The AI Beer League Hockey Training Experiment 2.0
Can AI actually help you become a better beer league player?
In this episode of the Beer Leaguer podcast, we revisit the idea of using AI for hockey advice. Last time, it was ChatGPT, this time, we put Claude through the same kind of beer league hockey questions and see whether the answers have gotten better, more practical, or just weirder.

One
of
the
biggest
things
going
on,
really
just
in
the
world
in
general
right
now,
is
using
AI
to
do
everything.
So
can
AI
actually
help
you
be
a
better
beer
league
hockey
player?
Hey
everybody,
Beer
League
here
with
another
episode
of
the
Beer
League
podcast.
We're
actually
going
to
be
revisiting
a
topic
that
we
talked
about
a
little
over
two
years
ago
that
has
just
becoming
more
and
more
relevant.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
can
AI
help
you
be
a
better
beer
league
hockey
player?
Alright,
so
last
time
we
did
this,
we
used
Chat
GPT
because
that
was
kind
of
the
big
thing
at
the
time.
That
was
really
the
only
kind
of
like
mass
used
AI.
I
mean,
just
two
years
ago,
that
seems
like
forever
ago.
But
today
we're
going
to
actually
be
plugging
in
the
exact
same
questions
we
asked
previously
into
Claude,
uh,
which
is
another
AI
that's
being
used.
I
don't
know
which
one's
the
biggest
one
being
used
for
business
stuff
now,
but
it's
another
one.
We're
gonna
try
it
out,
we're
gonna
see
what
it
says,
see
if
it
gives
anything
ridiculous,
or
maybe
we
get
surprised.
All
right,
so
the
first
thing
I'm
gonna
ask
it
is
super
basic.
What
What is beer league hockey?
SPEAKER_00
1:12
is
beer
league
hockey?
Alright,
beer
league
hockey
is
recreational
amateur
ice
hockey
played
by
adults
mostly
for
fun
rather
than
serious
competition.
The
name
comes
from
the
tradition
of
having
beers
together
after
the
game,
which
is
often
as
much
the
point
as
the
hockey
itself.
Okay,
that's
true.
Um,
it
goes
on
to
say
a
couple
of
the
characteristics
that
define
it
is
that
players
are
adults
of
all
skill
levels.
Um
the
vibe
is
low
stakes
and
social.
Uh,
no
checking
allowed
in
most
beer
leagues,
that's
true.
Uh
the
beer
part
is
fairly
literal
in
a
lot
of
leagues
uh
where
teams
head
to
the
bar
afterwards
or
crack
open
drinks
in
the
locker
room.
It's
a
big
part
of
the
camaraderie.
Oh,
and
hey,
it's
especially
popular
in
Canada
and
the
northern
United
States.
It's
a
common
way
for
adults
to
stay
active,
keep
playing
the
sport
they
love,
and
socialize.
I
think
that's
pretty
true.
Um
I
think
that
this
got
this
right
on.
I
think
this
is
better
than
the
last
time
it
answered.
It's
it's
a
much
more
succinct,
uh,
better
sounding
answer.
I
will
also
note
here,
uh,
for
any
of
those
that
are
listening
to
this
purely
on
the
audio
version,
check
the
show
notes.
I
will
have
a
link
to
a
page
that
will
have
the
full
transcript
of
everything
from
this.
So
you
don't
have
to
hear
me
just
read
walls
and
walls
of
text.
We're
gonna
summarize
it
as
we
go,
but
go
check
out
the
show
notes
or
head
over
to
thebeerleaguer.com,
get
the
full
everything,
and
read
all
the
stuff
yourself
so
you
can
see
what
you
think
if
you
think
it's
giving
good
answers.
Alright,
the
next
prompt
here
that
we
have
for
it
is
pretty
simple,
How do i get better at beer league hockey?
SPEAKER_00
2:47
how
do
I
get
better
at
beer
league
hockey?
Alright,
improving
a
beer
league
hockey
is
mostly
about
working
on
fundamentals
that
pay
off
disproportionately
at
the
recreational
level,
since
most
beer
league
players
have
gaps
you
can
exploit
just
by
being
a
bit
more
consistent.
I
I
feel
like
that's
kind
of
a
dig.
I
mean,
it's
true.
That's
kind
of
mean.
That's
totally
true.
Alright,
talks
about
skating
as
king.
Definitely
true.
Keep
your
head
up
and
play
simple.
Uh,
a
huge
amount
of
beer
league
offense
comes
from
just
making
the
easy,
smart
play
instead
of
trying
to
stick
handle
through
three
people.
Wow,
that
that
that's
actually
really
that
that's
good
advice.
Uh
getting
open
spaces
and
call
for
the
puck.
Um,
I
don't
know
if
I
would
say
calling
for
the
puck
is
always
great,
but
getting
to
open
spaces
and
looking
for
the
puck
is
good.
Shoot
more
and
shoot
quicker.
Uh
conditioning
matters
more
than
you'd
think.
I
mean
it
does.
Um
but
yeah,
it
it
helps
a
lot.
Uh
watch
better
players
and
steal
their
habits.
That
that's
a
very
good
yeah,
it's
a
good
idea.
It
says
notice
how
the
good
players
in
your
league
rarely
look
rushed,
how
they
coast
into
position
rather
than
chasing,
how
they
protect
the
puck
with
their
body.
Yeah,
that's
good
stuff.
Uh
a
practical
routine,
hit
stick
and
puck
or
a
skill
session
once
a
week
if
you
can.
Focus
on
one
specific
thing
each
time
rather
than
just
skating
around
and
do
some
off-ice
conditioning.
Even
modest
cardio
and
legwork
translates
directly
to
the
ice.
Yeah,
no,
that's
actually
that
is
actually
a
very
good
answer
uh
here
at
how
to
get
better.
Um
that
that
is
a
much
better
answer
than
we
got
last
time
we
did
this.
This
seems
very
much
uh
practical
takeaways
and
nothing
too
crazy.
So
I
like
that.
Alright,
next
up
we
How can i learn hockey game strategy?
SPEAKER_00
4:41
have
is
how
can
I
learn
hockey
game
strategy?
That's
something
a
lot
of
beer
leaguers
struggle
with,
of
just
learning
where
you're
supposed
to
be,
because
it
says
get
you
know,
get
open.
How
do
I
get
open?
What
does
that
mean?
So
let's
see
if
we
can
give
a
good
answer
here,
some
good
insight
into
this.
Learning
hockey
strategy
works
best
if
you
build
it
in
layers,
starting
with
the
concepts
that
actually
come
up
every
shift
rather
than
diving
into
complex
systems
you'll
never
use
in
a
rec
game.
Here's
how
I'd
approach
it.
Uh
start
with
core
principles
that
underline
all
hockey
strategy,
uh,
because
systems
are
just
specific
applications
of
these.
Alright,
it
says
the
big
ones
are
support
the
puck,
maintain
good
spacing
so
you're
not
clustered
together,
and
understand
the
concept
of
the
triangle.
Wow,
that's
okay.
Uh
on
defense,
it
says
it
flips,
take
away
time
and
space,
stay
between
your
man
and
the
net,
and
don't
get
caught
running
around
chasing
the
puck.
Yeah,
those,
I
mean,
super
simple
strategies.
Uh,
for
those
who
don't
know,
the
concept
of
the
triangle
in
an
offensive
setting
is
generally
it's
the
three
forwards,
uh,
because
usually
you're
talking
three
forwards
kind
of
down
towards
the
net
and
two
defensemen
up
by
the
blue
line.
Obviously,
this
can
change
if
you
know
a
defenseman
goes
down
low
and
hopefully
you
have
a
forward
going
back
and
covering
them.
It's
just
keeping
those
three
people
in
a
triangle
moving
around.
Uh,
that's
really
the
idea
is
you
don't
want
to
have
two
people
clustered
right
next
to
each
other,
more
than
likely.
You
want
to
have
a
triangle
uh
formed
by
those
three
people
around
the
net.
So
you
don't
have
you
know
all
three
people
on
one
side
of
the
net.
Uh,
generally,
you
don't
want
two
people
behind
the
net.
Uh,
you
don't
want
everybody
over
in
front
of
the
net,
you
know,
way
up
high
in
the
slot.
You'd
like
one
person
in
front
of
the
net,
maybe
two
people
in
the
slot,
or
people
on
both
sides
of
the
net,
one
person
in
the
middle
of
the
slot,
something
like
that.
But
it's
the
idea
of
keeping
a
triangle
uh
on
offense.
Uh,
it's
a
very
basic
way
that
usually
you
do
that,
and
they
mention
it
here.
Uh,
for
defensive
structures,
um
learn
uh
the
biggest
thing
to
learn
is
positional
defense
in
your
own
zone.
Uh
saying
generally
cover
the
net
in
the
corners,
center
supports
low
and
helps
down
low,
wingers
cover
the
points.
