Timing and Support Tactics
Timing and Support: Two concepts that can greatly enhance a player’s ability to read and react!
Timing and Support are extremely important concepts for a hockey player to understand. Having a sound understanding of these key concepts will allow him to adjust to different coaching styles and systems, no matter what the positional set-up may be.
In this video, I show an example of timing, support, and multiple receiving zones, using a simple “swing” regroup. For a more extensive explanation of these concepts, check out Hockey Canada’s “Goals” video series 1 and 2. These videos can be purchased at http://breakaway.hockeycanada.ca/
ENJOY!

This video on support & timing during a regroup nails it right on the head! You’ve kept it simple and your ability to talk and use the drilldraw tool makes this easy to follow along. I would feel very comfortable showing this to players.

thanks man – glad it was useful. timing and support play into EVERYTHING (as you can see in the videos i posted today on offensive attack: http://weisstechhockey.com/blog/coaches-training-course/
a good understanding of timing and support tactics will allow players to “improvise” properly––making good decisions in any situation using any system!
had to watch it twice but i got it
Very well done Jeremy. This concept can be made quite difficult to understand even by Bantam / Midget players. I feel your video and explaination simplifies it to a much younger group,say Atom Rep. With a few variations even the younger players wouldn’t realize the valuble lesson being learned here when turning it into a game of fun.
Great Work
