Cool New Site: The Hockey Community

Miscellaneous
"The Hockey Community" categorizes all of the "hockey happenings" in your local area. A few weeks ago I was introduced to a new hockey site that has the potential to make a serious impact on local hockey. The main idea behind The Hockey Community is to merge all the rinks' schedules and the drop-in hockey games on the same website.

I believe that our young athletes can be taught to use structured attack systems from a very early age. The Attack Triangle Sequence is one of my favorite drills to begin teaching these concepts. Here's the diagram and explanation:     Attack Triangle Sequence Phase 1: 1. player (F1) leaves without puck, cuts across neutral zone 2. receives pass in stride 3. drives wide and shoots 4. after making the pass, first player in other line does the same thing Phase 2: 1. first player (F1) does same thing as in phase 1. 2. second player in…