Yeah,
this
I
mean,
this
is
actually
I'm
impressed
so
far.
This
is
actually
pretty
good
uh
laid
out
basic
stuff.
This
is
the
kind
of
stuff
I
see
people
asking
about
and
wondering
about
for
very
basic
beer
league
things,
um,
and
not
getting
uh
too
crazy
complex
on
offense,
learn
the
basics
of
breakouts,
cycle
the
puck
around.
Um
also
doesn't
hear
the
cycle
is
huge
in
beer
league
because
it
lets
a
possessing
team
wear
down
tired
defenders.
That's
really
true.
I
mean,
that's
pretty
much
every
level
of
beer
league,
and
that's
honestly
all
levels
of
hockey,
but
I
think
it
is
the
most
effective
in
beer
league.
If
you
can
keep
the
puck
in
the
offensive
zone
for
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
super
long
time.
You
know,
in
the
NHL,
it's
a
big
deal
if
they
keep
the
puck
in
the
zone
for
30
seconds.
Uh,
that's
a
huge,
huge
thing.
In
beer
league,
if
you
can
keep
it
in
the
zone
for
you
know
a
couple
of
shots,
you
probably
have
people
getting
tired,
you
probably
have
goalie
getting
tired.
So
any
kind
of
cycle
and
keeping
pucks
in
does
make
a
huge
difference
on
offense.
Uh
talks
about
getting
in
the
neutral
zone
and
four-checking,
which,
yep,
good
luck
with
that,
trying
to
get
things
like
that.
Uh,
for
actually
learning
all
this,
a
few
resources
work
well.
It
recommends
YouTube
channels
like
the
hockey
guy.
I
don't
know
how
much
he
would
help
with
uh
specifically
playing
things.
I
mean,
he
is
a
fun
YouTube
channel.
Uh,
he
doesn't
really
talk
too
much
about
hockey
playing,
but
sure.
Uh,
Coach
Jeremy
from
How
to
Hockey,
definitely.
And
Weekend
Warriors.
Um,
that
is
a
company
that
does
like
three-day,
I
think
they
are,
uh,
camps
all
around
the
US
uh
that
are
for
beer
leaguers
specifically.
Uh
is
another
great
thing.
Um
else
do
we
have
here
is
uh
talk
about
off-puck
awareness.
And
oh,
here
you
go,
near
at
the
end.
The
fastest
the
fastest
accelerant,
though,
is
talking
to
your
team.
Yes,
I
a
hundred
percent
agree.
Even
a
five-minute
conversation
before
a
game
about
okay,
what's
our
breakout,
who's
covering
the
net,
gets
everyone
on
the
same
page
and
makes
the
abstract
strategy
concrete.
I
cannot
agree
with
that
more.
Uh,
if
you've
listened
to
other
episodes
where
I
talk
about
these
things,
those
are
things
that
I
definitely,
definitely
talk
about.
Uh,
is
just
talking.
Just,
you
know,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
huge
thing
about
strategy,
but
just
a
little
bit
of
talking
to
make
sure
everybody's
on
the
same
page
can
make
a
huge,
huge
difference.
So
I
agree
with
you,
Claude.
You're
doing
a
good
job
so
far.
Okay,
What should I watch for in professional games to learn hockey strategy?
SPEAKER_00
9:30
next
question
is
what
should
I
watch
for
in
professional
games
to
learn
hockey
strategy?
Because
that
is
something
that's
always
talked
about
and
it's
always
brought
up.
Watch
the
pros,
see
what
they
do,
try
and
pick
up
stuff
from
there.
Okay,
it
starts
off
with
watching
programs
to
learn
strategy
requires
a
deliberate
shift
in
how
you
watch,
because
the
natural
instinct
is
to
follow
the
puck,
and
the
puck
is
where
the
least
useful
learning
is.
The
strategy
lives
in
what
everyone
else
is
doing.
Once
again,
I'm
uh
I'm
pretty
impressed
here.
I
I
agree
with
this.
Saying
watch
away
from
the
puck,
uh,
see
what
players
are
doing
to
get
open,
to
keep
open
passing
lanes,
taking
away
space
defensively,
that
that's
super
useful.
Watch
defensive
zone
coverage.
Uh
it's
saying
to
pause
the
game
and
notice
the
structure.
Again,
the
I
agree
with
that.
Uh
watch
breakouts
in
slow
motion.
If
you
can
do
that,
that
does
help
for
sure.
Uh,
watch
the
support
around
the
puck
carrier.
Count
how
many
passing
options
the
puck
carrier
has
at
any
moment.
Pros
almost
always
have
two
or
three
because
teammates
work
to
support.
Notice
the
spacing,
they're
close
enough
to
pass,
but
far
enough
that
one
defender
can't
cover
two
of
them.
That
is
very
good
strategy.
Uh,
especially
in
lower-level
beer
leagues,
you
will
see
when
somebody
has
the
puck,
is
not
just
does
the
defense
tend
to
just
kind
of
collapse
down
and
you
have,
you
know,
two,
three
people
covering
one
person,
is
the
offense
a
lot
of
times
that
whoever's
supposed
to
be
supporting
them
kind
of
does
the
same
thing.
So
if
somebody
has,
you
know,
a
breakaway
or
even
a
slight
breakaway,
you
know,
they
have
someone
that's
going
with
them,
which
is
great.
So
they
have
a
passing
option,
but
they'll
be,
you
know,
three
feet
away
from
them.
And
that
that
doesn't
help.
It
doesn't
help
a
lot
because
you
don't
have
to
really
guard
that
person
because
you
can
just
guard
the
puck
carrier,
and
if
that
person
is
three
feet
to
the
side,
it
gets
the
puck.
You
just
turn
and
you're
already
guarding
that
person.
So
spacing,
that
is
a
very
good
thing
to
watch
uh
in
the
pros
to
kind
of
notice
that
and
hopefully
bring
that
in
your
game.
Uh
watch
the
neutral
zone,
that's
where
a
lot
of
strategy
hides
it
says.
Uh,
watch
what
happens
after
a
face-off.
I
think
that
is
something
I
think
is
very
underrated
for
Beer
League.
Uh,
not
necessarily
having
set
face-off
plays
all
the
time,
but
just
watching
where
people
go
and
how
they
handle,
you
know,
offensively
and
defensively
like
the
couple
moments
after
a
face-off,
like
the
next
one
or
two
beats
after
a
face-off
happens,
you
know.
Do
the
defensemen
on
offense
automatically
just
pull
back
to
the
blue
line,
or
do
they
stay
where
they're
at?
Do
they
spread
out
uh
on
offense?
Do
the
wingers
just
crash
the
net
right
away?
Do
they
move
to
the
corners?
Do
they
go
to
the
slots?
I
think
watching
stuff
like
that
and
kind
of
learning
maybe
some
different
things
to
try,
that
can
make
a
big
difference.
Uh,
I
know
when
I
play,
some
of
the
things
that
against
certain
teams,
it
can
really,
really
make
a
big
difference
is
you
know,
simple
things
like
offensive
face-off.
Do
you
have
both
wingers
kind
of
stack
on
the
inside
of
the
face-off,
and
one
person
just
goes
straight
to
the
net,
and
one
person,
you
know,
either
stays
in
the
slot
or
gets
tries
to
get
the
puck
to
them
right
away.
Uh,
something
like
that
can
actually
make
a
big
difference,
and
it's
an
easy
play.
Uh,
so
watch
what
happens
after
a
face-off
with
the
pros.
Not
necessarily
for
everything
they
do,
but
for
just
little
things
like
that,
I
think
can
really
help
out
a
lot
of
people
and
be
really
useful.
I'll
say
with
quotes,
play
that
you
can
run
off
of
a
face-off
that
can
definitely
help.
Uh,
it
does
put
here
at
the
end
one
realistic
caveat.
Pro
hockey
is
so
fast,
and
the
players
are
so
skilled
that
some
of
what
works
for
them
won't
transfer
to
beer
league,
where
everyone's
slower
and
the
structure
breaks
down
constantly.
Ouch.
I
mean,
true,
but
ouch.
So
watch
to
absorb
principles,
support
spacing,
positional
discipline,
rather
than
to
copy
specific
high-end
plays.
The
principles
are
what's
scared
down
scale
down
to
your
level.
I
think
that
that
is
another
uh
good
point.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
say
that
they're
going
to
watch,
you
know,
the
pros
and
get
ideas
for
what
to
do
in
Beer
League
and
you
know
how
to
play
their
game.
And
the
things
they
pick
up
on
is
oh
cool,
I'm
gonna
try,
you
know,
crazy
breakout
move
I
saw
McDavid
do.
Like
that
that's
that's
great,
but
that's
probably
not
what
you
should
be
watching
to
try
and
pick
up
on.
Uh,
try
and
pick
up
on
you
know
how
he
got
the
puck
and
where
he
was
moving
to
or
something
like
that,
and
do
those
types
of
things.
Uh,
this
is
also
where
I
say
I
really
like
if
you're
trying
to
watch
a
game
to
learn
hockey
principles,
I
really
like
watching
uh
some
of
the
minor
league
teams,
college
teams,
and
also
women's
hockey.
Um,
because
I
think
that
they
end
up
doing
a
lot
more
kind
of
structured
things
that
are
easier
to
see
and
more
transferable
to
bigger
league,
more
so
than
watching
NHL
games,
where
a
lot
of
times
it
is
players
are
so
skilled
and
so
fast
that
you're
really
almost
waiting
for
something
to
break
down
for
players
to
take
advantage
of.
So
it's
not
necessarily
something
that
they've
uh
planned
out
to
do.
Whereas
kind
of
that
slight
step
down
uh
in
some
of
the
speed
of
the
game,
I
think
really
translates
a
lot
easier
to
being
able
to
see
what's
going
on
and
pick
up
what's
happening
uh
in
the
game
and
see
these
kind
of
principles
and
the
different
things
that
players
are
doing
versus
just
waiting
for
someone
to
you
know
extend
too
far
to
try
and
do
a
hit
or
or
a
poke
jack
or
something
like
that,
and
then
watching
a
guy
who
just
has
you
know
game
breaker
speed
take
off.
Um
because
that's
not
necessarily
something
that
most
beer
leaguers
uh
can
do.
So
I
think
that's
true,
but
I
think
also
watching
some
of
the
other
stuff
that
is
not
just
NHL
when
you
say
pros
is
also
a
big
help
that
you
can
have.
Okay,
What is the most important part of beer league hockey?
SPEAKER_00
15:41
next
question
here
is
what
is
the
most
important
part
of
beer
league
hockey?
Let's
see
if
it
gets
this
right.
The
most
important
part
of
Beer
League
hockey
is
the
part
that's
right
there
in
the
name.
It's
the
social
side,
the
camaraderie,
the
hanging
out
afterward.
Beer
league
exists,
so
adults
can
play
a
game
they
love,
stay
active,
and
spend
time
with
people.
The
hockey
is
the
vehicle,
the
connection
is
the
point.
Uh
goes
on
to
give
a
longer
answer
than
that,
uh,
with
things,
but
basically
the
uh
that's
the
gist
of
it.
Talks
about
some
of
the
other
uh
being
someone
people
want
to
be
see
on
the
bench,
reliable,
good
humored,
gracious
when
you
lose,
generous
with
the
buck.
Matters
more
the
longevity
of
the
whole
the
whole
thing
than
your
wrist
shot
ever
will.
So
getting
better
is
a
great
goal,
and
there's
real
satisfaction
in
it.
Just
hold
it
alongside
the
thing
that
actually
makes
Beer
League
worth
doing,
showing
up,
playing
hard,
and
enjoying
the
people
you're
out
there
with.
Okay,
yeah,
no,
I
think
that
that
is
another
good
answer.
I
yeah,
I
agree
with
that.
Uh
that
that's
uh
uh
uh
really
what
Beer
League
is
all
about.
It's
all
about
getting
to
uh
do
something
fun
with
a
bunch
of
people.
People
that
eventually
become
your
friends,
hopefully,
and
uh
getting
to
meet
new
friends
and
having
a
group
of
having
a
group
of
adults
that
otherwise
you
wouldn't
get
to
meet
that
at
very
least
you
have
one
common
thing
with
that
you
all
like
playing
hockey.
Uh
so
you
can
talk
about
hockey
if
nothing
else.
So
yeah,
I
think
that
that
is
the
most
important
part
of
beer
league
hockey.
So
good
job.
Good
good
job,
AI.
Your
your
answers
are
getting
a
lot
better.
Also,
I've
noticed
they
are
a
lot
shorter
than
when
we
did
this
before,
a
lot
more
succinct,
which
is
nice.
Okay,
How should I work on my skating technique?
SPEAKER_00
17:41
on
to
the
next
question
we
have
is
how
should
I
work
on
my
skating
technique?
Something
that
I
think
most
beer
leaguers
want
to
do,
especially
low-level
beer
leaguers,
because
low-level
beer
leaguers,
we
are
generally
not
good
skaters
and
did
not
grow
up
skating.
So
this
is
something
that
we're
always
trying
to
work
on.
Uh,
skating
is
the
highest
leverage
thing
you
can
work
on,
so
being
deliberate
about
it
rather
than
just
skating
laps.
The
key
shift
in
mindset
is
that
skating
improvement
comes
from
drilling
specific
movements
with
intent,
not
from
accumulating
mileage.
Okay,
I
I
I
think
that
makes
sense,
although
I
do
think
that
there
is
something
to
just
skating
more
to
help
you
out,
but
I
can
see
the
idea
of
that.
I
agree.
Um,
let's
see
here
what
else
it's
talking
about
is
going
to
stick
and
puck
sessions.
Um
yeah,
the
mistake
most
adults
make
is
only
ever
skating
games
where
you're
reacting
and
never
isolating
a
skill.
I
totally
agree
that
if
you
can
do
any
kind
of
skating
away
from
that,
and
stick
and
puck
is
a
much
better
place
to
do
things
than
just
like
an
open
skate,
because
with
open
skates,
all
you
get
to
do
is
go
around
a
circle,
probably
one
direction.
That's
all
you're
doing.
Um,
and
that's
why
you
have
a
lot
of
these
people.
I
chuckle
because
it's
such
a
common
thing,
it's
people
that
you
know
know
how
to
ice
skate.
You
know,
they're
not
falling
down
and
stuff,
but
they
go
to
start
playing
hockey,
and
they
can
really
only
turn
and
stop
and
do
stuff
in
one
direction
because
their
entire
skating
career
is
them
going
to
open
skate,
and
very
rarely
do
you
see
open
skates
do
you
see
them
ever
reverse
how
you
go?
So
it's
really
just
one
direction
around
and
around
and
around
and
around,
and
that's
all
anybody
knows
how
to
turn
or
stop
or
do
anything
in
one
direction.
And
as
soon
as
in
hockey
you
have
to
go
the
other
way,
don't
know
how
to
do
it.
You
just
can't
do
it
because
you've
never
done
it.
Um,
so
stick
and
puck
is
good
because
you
can
kind
of
skate
all
over
the
place.
You
know,
you
can
turn
left,
turn
right,
stop
on
your
left,
stop
on
your
right,
stuff
like
that.
Go
backwards
if
you
want.
Uh,
also,
generally,
it's
not
as
packed
at
most
stick
and
puck
sessions.
So
hopefully
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
you
know
little
little
kids
being
behind
you
that
you're
gonna
fall
over,
or
younger
kids
that
are
really
good
at
skating
just
flying
around
and
trying
to
knock
you
over.
Uh,
so
yeah,
stick
and
puck.
Much
better
than
a
public
skate.
Uh,
also
gives
some
specific
things
to
try
drilling.
L
edges
and
balance
come
first.
Yep.
Uh
knee
bend
is
the
unglamorous
fix
that
changes
the
most.
Wow,
that's
so
true.
Uh,
I
mean,
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
universal
thing
of
how
do
I
become
a
better
skater
is
just
get
lower.
Because
everybody
thinks
you
know
they're
betting
their
knees
enough,
and
you're
not.
I
say
this
as
someone
that
skates
very
standing
up.
Um,
yeah,
that
that's
that's
kind
of
a
harsh
truth
there.
Uh
stopping
on
both
sides,
you
know,
even
says
almost
everyone
has
a
strong
side
and
a
side
they
avoid.
I
can
say
from
personal
experience,
I
mean
I
definitely
do
have
a
strong
side.
I
have
a
side
that
I
will
definitely
default
to
when
stopping.
Uh,
but
that
is
something
for
the
first
couple
years
I
really
did
work
on
stopping
on
kind
of
my
my
weak
side
for
it.
And
I
can
do
it,
I
can
do
it
consistently.
Uh,
I
do
do
it
regularly
in
games,
but
I
definitely
do
stop
on
my
strong
side
more.
Um,
because
if
it
doesn't
really
matter,
you
know,
if
it's
not,
I
need
to
keep
you
know
my
body
in
a
certain
way,
uh,
I
will
go
uh
default
to
strong
side,
but
that
does
make
a
big
difference,
uh,
being
able
to
stop
on
both
sides.
Uh
crossovers
forward
and
backwards.
Yeah,
that's
good.
Drill
them
in
circles
both
directions,
focusing
on
actually
crossing
the
outside
leg
fully.
There
is
so
much
stuff
out
there
about
crossovers
and
skating
nowadays
because
there's
different
ways
that
people
do
crossovers.
Uh
if
you
guys
keep
up
on
any
of
the
I
don't
know
how
you
put
it,
kind
of
the
the
new
ways
of
skating.
Uh,
there's
lots
and
lots
of
different
ways
that
people
do
crossovers
now,
uh,
different
mechanics
for
it
and
things.
