Kaden Galatiuk from Texas, USA, flew all the way to Italy to break a world record in front of a large audience, playing the sport he loves, hockey! 🏒
On the set of our Italian TV show Lo Show Dei Record, he achieved the most hockey pucks hit into a target on inline skates in one minute with 38 pucks.
Have you ever played hockey?
Keep reading – Kaden will teach us how to saucer pass like a pro! 🤩
But first, let’s see him in action…
Kaden is 12 years old, but he started skating when he was only 2!
“Then I started playing hockey when I was about 3 and a half, 4,” he told us.
He was inspired by his dad, who used to be a goalie and taught him everything he knows.
🤔 So what does a day in Kaden’s life look like?
“The average day is probably 6 hours of training,” he explained.
“I wake up at 5, then I have a skating session at 6 a.m. […], then I do school and then I have an off ice training session with one of my personal trainers.
“And then I go on the ice for another power skating session. Then I go home, have a little rest, and then I go and shoot 1,000 pucks every day.”
1,000 pucks is truly mind-blowing, isn’t it?! 🤯
Hockey is a team sport and, according to Kaden, the team’s morale is really important:
“If you get in a fight with your teammate then you may be mad at each other in the next game. Things won’t go well and you’ve just got to be together.”
Being part of a team not only makes playing sports more fun, but it also teaches us valuable lessons about supporting each other and working together in all aspects of life! ❤️
Do you prefer playing in a team or by yourself?
Kaden is an amazing hockey player because he loves the game so much:
“It’s my passion. It’s my drive. I love it.”
If you haven’t already, follow Kaden’s example and try to find a hobby that you truly love – then you’ll have something that will bring you joy every day.
🔎 But what is a saucer pass in hockey?
Basically, instead of sliding the puck along the ice, you make it fly through the air a little bit, so it's harder for the other team to catch. It's a cool way to pass the puck to your teammate!
And now, here are Kaden’s 3 simple steps to learning how to saucer pass like a pro:
Remember, practice makes perfect!
Congratulations, Kaden, we can’t wait to see you become a famous pro hockey player. 😎
Until then, enjoy your world record title – you are Officially Amazing!
