Penalty kill forecheck and 4 on 4 philosophies

In this post we discuss a little 4 on 4 philosphy, and outline a forecheck that can be used in a 4 on 4 situation as well as on the penalty kill. Like I always say – there are many different opinions when it comes to hockey systems, and many correct ways of doing things… often the right way depends on the strengths and weaknesses of your team. The concepts in this video have worked well for me in the past… feel free to apply them how you see fit for your own team. Also, click here for a printout you can bring to the rink with you.

One of my favorite hockey shooting drills. Simple to set up, but teaches some profound concepts.

This could be one of the most basic hockey shooting drills out there… but it is also one of the most effective because of the concepts that can be applied. Click here for a printout you can bring to the rink with you.

Cheers!

This video shows my favorite feature of DrillDraw… sharing your Hockey Drills!

DrillDraw is a great program for a lot of different reasons (as you’ve already seen in Video 1 and Video 2 of our DrillDraw series). However, one of my favorite features in DrillDraw is the ability to Import and Export your Hockey Drills, Practice Plans, and even Entire Drill Banks! Imagine how useful this is when used in a coaching staff, a hockey organization, or even to share drills with other coaches from around the world!

As a special bonus to Weiss Tech Hockey readers, we are offering a FREE TRIAL of our DrillDraw Monthly Expander Pack – which will automatically send you 5 new drills per month in DrillDraw file format. This service will keep your Drill Bank growing with the simple click of a button! The service is offered on our DrillDraw purchase page, but you have to register for it separately once you have DrillDraw.