So
if
you
thought
you
weren't
good
at
doing
kind
of
the
classic
crossovers.
Crossovers,
which
is
I
think
what
this
is
talking
about
of
you
know
going
around
usually
the
face-off
uh
circle
and
just
doing
like
the
classic
crossovers
each
way
and
backwards.
There's
a
lot
of
different
ways
up
there
for
people
like
McDavid,
I
guess,
and
stuff
uh
and
Eichel
and
a
couple
of
these
other
guys
have
popularized
doing
some
kind
of
more
choppy
crossovers
that
are
more
about
like
generating
speed
in
the
same
direction
you're
going.
Whereas
I
was
always
taught
before
that
crossovers
were
more
of
a
way
for
generating
speed,
like
for
changing
directions,
you
know,
either
going
from
forward
to
back
or
vice
versa,
or
like
for
going
a
turn
or
something.
Whereas
a
lot
of
these
guys
now
are
using
crossovers
for
even
if
you're
just
skating
forward,
using
like
these
kind
of
more
choppy
crossovers
to
just
generate
speed
uh
going
in
the
same
direction.
Um,
so
if
you're
having
trouble
with
crossovers,
definitely
something
to
kind
of
look
up
more
of
these
more
modern
ways
of
doing
crossovers.
Like
you
find
tons
of
stuff
online
about
it,
a
bunch
of
different
ways
that
people
are
doing
it.
Uh,
and
everyone
kind
of
does
them
a
little
bit
differently.
Uh,
so
different
than
kind
of
the
classic
crossover
that
you're
thinking
of.
So
definitely
would
recommend
checking
those
out
if
you're
having
trouble,
or
if
you
just
want
to
learn
some
new
skating
techniques.
Uh,
stride
mechanics.
Yep,
that's
a
different
uh
it's
definitely
a
good
thing
to
work
on.
Uh
and
it
has
on
here
about
stride
mechanics,
you
know,
film
yourself.
That
does
help.
It
is
painful
to
watch,
uh,
but
it
does
help.
Uh,
the
gap
between
what
you
think
you're
doing
and
what
you're
actually
doing,
especially
on
knee
bend
and
stride
extension,
is
enormous
and
you
can't
fix
what
you
can't
see.
Yeah,
that's
very
true.
Uh,
filming
yourself,
you
might
feel
ridiculous,
and
you're
definitely
going
to
look
ridiculous
to
yourself
watching
it,
but
you
know,
like
I
said,
you're
never
bending
low
enough.
You're
I'm
sure
most
people,
you
know,
if
you
film
yourself,
you
think
you're
getting
very
low,
you
think
you're
fully
extending
your
leg
on
every
stride,
and
you're
probably
not.
So
filming
yourself
definitely
can
make
a
good
difference.
Uh,
so
it's
good.
Uh,
off-ice
work,
talking
about
doing
some
off-ice
stuff
like
squats
and
lunges
and
single
leg
balance
things,
definitely
good.
Uh,
consider
a
few
power
skating
sessions
or
lessons.
Yep.
Yeah,
no,
100%
agree.
Uh,
once
again,
another
good
answer
with
some
I
would
say
practical
advice.
So
I
think
that
that's
I
like
that
it's
giving
a
little
bit
more
practical
advice
versus
just
kind
of
overarching
uh
ideas
like
we
got
last
time.
Okay,
uh,
what
can
I
do
to
improve
my
stick
What can I do to improve my stickhandling skills?
SPEAKER_00
24:39
handling
skills?
That
is
the
next
question.
Because
we've
improved
our
skating
so
much,
now
we
need
to
improve
our
stick
handling
to
catch
up
to
it.
Uh
but
saying
here,
uh
the
core
principles
is
reps
with
soft
hands
and
your
head
up.
Stick
handling
is
a
feel
skill.
It
lives
in
your
hands
and
your
wrists,
not
your
eyes.
The
whole
goal
of
practice
is
to
build
the
feel
until
you
don't
need
to
look
at
the
puck.
Yeah,
that's
uh
that's
a
good
way
of
putting
it.
Uh
start
with
a
ball
or
stick
handling
ball
at
home.
Uh
says
a
green
hockey
ball.
I
think
it's
getting
confuser.
I
think
it's
thinking
kind
of
I
think
it's
combining
like
a
green
biscuit
and
a
hockey
stick
handling
ball,
or
even
a
golf
ball.
Uh
on
smooth
surfaces,
mimics
the
puck
well
enough
and
lets
you
practice
anywhere.
Golf
balls
are
great.
Uh
talks
about
like
just
doing
it
while
you
watch
TV.
Consistency
of
small
daily
reps
beats
occasional
long
sessions
for
this
type
of
motor
learning.
Yeah,
a
golf
ball
is
great.
Um,
they
are
awful
to
stick
handle
with
because
they
are
small,
they
kind
of
bounce
around,
uh,
and
they're
a
little
bit
tougher
to
control,
but
that
makes
it
great,
especially
if
it's
on
a
harder
surface.
Uh,
I'd
be
careful
if
you're
doing
any
of
this
stuff
like
on
hardwood
floors
or
though,
on
hardwood
floors
or
anything
like
that,
because
if
you're
like
kind
of
doing
choppy
or
even
like
hard
sweeping
motions
with
your
hockey
stick,
uh
you're
probably
gonna
mess
up
the
floor.
You're
gonna
at
very
least
get
tape
marks
on
the
floor.
Um,
so
this
is
where
having
a
small
pad
of
some
sort
to
do
this
on
really
helps.
You
know,
you
don't
need
a
full
shooting
pad
or
anything.
You
can
buy
a
shooting
pad
specifically
for
it,
but
this
is
where
you
know,
going
up
to
the
you
know,
your
big
box
home
improvement
store
and
getting
a
piece
of
like
whiteboard
material
uh
is
kind
of
the
big
one
to
get,
or
just
kind
of
anything,
really.
If
you're
gonna
use
like
a
golf
ball,
you
don't
need
anything
in
that
even
that
slidey.
You
know,
you
can
you
can
get
like
a
small
piece
of
uh
project
wood
board
or
something
like
that.
Uh
that'll
even
work.
Uh
maybe
you
even
have
that
around
uh
that
you
can
use.
And
that
is
a
way
that
you
could
use
like
a
golf
ball
or
a
uh
training
ball
uh
for
things.
Uh
I
would
recommend
against
using
a
tennis
ball.
Uh
I
think
we
all
used
tennis
balls
back
in
the
day
for
like
street
hockey
and
stuff
like
that,
because
that's
probably
what
you
had,
and
you
didn't,
you
know,
didn't
have
anything
else
you
could
use.
Uh,
but
tennis
balls
do
not
mimic
a
hockey
puck
almost
in
any
way,
shape,
or
form.
I
mean,
it's
better
than
nothing,
but
it's
gonna
feel
very
different
uh
for
it.
And
they're
kind
of
like
how
a
golf
ball
doesn't
feel
like
a
hockey
puck,
but
a
golf
ball
is
smaller
and
bouncier,
so
it's
more
difficult.
So
if
you
get
good
with
a
golf
ball,
it
is
almost
easier
to
get
good
with
a
hockey
puck,
whereas
the
tennis
ball
is
the
opposite,
it's
big,
it's
clunky,
it's
bouncy,
but
not
that
bouncy
for
things,
not
bouncy
in
the
same
way.
So
if
you
get
good
with
a
tennis
ball,
it's
like
a
step
below
getting
to
uh
good
with
a
hockey
puck,
if
that
makes
sense.
It's
still
harder
to
then
get
used
to
the
hockey
puck
feel.
So
golf
ball,
definitely
over
a
tennis
ball
for
sure,
uh,
for
it.
Uh
that
talks
about
some
specific
patterns
to
learn,
uh,
side
to
sides,
wide
dribbles
and
tight
dribbles,
front
to
back,
toe
drags,
figure
eights
around
things,
uh,
and
get
your
head
up
as
soon
as
you
can.
Um,
that
is
definitely,
definitely
a
good,
good
idea
has
here.
Um,
has
some
ideas
for
different
ways
to
you
know
try
stuff.
I
think
the
biggest
thing
here
it's
is
really
getting
your
head
up
while
you're
doing
all
this.
Um,
I
think
the
watching
TV
is
a
good
way.
One
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
people
do
with
kids,
and
I
think
it
applies
to
adults
too
when
they
learn
stick
handle,
is
you
know,
while
you're
watching
hockey,
um
while
while
you're
uh
watching
a
hockey
game
on
TV,
have
your
setup
so
you
can
practice
some
stick
handling.
And
you
know,
hey,
during
every
uh
TV
timeout,
which
it's
only
like
two
minutes,
every
TV
timeout,
I
am
going
to
uh
you
know
watch
the
you
know,
have
my
head
up
to
watch
the
commercials
and
stick
handle
that
whole
time.
