Breakout, Regroup, Regroup, Attack Drill

Breakouts, Hockey Drills, Regroups, Team Systems Drills

A very versatile drill to work on Breakouts, Regroups, and Attacks Since finishing up our Coaches' Training Course, a few people have asked about different ways of practicing some of the systems we discussed in the course. This drill is in response to the questions about practicing breakouts and regroups. The "Breakout, Regroup, Regroup, Attack Drill" is extremely versatile, and can be used to work on a number of different game situations. After your team gets good at it, try throwing in a forechecker (or two). You can designate where and how you want the forechecking pressure coming in, which will make your defensemen have to read and react to different scenarios. For a more detailed explanation of the Swing Regroup mentioned in this video, CLICK HERE Here's the diagram…

FREE COACHES TRAINING COURSE and DrillDraw Giveaway!

Coaches' Corner, Philosophy, Useful Products

YOU'RE INVITED... REGISTER TODAY!! Most competitive teams do some sort of pre-season training camp to ensure that the players are primed and ready to go as soon as the season starts. This is great, and I'm a firm believer in this strategy! Coaches must come to training camp with a plan, a goal, and a purpose if they intend to have any form of success during the regular season. We have developed a FREE Specialized Online Training Course for Hockey Coaches, that will give them a chance to think about, and plan their seasons so they can hit the ground running come training camp. The course will last 2 weeks and will be done via blog posts with videos, written instruction, and downloads. Here are a few of the topics…

Full-Ice Odd-Man-Rush Drill What's up guys!! I got an interesting email the other day from Mika from Australia. Because of the size of his local rink, and the limited number of players there, they play 3 on 3 (which sounds like a blast to me!). Anyways, he asked if I had any drills that focused on 3-man set-ups and game situations... this drill immediately came to mind! It's a great drill for imitating odd-man rush scenarios, and is also GREAT conditioning for the forwards. Here's the explanation and diagram: 3 on 0, 3 on 1, 3 on 2 1. Forwards in one bench, Defensemen in the other 2. On whistle, 3 Forwards swing low and receive a breakout pass from the Coach, then attack 3 on 0 3. After a…
