Michigan Tech 1 on 1 Drill

Michigan Tech 1 on 1 Drill

The Michigan Tech 1 on 1 Drill is fantastic for working gap control, passing, agility skating, and many other skills! This is one of my favorite 1 on 1 drills because you can use it to work on so many different skills. Make sure your forwards swing fairly deep into the zone to receive the breakout pass. This will allow the opposing defenseman time to close the gap properly and play the 1 on 1 the way he or she should in a game. Also, make sure your defensemen get outside the blue line... that gap MUST be closed, and the defensemen need to be able to get their speed up quickly after the pivot. Here's the diagram: Michigan Tech 1 on 1 1. On whistle, 2 forwards and 2…

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Goalie Drills at Weiss Tech Hockey!!

Goalie, Half Ice Drills, Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills
Weiss Tech Hockey now has goalie drills (scroll down for a sample)!! I'll be honest with you... I don't have a clue when it comes to training goalies! I can tell them a few basic things that are going wrong, or what openings I'm seeing as a shooter, but I generally have no idea how to get them to FIX it. This has been a bit of a dilemma for me on the blog... seeing as how many of you have requested I make a section on GOALIE DRILLS over the past couple of years. Well... the waiting is over! I would like to introduce you to Mr. Dennis Hands. Dennis is a great hockey guy, who has the same passion for the game as I do, but with some…

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…
