Hockey Sauce Kit Review

May 26, 2016 Hockey Blogs No Comments

Luckily we have beaches, and parks, and camping, but there aren’t any hockey rinks there! Thanks to the Hockey Sauce […]

Summer Stickhandling Drills with Marsblade

May 11, 2016 Hockey Blogs No Comments

Two hockey skills that are easy to practice over the summer are stickhandling and shooting. All you need is a smooth surface and a net, and you’re good to go! The only issue with off-ice stickhandling is the lack of movement. On the ice we’re constantly skating, gliding, turning and moving. The only way to […]

Summer Inline Skating Drills with Marsblade

May 11, 2016 Hockey Blogs No Comments

As a young hockey players I was always looking for ways to work on my skills in the summer. One summer I bought a pair of roller blades and was excited at the similarities to skating on the ice (until I tried a full speed hockey stop, ouch). Besides not being able to stop, I […]

Playoffs Are All That Matter

Eric characture cropped colorby Eric Miller

It’s only an eight game schedule but my body thinks otherwise—the season feels like 80 games.  My legs burn with each stride while my lungs gasp for more air than a carburetor.  But we’re in the playoffs and complaining is for sissies.  Everybody’s whipped, even our rivals, and it’s time to separate the wheat from the chaff.  Lose two games and we’re out until September.  No one wants to hang up their skates in early May. … Continue Reading

A few years ago I was working at a hockey camp with Dennis Maruk (former 50 goal scorer and NHL all-star) and we were ending the camp with a scrimmage. One of the students playing defense rimmed the puck a few times to move it up ice to the wingers. I didn’t think much of […]

Bobby Ryan VS Beer Leaguers

April 18, 2016 Hockey Blogs No Comments

Sometimes it’s fun to pretend. If you grew up playing hockey and ended up in the beer leagues the thought has probably crossed your mind “I wonder how much better those NHL’ers actually are” or “I bet if I practiced a little more I could have made it”. Well, now we finally have a comparison […]

Beer Leaguers try Chara’s Stick

April 12, 2016 Hockey Blogs No Comments

A couple of months ago I was browsing Pro Stock Hockey and saw that they had a Zdeno Chara hockey stick up for grabs. At 69″ long (from butt end to heel) it’s the longest, and possibly most unique hockey stick out there. Standing up straight it measures 77″ and is a ridiculous 150 flex. […]