Try
and
stick
handle,
you
know,
and
the
first
time
is
going
to
be
going
back
and
forth,
and
the
second
time
is
gonna
be
going
front
to
back
and
doing
something
like
that.
That
is,
I
think,
a
really
easy
way
to
consistently
work
on
your
stick
handling,
and
you
know,
you're
doing
it
like
while
the
commercial's
on,
so
you
you
know
you're
not
missing
the
game
uh
if
you
you
know
mess
the
puck
around.
But
it's
also
it
gives
you
like
multiple
blocks
to
be
doing
it,
you
know,
that
those
happen
usually
three
times
a
period,
so
it's
giving
you
those
blocks
to
do
stuff.
Well,
some
people
do
things
like
that
uh
around
like
hey,
every
every
time
there's
a
power
play,
I'm
gonna
watch
it,
you
know,
keep
my
head
up
so
I
can
watch
the
game
while
it's
going
on,
but
stick
handle
and
do
the
same
kind
of
a
thing.
So
I
think
having
something
like
that
set
up
uh
is
kind
of
a
nice,
easy
way
to
get
into
a
routine
of
stick
handling
regularly.
How can I enhance my hockey shooting accuracy?
SPEAKER_00
29:43
Okay,
next
question.
How
can
I
enhance
my
hockey
shooting
accuracy?
You
know,
because
we've
gotten
to
be
great
skaters,
we
now
can
handle
the
puck
like
nobody's
business.
How
can
we
become
better
at
shooting?
Uh,
the
core
principle
is
that
accuracy
comes
from
a
consistent
repeatable
release
plus
deliberate
aiming.
You
can't
aim
a
motion
that's
different
every
time.
So
the
foundation
is
grooving
a
clean
wrist
shot
you
can
repeat,
then
layering
target
on
targeting
on
top.
Uh,
so
start
with
the
wrist
shot
because
it's
the
most
accurate
and
most
useful
shot
in
beer
league
by
far.
I
would
agree.
Um
I
think
everybody
should
have
a
reliable
wrist
shot,
not
necessarily
saying
good,
but
reliable,
something
that
they
are
used
to.
I
think
that's
better
than
you
know,
people
always
want
to
have
the
big
booming
slap
shot.
I
think
having
a
good
wrist
shot
can
really
help.
Uh
you
know,
you
can
you
can
build
on
everything
else,
I
think,
from
a
wrist
shot
for
it.
You
know,
you
can
uh
turn
a
wrist
shot
basically
uh
on
a
on
a
simplified
level,
really
turn
a
wrist
shot
into
a
slap
shot,
and
same
thing,
turn
a
wrist
shot
into
like
a
snapshot
uh
kind
of
thing
fairly
easily.
So
I
think
if
you
have
a
good
wrist
shot
that
is
your
base,
you
can
more
easily
transfer
those
skills
into
the
other
two,
and
that
kind
of
gives
you
all
three
of
the
major
shots
that
people
have
uh
that
they
use.
Uh
so
it's
talking
about
getting,
you
know,
building
your
fundamental,
uh,
your
base,
you
know,
weight
transfer
uh
for
things.
And
again,
I'm
not
gonna
I'm
not
reading
this
verbatim.
Uh
I
don't
think
you
guys
want
to
hear
me
read
the
stuff
verbatim
for
stuff,
but
I
do
definitely
recommend
checking
out
these
full
answers
uh
because
there
is
some
good
stuff
in
here.
Check
out,
I
will
have
this
in
the
show
notes,
a
link
directly
to
it,
or
as
always,
thebeerleager.com
will
have
always
has
all
the
old
podcast
episodes
and
whatever
the
latest
one
is,
and
have
links
to
everything
on
there
for
it.
So
if
you
want
to
get
this
full
transcript,
because
you
don't
want
to
hear
me
just
reading
a
wall
of
text.
That
that's
well,
maybe
you
do,
maybe
you
do.
Let
me
know
if
you
do
want
me
to
hear
me
reading
a
wall
of
text
because
I
will
gladly
sit
here
and
read
all
this
if
you
guys
want.
Uh
so
you
kind
of
get
your
basics
down,
like
I
said,
with
weight
transfer,
uh,
with
follow-throughs,
pointing
the
blade
at
your
target.
I
think
all
the
stuff
if
you've
done
any
kind
of
learning
how
to
shoot
properly,
stuff
you
know.
Uh,
and
then
it
says
to
uh
then
build
in
the
targeting.
So
always
shoot
at
a
specific
spot,
never
just
the
net.
Uh
so
it's
talking
about
using
different
targets
and
things,
even
if
you
don't
have
targets,
hanging
anything
or
even
just
shooting
at
a
spot
on
the
net
helps.
Uh
run
the
four
corners
and
prioritize
low.
I
think
that
is
a
great
thing.
Uh
says
here,
beer
league
goalies
like
most
goalies
below
the
elite
level
are
generally
weakest
low
to
the
glove
and
blocker
sides
and
on
shots
along
the
ice.
A
wrist
shot
to
the
bottom
corners
beats
a
goalie
far
more
than
one
aim
high,
where
you
almost
where
you
also
risk
missing
the
net
entirely.
Yeah,
that
is
something
that
I
think
you
see
a
lot
more
of
in
as
you
go
from
like
the
lowest
level
beer
leaguers
that
generally
can't
probably
raise
the
puck
a
lot,
go
up
from
there
a
little
bit
to
people
that
can
raise
the
puck,
and
they
do
everybody
just
wants
to
go
bar
down.
And
when
you
start
wanting
to
just
go
bar
down
all
the
time,
if
you
miss
it,
you're
you're
not
hitting
the
net
at
all.
Whereas
if
you
are
going
low
and
you
miss
high,
you're
still
gonna
hit
the
net.
And
if
you
hit
where
you
want
to,
or
even
you
go
lower
than
you
wanted
to,
you
know,
you're
still
going
towards
the
net.
And
low
shots
are
great
for
your
hopefully
your
teammates
that
are
crashing
the
net
uh
looking
to
you
know
get
putbacks,
which
is
how
a
lot
of
stuff
gets
scored
in
beer
league.
Uh,
you
don't
usually
have
people
sniping
goals,
it's
usually
a
lot
of
just
dirty
goals
from
in
front
of
the
net.
You
know,
somebody
takes
a
shot,
somebody
else
tries
to
flip
it
back
in,
that
gets
blocked,
and
you
know,
you
get
a
couple
things
like
that
where
you
have
a
couple
people
in
front
just
digging
away
and
trying
to
flip
pucks
over
the
goalie.
Uh,
and
those
low
shots
are
what
tend
to
do
that.
Trying
to
go
high
with
it,
if
you
like
I
said,
if
you
miss
it,
you're
probably
going
over
the
net.
I
mean,
they
look
great,
but
they're
not
really
generating
as
much
offense
uh
as
you
would
hope.
So
I
definitely
agree
with
that,
is
shooting
low
is
really
good.
Uh
gives
some
things
to
practice,
uh
make
practice
more
productive,
shooting
off
a
proper
surface.
You
know,
it's
talking
about
like
a
shooting
pad.
Um,
saying
volume
here
matters.
I
definitely
agree
with
that.
That
the
more
and
more
you
shoot,
the
more
it
kind
of
gets
drilled
into
you.
Uh,
it
is
definitely
kind
of
gets
to
be
like
a
volume
thing.
Uh
practice
of
shots
you
actually
take
in
games.
Yeah,
this
is
one
of
those
where
it's
tough
to
do
at
home.
Uh,
because
at
home,
a
lot
of
times
you
tend
to
have
your
setup
of
where
you're
shooting
and
like
your
net
or
whatever
you're
shooting
at
stay
stationary
and
you're
taking
the
same
shot,
you
know,
same
distance,
same
angle
all
the
time.
Uh
and
that
is
something
that
I
think
gets
lost
a
lot.
You
know,
you're
stationary
and
you're
shooting
the
same
thing
always.
You
know,
some
people
even
have
a
setup
where
you're
shooting
straight
on
all
the
time.
Whereas
in
a
game,
sometimes
you're
further
back,
sometimes
you're
super
close,
sometimes
you're
off,
you
know,
generally
you're
off
to
a
side
shooting
more.
You're
usually
not
always
coming
straight
down
the
middle
and
shooting,
you
know,
15
feet
straight
on
from
you
know
the
goal.
Usually
it's
uh
different
setups
for
it.
Um,
so
I
think
that
if
you
can
either
you
know
just
manipulating
the
net
or
your
shooting
surface,
you
know,
so
you
are
adjusting
one
of
them
so
you're
shooting
at
more
angles
and
shooting
you
know
closer
and
further,
I
think
really
can
help
you
a
lot.
I
also
talks
in
here
about
stuff
like
shooting
in
stride
and
off
of
a
quick
stick
handle
and
stuff
like
that.
I
think
those
are
also
things
that
a
lot
of
people
tend
to
neglect
with
it.
