Home Hockey Training Objectives and Considerations
This is the 3rd of 3 intro videos for the Home Hockey Training Center. Check out the first two videos before moving on to this one. Here are the links to videos 1 and 2:
Before you start putting together your Home Hockey Training Center, it’s important to have a game plan. Here’s an example of the things I thought were important considerations for my situation. I think this list is a good start, but I’m sure there are other considerations that might fit different scenarios:
Age: older players are bigger and stronger, which may have implications on how sturdy the equipment needs to be, and how much space you’ll need
Ability: more advanced players will have more advanced needs, which could affect what types of equipment you’ll need
Space: self-explanatory… you need a place to put everything!
Objectives: what are the main skills you’re looking to develop? what equipment best fits those needs?
Budget: if you’re like me, you’re ok with investing in your skill development, as long as the value is there
Once you’ve mapped out your game plan, then the fun begins! Time to start picking and choosing what you’re going to put in your Home Hockey Training Center. That’s where I’m hoping this course will come in useful.

Over the past few weeks I’ve posted a few of my favorite half-ice hockey drills. I’ve had some really good response, and a few of our readers even sent me some of their favorite half-ice drills as well… THANKS!!
This drill is from Petri Väisänen (from Finland), and is a fantastic half-ice drill. One of the reasons I like this one so much is that it’s very customizable––you can create multiple variations to fit lots of different game situations. I show a few of these variations in the video, but feel free to get creative on this one!

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.
