What’s up guys! I do a monthly coaches meeting for one of our local leagues here in Utah… We decided to try this month’s meeting online instead of having everyone spend another night at the rink. I’ve had a couple of requests to see the meeting, so I figured I’d post it here. Keep in mind, some of the stuff we’re talking about is specific to our organization, but there’s still some good discussion in here.
Hockey Small Area Games Drills can be a great way to add competition and intensity to your practices
Try using hockey small area games drills to simulate various game situations your players will encounter. This one helps to reenforce shooting and crashing the net for rebounds, as well as odd man play and battles. As always, click here for the printout.
Remember, as you progress into hockey body checking drills, to stress that the purpose of body checking in hockey is to separate the man from the puck. To do this effectively, players need a strong base in the following areas:
“Raw” Skating Ability
Agility
Body Positioning (Angling, Gap Control, etc…)
Stick Positioning
Make the Hit
This video shows a simple drill to work on angling with your players. As always, click here for a printout to bring with you to the rink.
Simple and effective hockey breakout drills use progressions to teach recurring breakout patterns.
Many hockey situations occur in patterns. This simple hockey breakout drill breaks down these patterns into their simplest form, then puts them back together in sequence to mimic a game situation. CLICK HERE for the printout.