Um,
because
very,
very
rarely
when
you're
playing
a
game
are
you
at
a
standstill,
you
know,
10
feet
directly
in
front
of
the
net
with
time
to
set
up
and
take
your
shot.
I
I
don't
know
if
I
ever
see
that
happen
for
people.
You
know,
you're
moving,
you're
you
know,
picking
up
bad
passes
and
fumbling
them
to
try
and
get
a
shot
off.
You
don't
have
room,
so
you're
not
fully
extended,
so
you're
having
to
like
shoot
close
to
yourself,
things
like
that
all
the
time.
And
that
is
stuff
that
you
can
really
easily
practice
when
you're
at
home
shooting.
And
I
think
that's
something
more
people
should
be
doing.
Uh,
not
just
that
straight-on,
you
know,
basic
shot.
I
think
that
is
a
good
thing
for
getting
reps
in
and
really
kind
of
honing,
you
know,
your
own
steps
for
getting
what
you
feel
comfortable
shooting
with,
you
know,
making
sure
you
have,
you
know,
the
right
arm
swing
and
you
know,
you
are
doing
the
weight
transfer
and
like
you
know,
twisting
of
the
hips
and
the
follow-through
and
all
that.
I
think
that's
really
important
to
kind
of
get
that
down.
But
I
think
once
you
kind
of
have
an
idea
of
that,
it's
a
really
uh
good
thing
to
maybe
even
split
up
your
training
to
have
half
of
it
being
that
to
just
reinforce
it,
and
the
other
half
being
kind
of
different
different
ways
of
shooting,
different
stuff
that
you're
doing.
Like
I
said,
moving
the
net,
moving
your
shooting
pad,
you
know,
doing
quick
shots,
doing
like
a
quick
stick
handle
into
shooting.
Um,
if
you
have
a
any
kind
of
stick
handling
aids
uh
that
you
have
out
there,
maybe
like
the
ones
that
we
talked
about
3D
printing
in
a
previous
episode,
uh,
or
like
a
they
make
those
rebounders,
and
this
is
really
what
those
are
for
that
you
can
set
up
on
you
know
shooting
boards
and
stuff,
or
you
can
build
one
yourself,
where
you
kind
of
pass
the
puck
into
it
and
it
gives
you
a
pass
back,
and
then
you're
shooting
right
off
of
a
pass,
or
do
that,
you
get
the
puck
and
do
like
a
little
movement,
a
little
uh
stick
handle
off
of
getting
that
in,
or
purposely
give
yourself
a
bad
pass
off
of
that
and
shooting
from
that
kind
of
stuff,
I
think
can
really,
really
become
more
useful
than
just
trying
to
do
that
perfect
shot
every
time
uh
that
you're
probably
gonna
take
during
a
game.
Uh
also
hasn't
hear
about
not
neglecting
the
backhand.
I
think
backhand
is
something
that
is
very
neglected
uh
in
beer
league,
especially
low
levels.
Uh
few
reps
of
the
snapshots
and
one
timers.
Yeah,
we
talked
about
that.
Uh
let's
see
what
else
we
have
here.
Um
the
realistic
framing
for
beer
league.
You'll
score
far
more
goals
by
reliably
hitting
the
net
with
a
quick,
low,
accurate
wrist
shot
than
by
developing
a
big
slap
shot.
A
huge
fraction
of
rec
league
shots
miss
the
net
entirely
or
get
stopped
because
they're
aimed
at
the
goalie's
chest.
Just
consistently
hitting
the
corners
low
with
a
quick
release
puts
you
ahead
of
almost
everyone.
Yeah,
so
kind
of
what
we
said.
Uh
practical
routine:
get
a
net
and
a
couple
of
corner
targets,
take
30
to
50
deliberately
aimed
shots
a
few
times
a
week,
pick
a
target
on
every
shot
and
rotate
through
wrist
shots
from
a
standstill
off
a
pass
and
off
your
backhand.
Track
roughly
how
many
you
hit,
the
feedback
loop
of
aiming
and
seeing
whether
you
hit
sharpens
you
quickly.
Okay.
No,
I
agree.
Uh,
and
you
know,
you
don't
targets
are
definitely
helpful.
Uh,
you
don't
need
them,
but
they
are
definitely
helpful
for
learning
to
shoot.
Um,
net
is
helpful,
but
you
can't
you
don't
need
a
net.
You
can,
you
know,
have
a
tarp
set
up.
Uh
you
can
maybe
shoot.
I
mean,
if
you
have
like
a
brick
side
of
your
house,
you
can,
you
know,
this
is
what
kids
do,
shoot
at
the
side
of
your
house,
uh,
outside
for
stuff.
Uh,
if
you
have
a
a
brick
or
concrete
wall,
like
in
a
basement
or
something,
you
could
shoot
at
that
if
you
really
want
to,
I
suppose.
Uh,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
net
always.
Uh,
you
can
find
other
stuff
to
shoot
at.
Uh,
I
will
say
though,
as
if
you
are
practicing
any
type
of
shooting,
if
that's
something
you
think
you're
going
to
be
doing,
make
sure
you
pay
attention
to
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
pucks
that
miss
and
the
pucks
that
have
like
weird
uh
bounces
off
of
whatever
you're
shooting
at.
Because
it's
great
if
you
hit
it,
you
know,
if
you
have
some
kind
of
targeting
system
set
up
and
you
hit
those
and
the
puck
just
kind
of
drops,
great.
But
if
you
just
have
a
net
set
up
and
it's
like
out
in
your
backyard
and
you
miss
the
net,
even
if
it's
by
like
you
know
half
an
inch,
you
miss
the
net,
where's
the
puck
gonna
go?
Are
you
gonna
hit
a
car?
You're
gonna
hit
a
window,
you
know.
That's
that's
the
stuff
to
really
watch
out
for,
more
so
than
what's
gonna
happen
when
you
actually
hit
the
target
that
you're
shooting
for.
So
little
tip
um
to
make
sure
you
don't,
you
know,
mess
up
your
house
really
bad
uh
trying
to
get
better
with
your
shooting.
Okay,
uh,
right
a
hockey
practice
routine
Write a hockey practice routine for me I can do by myself.
SPEAKER_00
40:33
for
me
that
I
can
do
myself.
Let's
see
if
it
can
take
all
this
stuff
and
really
turn
it
into
something
practical
that
we
can
turn
around
and
go
with.
Okay,
here's
a
full
routine.
It's
got
a
uh
complete
solo
routine
built
around
the
three
areas
we've
covered
skating,
stick,
handling,
shooting,
plus
the
conditioning
that
ties
it
all
together.
It's
designed
for
one
person
with
no
teammates
needed,
mixing
cheap
off-ice
work
you
can
do
daily
at
home
with
ice
sessions
when
you
can
get
them.
Alright,
so
what
does
it
have
here?
How
does
this
thing
start?
Wow,
this
is
it's
it's
got
a
lot
of
stuff
in
here
for
it.
So
it
gives
you
a
this
is
this
is
like
a
seven-day
a
week
practice
routine.
Um
has
uh
on
Monday,
it's
got
stick
handling
and
shooting
at
home,
then
off-ice
strength
and
training,
stick
handling
and
shooting,
an
ice
session
with
skating
focus,
rest
or
light
stick
handling,
and
off
ice.
Uh
so
for
like
off-ice
stick
handling,
it
has
has
you
doing
stuff
like
warm-up
touches,
wide
tight
dribbles,
front
to
back,
toe
drags
and
pulls,
figure
eights
around
stuff,
and
heads-up
finish.
Alright,
that's
a
10-minute
routine.
That's
pretty
easy.
That's
that's
that's
a
a
kind
of
a
full
uh
routine
there,
that
only
in
10
minutes,
that's
pretty
good.
Off
ice
shooting,
has
doing
wrist
shots
from
a
standstill,
quick
release
reps,
shooting
off
pass
and
backhands.
Another
10-minute
thing.
Okay,
I
like
that.
That's
two
quick
quick
uh
work
kind
of
workouts
you
can
do
uh
for
your
stick
handling
and
your
shooting,
each
one
only
taking
10
minutes,
so
that's
not
bad.
You
know,
like
I
said,
you
could
do
those
like
while
especially
the
stick
handling
one,
that's
something
you
could
do
while
you're
watching
hockey.
Uh
I
mean,
honestly,
the
shooting
one
you
could
do
during
intermissions
if
you
wanted
to.
It's
a
real
easy
way
to
uh
uh
kind
of
schedule
that
stuff
out
if
you're
looking
for
a
way
to
do
that.
Uh
stuff
for
on-ice
sessions
with
skating
focus
for
like
an
hour,
and
that's
you
know
got
warm-ups,
edges
and
balance,
stopping,
crossovers,
stride
mechanics,
and
then
using
a
puck
at
the
end.
That
sounds
very
much
like
you
would
have
for
an
actual
skating
session
with
a
skating
coach.
Uh,
sounds
like
how
they
usually
break
that
stuff
down.
