  1. take some golf balls and just stickhandle the golf ball really fast


  2. Find yourself an ice-like surface and practice, practice, practice.

       Use obstructions (like pilons) and do figure-8's, etc.  Then, do it while on one knee.  Then both knees.  Then do it while transitioning from one knee, to two, to standing, and around again.  Do it from an "off-angle" - move your body so that you have to turn your body to do the figure 8 through the pilons.  Change the positions of the pilons, add more pilons and move through them (as seldom do we stick-handle in a game while standing still).

      Practice, Practice, Practice... and even practice during the warm-up before your games.  Figure-8 the puck as you skate, put the puck into your skates and kick it back up to your stick, stickhandle around your own players (around their feet but be sure not to let them step on the puck as you do so or you have just hurt a player on your own team).

      One thing I do during warm-up is skate around in the circle, stickhandling and passing the puck to where the lines intersect with the boards, then picking up the puck again, stickhandling and passing to the next intersection of blue or redline and boards....

  3. Get some plexiglass and do what I told you to do already.

    Do you get it? If not e mail me

  4. practice makes perfect. Try to recreate an ice like surface with plexi glass or plastic ice from a sports shop. Tennis balls on carpet arent the best idea cuz it gives you a different feel of the puck. my cousin set up a net in his basement and unloaded as many balls as he could on it and he ended up in about tier 9 with no ability to skate cuz he skipped his last season  for soccer. what a f*g eh?
