Jeremy Rupke

Canadian Coach and Content Creator

I’m a husband, father, coach, and hockey player. I live by a principle of getting better every day. Through this principle I am working to always create better content, while also improving my abilities as a coach and father.

A core value I hold is a desire to help others. I have a deep passion for hockey which led me to launch HowToHockey.com in 2009. Shortly after I started a Youtube channel, Facebook page, Twitter account, and now Instagram and Snapchat. With a collective following close to 500 000 people, I have the largest following of hockey players outside of the two largest brands in the industry.

I publish new videos every week with the goal to educate, entertain, or motivate.

My Story

The Highlight Reel

The Highlight Reel

2009 - Started HowToHockey.com

    I loved hockey, and had a knack for making websites. When I couldn't find a comprehensive website that taught people how to play hockey I decided I would make one.

    2010 - Added a Youtube Channel

      It's not easy explaining complicated movements in articles, so I decided I need videos! With a friend and a handycam we went out and shot a bunch of videos on an out door pond.

      2010-2013 - Work Work Work

        From 2010 - 2013 How To Hockey slowly moved from a small site and a handful of videos, to something that was (happily) consuming most of my free time. I decided that if I took things seriously and really focused, I may be able to share my passion for the game full time. Every day I worked to improve my coaching knowledge, hockey skills, or video skills.

        2014 - Started a 2nd Youtube channel

          Teaching hockey is awesome, but I also wanted to share other areas of the game. The culture, humour, locations and lifestyle. In 2014 I started a 2nd channel, and set out to create a new video every single week.

          2014 - Started sharing on Instagram

            With Instagram taking off in popularity I saw a great opportunity to reach young hockey players and share more hockey content.

            2015 - Hockey On Top of the World

              I was selected by Molson Canadian as 1 of 10 people across Canada who do Anything for Hockey. I was given the opportunity to play hockey 10 000 feet up on a pristine mountain top rink.

              2016-2017 - 100k Club

                In 2016 and 2017 I hit some big milestones for my social media followings

                • 2016 - 100 000 Followers for my 1st Youtube channel
                • 2016 - 100 000 Followers on Instagram
                • 2017 - 100 000 Followers on my 2nd Youtube channel
                • 2017 - 50 000 Followers on Facebook

                Jeremy, Just to let you know, a lot of what you have done on line for hockey is going farther than you may think. I have been using a lot of your “tips” to help teach my Grandson and the U6 and U8 league kids that he plays with. My Grandson turned 6 and two weeks later the head coaches wanted him in U8. He averages 1.75 goals per game, why? Your videos and his dedication to hockey (I helped some). In my book that says a lot for you and a legacy that you are leaving behind you!! PLEASE keep up the great work and realize, your knowledge is helping the world of hockey!! All I can say is thank you and you are a good man! Sincerely! Dave Brodacki

Im going into my 4th hockey season. I played my first two years house league and scored a combined of 124 goals. In my third season i moved up and played single A hockey. I scored 32 goals in 40 games. This summer im taking my second thirty day skills challenge. I just wanna say thanks for making all your hockey training videos. From Caleb. "

                Hey Jeremy, I love this site, when i was a kid growing up in michigan i was always on the ice, i even took skating lessons in Switzerland while on vacation and they said i was a natural, and a phenomenal skater. But i moved when i was 7 to California to an area where hockey was not popular at all, and it was a two hour drive to the closest ice rink in San Jose, needless to say i didnt get many opportunities to get on the ice. After all these years im now 24 and i am living in an area where we have a local ice rink, i am trying to get back into playing hockey, and your site (and youtube channel) provide so much help refreshing my knowledge, and teaching me new techniques i never had the chance to learn. Thank you! And keep up the great work!

                " Hey man I’m a 43 year old father of two who just started skating and playing hockey for the first time in my life a little over a year ago. I have tried to devour every one of your videos because they’re great “dummies guides to hockey”. Absolutely love how you break down the mechanics of everything. I’ll never be as good as my 9 year old but hey, I can dream… "

                Hey Jeremy, Just came across your videos while researching “how to” stuff for my son. I played competitively all my life but some knowledge( how to shoot with these flexy sticks) eludes me. Thanks for the help. With four boys all playing hockey you’ll be hearing from me often.

                " Hey Jeremy, You’ve done a wonderful thing in putting your knowledge and skills down as texts and videos for other, less privileged players to learn from. I live in South Australia so the worst of our winters are rain and wind at around 8 degrees Celsius. Playing hockey here can be a very expensive venture. I played inline when I was a teenager and left it to pursue other things when I hit 16. I’m now 33 and even though I had a deep passion for the game, it only surfaced 6 months ago. I finally bought my skates about 3 weeks ago with a stick and gloves. Wasn’t going cheap with anything but your info on cheap vs expensive was very helpful. Next season I will begin playing for the C grade here. But in the meantime, I will get as many of your practice drills in as I can to up my game, and try to get some ice time too (you can imagine how rare that can be in a place that doesn’t freeze). Thank you for being the first major person to do these kinds of videos and tutorials. I’m not starting from scratch, but I’m definitely out of touch and this is the best way to get training from North America without going there. You’re a legend in the making. "

I’m just starting out in the 35 years + group, still really working on skating skills. One of my kiddos loves hockey as I do too. I explained to him your “how to hockey stop” video and he got it down in hardly any time at all! Anyway, thanks for all you do and for sharing your passion with us. I appreciate you! ~JoAnne =) "

Now I'm going to start playing in a league, and I learned all my skills from your videos. I have a friend who's been playing for years that says that I could be a first liner by the way I play for a rookie. I only trained this much thanks to your videos "