Uh,
throws
in
there
about
film
one
session
to
watch
yourself,
and
I
would
agree.
I'd
agree,
film
your
like
first
time
doing
this.
If
you
are
going
to
do
some
kind
of
on
ice
trying
to
get
better
with
your
skating,
honestly,
even
with
shooting,
I
think
filming
yourself
with
shooting
is
also
a
great
help
to
see
because
what
you
think
you're
doing
is
not
necessarily
what
you
are
doing.
Uh,
and
with
both
of
those,
and
I
think
more
so
even
with
shooting,
because
it's
probably
easier
to
set
up
something
to
film,
uh,
filming
yourself
from
the
side,
watching
it,
and
then
also
filming
yourself
from
behind,
or
and
even
if
you
can
from
in
front,
like
from
what
the
net
sees,
uh,
filming
a
couple
shots
like
that
can
really
help
see
things
like,
you
know,
are
you
twisting
your
wrists
properly
on
your
shot?
Are
you
really
transferring
the
weight
as
much
as
you
think?
Are
you
twisting
as
much
as
you
think?
Um,
is
your
follow
through
really
going
where
you
think
you're
like
where
you're
seeing
it
going?
Is
it
actually
getting
to
where
you're
doing
and
like
pointing
at
the
net
and
stuff
like
that?
So
I
think
filming
from
multiple
angles,
uh
especially
from
shooting,
again,
because
it's
usually
a
little
bit
easier
because
you're
probably
at
home
doing.
That
uh
is
definitely
helpful.
Uh,
that
has
like
an
off-eye
strength
and
conditioning
kind
of
workout
circuit
here
that
has
a
little
warm-up,
uh,
some
basic
strength
stuff,
squats,
reverse
lunges,
single
leg,
uh
bounce
things,
lateral
bounds
and
planking,
and
then
some
conditioning.
Yep,
pretty
pretty
basic
workout
there.
So,
you
know,
the
the
skating
and
the
workout
stuff,
sure,
seems
pretty
basic
normal
stuff.
I
really
like
the
idea
of
having
these
like
two
kind
of
different
10-minute
stick
handling
blocks
and
shooting
blocks
is
what
it's
calling
them.
I
like
those.
I
think
those
are
are
very
handy
things
to
have
in
there.
Um
yeah,
so
I
like
that.
And
those
are
stuff
that
are
pretty
easy
to
do.
Um
pretty
easy
to
uh
integrate,
you
know,
into
your
into
your
weekly
thing.
I
mean,
10
minutes
each.
So
like
I
said,
you
could
you
know
just
make
a
thing
like,
hey,
I'm
gonna
be,
you
know,
you
watch
however
many
hockey
games
a
week,
probably.
I'm
assuming
most
people
that
play
Beer
League
do
enjoy
watching
hockey.
But
if
you're
doing
that,
you
could
say,
hey,
I'm
doing
the
I
do
the
stick
handling
block
during
the
first
intermission,
I
do
the
shooting
block
during
the
second
intermission.
I
mean,
intermissions
are
what,
18
minutes?
Those
are
those
take
10
minutes.
So
you
still
got
time
to
uh
you
know
get
up,
go
to
the
bathroom,
go
do
your
your
little
stick
handling
or
shooting
routine
that
helps
out,
then
get
whatever
you
need
for
you
know
the
next
next
period
to
watch
the
game.
So
still
plenty
of
time
to
do
that.
So
that
can
work
out.
I
like
that.
Good
good
advice
here.
So
far,
I'm
I'm
pretty
impressed
with
the
advice
we've
gotten
here
out
of
Claude.
We're
gonna
get
we're
gonna
do
one
more
question
here.
Uh,
I
will
have
other
questions
because
I'll
go
through
all
the
ones
that
we
asked
previously.
Um,
I'll
have
all
those
questions
with
the
full
kind
of
chat
transcript
that
we're
having
here.
Like
I
said,
I've
said
it
multiple
times
over
at
thebeerleaguer.com
or
in
the
show
notes
to
get
that.
So
you
can
get
the
full
version
of
all
this
transcript
plus
some
other
questions
I
have
asked,
uh,
like
we
asked
previously.
So
go
check
that
out
if
you
want
some
more
answers
on
things.
But
we
will
ask
What’s the most important hockey equipment to spend money on?
SPEAKER_00
46:06
one
more
for
this
episode
is
what's
the
most
important
hockey
equipment
to
spend
money
on?
That's
something
that
gets
asked
a
lot.
A
lot
of
people
wonder
about
you
know,
I
gotta
buy
new
something.
What's
the
one
thing
I
should
spend
money
on?
A
lot
of
times,
people
coming
back
from
hockey
uh
after
like
20
years
away
or
something,
like
hey,
I
have
my
old
gear.
What's
the
thing
I
should
get?
Uh,
so
here
you
go.
Oh,
let's
say
it's
weighing
spending
priorities
across
skates,
helmets,
and
sticks.
Okay.
Has
here
uh
for
beer
leaguer
for
beer
league,
the
spending
priority
is
pretty
clear
and
it's
worth
being
deliberate
about
it
because
most
of
your
money
should
go
to
one
or
two
items
while
you
can
comfortably
save
on
the
rest.
Skates
without
question.
This
is
where
your
money
matters
most.
Yeah,
I
mean
that's
that's
a
good
one.
That's
that's
a
that
that
is
a
big
one.
And
a
helmet
that
fits
and
is
certified.
This
is
a
don't
compromise
item,
but
for
a
different
reason.
It's
safety,
not
performance.
Yeah,
I
agree.
Uh
skates
and
helmets.
Those
are
the
those
are
where
you
really
want
to
put
your
money
for
stuff.
Uh
skates
because
you
gotta
you
know
keep
them
comfortable,
and
you
know,
hopefully
those
will
last
you
a
decent
amount
of
time.
And
helmet
because
that's
probably
the
thing
that's
gonna
keep
you
the
safest.
So
that's
the
thing
that
you
do
want
to
definitely
get
a
good
one
for.
And
actually
update
it.
You
know,
if
you're
still
wearing
the
same
helmet
you've
been
wearing
for
10,
15,
20
years,
get
a
new
one.
You
know,
just
just
just
get
a
new
one,
keep
uh
keep
that
noggin
safe.
Uh,
then
after
it
says
after
those,
you
know,
sticks,
uh,
it
matters
for
feel,
but
it's
smart
to
go
mid-range.
Expensive
sticks
break
just
as
easily,
and
the
performance
gap
is
marginal
at
the
rec
level.
I
I
disagree
with
that.
I
think
it's
very
expensive
sticks
tend
to
break
more
because
they
are
so
light.
And
generally
the
uh
like
the
people
that
are
buying
the
more
that
they're
marketed
to
for
the
super
expensive
sticks
don't
mind
buying
multiple
of
them
uh
any
year.
So
I
think
super
expensive
high-end
sticks
tend
to
break
more
than
uh
some
of
the
lower
end
sticks.
Um,
so
they
might
have
great
feel
uh
and
they
are
super
light,
but
yeah,
I
think
that
is
gonna
generally
break
more.
Um
so
that's
something
to
think
about.
Uh
gloves
buy
for
fit
and
comfort,
mid-range
is
plenty.
Definitely
agree.
I
don't
know
if
super
high-end
gloves
really
make
much
of
a
difference.
Maybe
they
are
a
little
bit
more
flexible,
a
little
bit
more
comfortable.
Uh,
pro
stock
gloves,
I
think,
are
great
uh
kind
of
compromise
there
of
getting
a
little
bit
nicer
glove,
but
one
that
is
not
crazy
expensive
usually.
Uh,
and
also
pro
stock
gloves,
if
you
need
it,
uh,
tend
to
have
extra
padding
on
them,
which
is
really
nice.
Uh,
then
it
just
kind
of
says
for
the
rest
of
the
protective
gear,
shoulders,
elbows,
shin
guards,
pants.
Uh
this
is
where
you
can
save.
Bearly
is
no
checking
mostly,
so
you
don't
need
high
protection.
Yeah,
entry
level
used
gear
is
fine.
Uh,
I
definitely
agree.
A
lot
of
players
buy
this
stuff
secondhand
for
cheap.
Uh,
yeah,
I
I
definitely
agree
with
that.
Um,
I
mean,
you
want
to
have
all
those
things,
you
want
to
make
sure
they
fit
properly,
but
a
lot
of
that
stuff,
you
are
protecting
yourself
from
uh
more
so
from
like
falling
and
people
falling
around
you
than
actually
having
to
like
take
a
hit.
Uh
so
some
like
the
super
high-end
shoulder
pads,
you
know,
they're
designed
for
you
know,
checking
hockey.
Uh,
you
really
shouldn't
have
to
worry
about
that
in
beer
league
too
much.
I
mean,
you
want
to
I
don't
get
there
are
people
that
don't
wear
shoulder
pads
at
all.
