Green Biscuit Among the Top 20 Products of Walmart's "On the Shelf" Contest Green Biscuit has made it to the Top 20 of Walmart's "On the Shelf" contest. This is awesome news for Green Biscuit and for our game as a whole! I wanted to take a minute and fill you in on how the competition works, what's already happened, and where it goes from here. Here we go! On the Shelf The competition started back in July--Walmart asked people to submit their products.

Post-Up Regroup in Action

Post-Up Regroup in Action

Neutral Zone, Team Systems
Post-Up Regroup in Action Hey... this systems stuff actually works! We talk a lot of theory here on the blog, but I also like to show what our systems look like in action from time to time, and the Leafs had a text-book execution of our Post-Up Regroup, which led to a goal by Kadri. Let's take a look at some of the key points of the Post-Up Regroup: Post-Up Regroup 1. Defensemen pick up the puck in the NZ and drag skate to open ice 2. Both wingers position themselves on the boards at the far blue line for an outlet pass 3. Center reads the puck movement, and provides middle support to whichever winger receives the pass 4. If the opposing Defenseman "bites" on the winger, he can…

The SportScreen

The SportScreen

Hockey Equipment, Off-ice Training, Skills
The SportScreen is an Awesome Product to Save Your Garage Obviously, I do a lot of hockey training from home. So far, things have been great. My kids are improving (and so am I), and the equipment I've been working with is holding up great! However, I had one vulnerability in my set-up. I have a wall in the basement with two windows. If I ring the puck off the post just right, it ricochets off and hits the window (it has already happened a few times). When I heard about SportScreen, I immediately thought it could be an excellent solution for my window issue... I was right! Unboxing the SportScreen: When you unbox your SportScreen, I recommend opening the instructions and doing a quick inventory. There are quite a…

Looking for a Solution to Stinky Gear? Check out OdorBalance

Hockey Equipment
OdorBalance Worked for Me... Here's The Story I recently had the chance to test out a new cleaning product for sports gear. It's called OdorBalance, and it worked really well! When I first heard from the folks down at OdorBalance, I admit I was skeptical. I really didn't think anything could touch the stink in my gear... basically, I had two doubts: RASHES: My mom used to wash my gear when I was a kid, and it would always give me a rash the first few times after being washed. After a few times of this happening, I finally asked her to stop. For me, I was more ok with stinking than having a rash from the detergent STUBBORN STENCH: Since the time my mom agreed to stop washing my…

Pavel Datsyuk End-to-End Goal: Dissected

Pavel Datsyuk End-to-End Goal: Dissected

Coaches' Corner, Defensive Zone, Neutral Zone, Offensive Zone, Philosophy, Team Systems
Pavel Datsyuk End-to-End Goal: Dissected In this post we're dissecting Pavel Datsyuk's end-to-end goal against Nashville. As great as the individual effort was, there are quite a few team details that really made this play possible. It starts with Datsyuk providing proper support for his defenseman in the defensive zone. He picks up the puck and initiates the breakout to the right winger. After making the breakout pass, he follows up the play, providing mid-lane support on the breakout. As the breakout is happening, the weak-side winger blows out of the zone, pushing the opposing defenseman back, which opens up space for Datsyuk to wheel. The play finishes with the opposing defenseman reaching for the puck, and Datsyuk eats him alive. Great individual effort, made possible by well-structured positional play.…
