, 3) missing the net from so close in indicates pisspoor technique. If I had a working cam, I'd make a video on it grrr

skangmox commented on 28 Sep 2009

Awesome question. Hitting the corners is a goal but better yet aim for where the goalie isn't. look at where you want the puck to go. look for the net not for the goalie. Think of it as throwing a ball you dont look at your hand you look at your target. practice at home in the drive way or the garage or where evr you can. You'll get it

nhlmike26 commented on 29 Nov 2008

you guys are idiots he is showing you a snap shot at full speed as he said from the begining hes going to be showing snap shots taking from quick passes so he is showing a snap shot at full speed your suppose to make it like hes waiting for a pass and shooting a quick snap shot!

Ike Machover commented on 28 Sep 2009

how do u do that? i thought he was doing it correctly.. some1 said he's pulling the stick too far back, on my wrist shot i like to pull it back from about where he is so how can i do a snap shot then? u snap it on the release?

GregreTube commented on 05 Jul 2009

That guy got a great power in his shot, but as I heard from my coach: Power means nothing if YOU DON'T HIT THE NET, if you know what I mean (LEARN TO AIM MAN).

Sheldon Farley commented on 11 Jun 2009

Hahaha true that, he missed the net about 5 or 6 times. But nobody hits the net everytime, so I'll definetly give him that much.

Lewiegroh1 commented on 26 Feb 2009

that's not how i've seen people do snap shots. plus out of the near 15 shots the guy took he made one goal haha. he's a pro.

Ike Machover commented on 28 Sep 2009

really?? im not that good but what if the goalie is huge u try to hit the corners? how do u aim better on ur snap shot?

ssssssspps commented on 14 Jul 2009

macfahad commented on 06 Jul 2011

so.. when puck handling.. use two hands.. but without a puck and skating use one hand.. so dont use one hand while skating with the puck, knowing well you ill be skating much faster and if you have arm strings and have gotten puck handeling down, you can maneuver around defenders and easily beat them with your built up speed. But as you said.. puck = two hands.. no puck = one hand... I hope all my hockey opponents watch this video ...

Nico Coughlin commented on 29 Dec 2008

This is pretty useless.. and he just keeps on repeating stuff. You should use 1 hand or 2 hand depending on the situation. Good players know that.

If you are right-handed and have your dominant hand on top, you are most likely a left-handed hockey player. If you are left-handed and have your dominant hand on top, you are a right-handed hockey player. However, if you are right handed and have your dominant hand in the middle, you are a right handed player and visa versa for left-handed people. All personal choice and what makes you comfortable holding a stick. They say dominant hand on top is better for stability when it comes to hooking etc.

Laura Deth commented on 25 Apr 2014

I'm left-handed and I use a right handed stick - it feels weird and unstable to use my left hand on the middle of the stick. Rule of thumb is dominant hand on top, however, overall it's down to personal choice.