I
don't
understand
that.
I
would
think
you'd
want
something
to
just
kind
of
protect
your
shoulders
and
like
your
chest
and
your
back
and
stuff
like
that.
So
if
you
do
fall
or
if
somebody
falls
into
you
or
somebody
hits
you
by
accident,
you
are
protected.
So
I
think
you
want
something
there.
Um,
same
thing
with
elbow
pads.
Uh
for
me,
the
one
thing
I
have
noticed
with
elbow
pads,
though,
is
as
you
kind
of
get
more
expensive,
is
they
tend
to
uh
sit
better
on
the
elbow
and
stay
where
they're
supposed
to,
uh,
not
sliding
up
and
down
the
elbow
as
some
of
the
the
cheaper
ones
do.
Uh
so
that
is
something
to
look
out
for
with
it.
Um
and
elbow
pads
seem
to
be
the
pad
that
universally
has
velcro
that
wears
out
the
worst.
So
getting
ones
that
fit
properly
uh
are
a
big
deal
for
that.
Um
shin
guards,
you
know,
you
you
can
you
can
get
super
cheap
ones
that
just
have
plastic
on
the
front
uh
for
a
little
bit
and
it
will
protect
you
from
straight-on
shots.
You
can
get
really
fancy
ones
that
kind
of
have
protection
all
around,
which
can
help
and
be
nice.
Um,
and
then
for
pants,
same
thing.
Uh
you
can
get
pants
that
offer
a
lot
of
protection
uh
and
you
know
have
kind
of
plastic
and
hard
protection
everywhere
all
around
them,
so
they're
protecting
all
around
your
body
uh
and
stuff,
and
then
cheaper
ones
that
really
just
have
it
right
right
on
the
thigh.
Uh
so
I
think
you
definitely
do
get
kind
of
what
you
pay
for
with
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
you
definitely
don't
need
to
get
super
expensive
ones.
I
think
secondhand
is
a
great
way
to
do
it.
Uh,
it
does
have
here
a
couple
small
things
punch
above
their
cost.
Uh
good
skate
socks
and
footbeds.
Definitely
agree.
Skate
socks,
very
important.
Uh,
good
skate
socks,
I
think,
can
make
a
world
of
difference
for
how
comfortable
your
skates
are.
Footbeds.
It
used
to
be
everybody
got
um,
you
know,
extra
different
different
party
footbeds
for
their
skates.
Uh,
you'd
all
you
never
had
the
ones
that
came
in
your
skates
generally
because
those
were
kind
of
crap.
Uh,
but
now
a
lot
of
the
skate
manufacturers,
I
think
all
of
them
do
now
have
uh
you
can
buy
like
kind
of
more
customed
footbeds
for
your
skates.
So
they're
not
like
necessarily
custom
to
your
feet,
they're
not
custom
orthotics,
but
you
can
get
ones
that
have
like
a
little
bit
higher
of
an
arch
or
lower
arch
or
ones
that
you
know
have
like
a
a
uh
uh
a
higher
heel
on
them
and
things
like
that.
Uh,
a
lot
of
them
do
have
different
different
style
of
footbeds
that
you
can
get
to
put
in
your
skates
that
do
help.
So
that
definitely
can
make
a
big
difference
having
nice
footbeds
for
it.
Uh,
I
would
recommend
against
some
people
do
get
footbeds
like
you
just
buy
at
Walmart
or
whatever
for
your
shoes.
I
would
recommend
against
things
like
that
for
your
skates.
Uh
because
those
are
usually
made
uh
kind
of
spongy
and
soft,
so
they're
comfortable
to
walk
on.
Not
necessarily
what
you
want
for
skates.
So
I
would
I
would
definitely
recommend
against
something
like
that
uh
for
your
skates.
Also,
I
don't
want
to
hear
regular
sharpenings.
Figuring
out
what
your
what
kind
of
sharpening
you
like
and
how
often
you
like
to
get
those,
I
think
can
really
make
a
difference
in
how
your
skates
feel.
So,
you
know,
are
you
do
you
know
what
hollow
you
like
to
have
for
your
skates?
You
know,
find
that
preference
for
it
uh
where
you
like
to
be.
Some
people
aren't
very
picky,
some
people
thought
they
weren't
picky
and
then
tried
different
hollows
and
realized
they
were
kind
of
picky.
So
learning
that
and
then
how
regularly
you
like
your
skate
sharpened.
Some
people
like
their
skate
sharpened
a
lot.
I
know
people
that
sharpen
their
skates
almost
every
game.
Uh,
I
also
know
people
that
get
their
skates
sharpened
once
to
start
the
year,
and
that
might
be
it.
Uh,
you
know,
like
I've
talked
about
before,
I
have
a
sparks
machine
at
home,
so
I
can
sharpen
my
skates
whenever
I
want.
I
usually
sharpen
my
skates
every
two
or
three
games
just
to
keep
it
my
skates
feeling
the
same
uh
for
all
the
games,
and
I
really
have
gotten
used
to
that.
So,
you
know,
I
think
just
kind
of
learning
what
you
like
uh
is
a
good
thing
to
have
on
here.
Uh
and
then
it
also
says
on
here
a
mouth
guard.
Uh
cheap
and
genuinely
worth
it.
I
would
kind
of
agree.
If
you're
one
of
these
crazy
people
that
doesn't
wear
any
full
face
coverage
while
you're
playing,
I
think
a
mouth
guard
is
a
must-have
while
you're
playing.
Uh,
definitely
a
must-have.
And
getting
anything
above
kind
of
that
super
cheap,
generic,
like
boil
and
bite
mouth
guard,
anything
that's
a
step
above
that,
I
think
is
good
uh
and
will
help
out.
I
don't
know
that
you
necessarily
need
one
if
you
are
wearing
a
full
face
cage.
I
know
that
there
are
benefits
uh
that
does
actually
help
when
you
hit
the
ice
so
you
don't,
you
know,
teeth
don't
slam
together,
uh,
and
it
can
help
in
concussion
uh
prevention
a
little
bit
for
it.
Also
helps
if
you
are
somebody
that
you
know
grinds
their
teeth
when
they
play.
That
is
something
that
I
I
definitely
do.
Uh,
you
know,
like
if
I'm
shooting
a
lot
or
doing
something
like
that,
I
will
kind
of
uh
a
little
bit
grind
my
teeth
while
I'm
doing
it,
and
I
will
you
know
chew
up
mouth
guards,
so
that
is
uh
can
help
with
that
as
well.
So
you're
actually
chewing
up
the
mouth
guard,
not
chewing
up
your
teeth.
Um,
yeah,
there's
tons
of
different
ones
out
there.
Uh
the
the
Sisu
mouth
guards
have
been
a
very
popular
choice
for
me
and
among
other
people
uh
because
they
are
they're
pretty
minimal
mouth
guard,
but
it
does
enough.
I
think
it
does
enough
for
what
a
mouth
guard
for
you
want,
especially
if
you're
somebody
that
does
have
full
face
protection,
like
you
should
when
you're
playing
beer
league.
Uh,
you
know,
you
can
talk
with
it
and
everything.
It
doesn't
bother
you,
you
don't
like
take
it
out
all
the
time.
Uh
it's
super
easy
to
form.
They're
small,
but
it
does
uh
sit
in
there
and
keep
your
teeth
from
uh
you
know
banging
into
each
other
if
you
do
fall
or
get
hit
or
get
impacted
anyway.
So
I
definitely
like
those.
But
yeah,
I
think
mouth
guard
is
generally
a
good
thing
to
have,
not
that
not
nearly
as
necessary,
but
probably
something
worth
looking
into.
Wrap-Up
SPEAKER_00

All
right,
well,
there
you
go,
folks.
Kind
of
a
look
at
can
AI
help
you
become
a
better
hockey
player
version
two,
uh,
the
update
uh
for
this.
I
thought
there
was
some
pretty
good
stuff
in
here.
Um,
I
was
actually
really
impressed.
The
last
time
we
did
this,
I
feel
like
we
got
much
longer
answers
than
we
got
this
time,
and
I
don't
feel
they
were
nearly
as
practical
as
advice.
Uh,
this
seemed
uh
shorter
or
more
direct
answers.
Uh,
I
liked
that.
I
thought
it
was
pretty
good.
Um,
so
I
would
say
if
you're
looking
for
some
kind
of
bigger
picture
ideas
like
this
on
Beer
League
and
getting
better
at
it
and
learning
different
things,
using
AI
seems
like
uh
it's
gotten
better.
Um,
I
would
hope
so,
uh,
since
it's
it's
kind
of
taken
over
the
world
in
so
many
ways
that
it's
gotten
smarter
about
things,
but
it
seems
like
definitely
has.
So
hopefully
this
was
some
useful
stuff
for
you.
Hopefully,
this
gives
you
some
ideas
of
things
that
you
know
you're
gonna
use
it
to
get
better
at
hockey
with
yourself.
