Use the 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck to trap your opponent in his zone

The 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck is a great forecheck to add to your hockey systems repertoire. When executed correctly, it is effective at all levels of play, from youth all the way up through Junior and College level hockey.

The key to making this forechecking system work is to have everybody know, understand, and execute their roles properly. When this happens, the 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck works similarly to a neutral zone trap – except that it happens in the offensive zone!

Enjoy!

Off-Ice Skill Development Strategy

This is the 2nd of 3 intro videos for the Home Hockey Training Center. Check out the first video before watching this one. Here are the links to videos 1 and 3:

• Video 1: Course Overview
• Video 3: Objectives and Considerations

There are certain hockey skills that can very realistically be developed away from the rink, and then there are some that don’t work quite as well. You can gain an advantage over your opponent by practicing as many skills as possible off the ice. This video breaks down which skills can (and should) be worked on away from the rink, and gives a quick overview of how you might want to strategize your off-ice training plans.

The main hockey skills that can be developed at home are as follows:

1. Shooting
2. Stickhandling
3. Passing Technique
4. Some Skating Elements

Then there are a few physical performance items that should be worked on at home as well:

1. Agility
2. Strength
3. Explosiveness

With the cost of ice so high, developing your hockey abilities at home is a cheap, and extremely effective way to improve your game!

Well… It’s that time of year again!

Hockey season is winding down, and it’s time to start strategizing your off-season. The off-season can be a time to make HUGE gains with respect to your Speed, Strength, and Size!

So, to kick it all off, I’ve put together a 3-part mini-series on off-ice training for hockey. You can check it out here:

I look at the off-season as a chance to put some distance between me and my competition. A chance to pick up an advantage, or to gain an edge over my opponent, or in some cases, a teammate with whom I might be competing for a top spot!

I’m sure you’re going to enjoy the videos – I’ve had a blast putting them all together for you!

The S3 Formula In-Season Program is now available… Here’s a sneak peak inside!!

Here is a new video giving you a “sneak peak” inside the S3 Formula members’ area. Incase I haven’t made it clear enough, using the S3 Formula gives you a HUGE advantage over your opponent. Here’s a little experiment to try…

Next time you’re in the locker room, ask your players to raise their hands if they work out on their own at least once per week, now ask them to keep their hands raised if they work out twice or more per week. Surprised..?

On average, most teams only have 1-2 players who make it to the weight room with ANY form of consistency… let alone executing a true SCIENCE-BASED, HOCKEY-SPECIFIC, strength and conditioning program!

If these numbers hold true for your team, they most likely hold true for the other teams in your league… TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND PUNISH YOUR OPPONENT FOR HIS LAZINESS!

You know what to do… let’s get going on this before your opponent does! Click here to register today:
