Pro Game Day Practice 3-9-17

Key Points:

Players know the drills before practice and go from one to the other. Players and coaches move the pucks together. No one goes to the board as the coach simply calls out the next drill. This is a routine that the players learn. Two teams have the ‘Black Aces’ who won’t play that night do skills and conditioning.

Description:

1. Breakout 5-0 at both ends, do a rep from each side and have the goalie handle the puck.
2. Shots from three lanes.
3. Small horseshoe 1-1; do both and then change sides.
4. Dump in and breakout 3-0, regroup and attack 2-1, then repeat at the other end.
5. Individual and partner skills: point shots, face-offs, cut in and score, goalie warm-up, edges, passing, attack 4-0 with options, conditioning skate.

PDF’s of Drills and Games for Practice – One Drive

These are the PDF's of hockey practice ideas that I have put together over the last ten years. Ideas from every level; pro men to boy's, pro women to girl's. North America and European teams. They can be sorted multiple ways. Refer to the document that explains the coding system used to organize the material to make it easy to find what you want.

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AukXg5gWoW-9pEfeVWbIL9YG0crr


Video Clips of Drills and Games for Practice


These also can be sorted in various ways. These videos also cover every gender and age and hockey level. If you don't like the ideas at least you can see how the rest of the hockey world practices the game. I wish I had video from the over 800 hours I coached Korean school, university and pro teams from 1988-97.

https://1drv.ms/f/s!FukXg5gWoW-9ck5tNjJaWHF4ZEt3JAw

I know that there is a lot of hockey material on the internet now. This isn't meant to compete with any other source. Juhani Wahlsten and myself have been trying to influence coaches together since 1985 and Juhani since 1974 to run more efficient and enjoyable practices based on two themes: 'Enjoy the Game' and 'The Game is the Greatest Coach.'

In Europe they have used 'Games to Team the Game' for a long time. Soccer is the main sport in most countries and the games model has been part of that sport for a long time. Some countries more than others. The idea is gaining traction in North America with the USA taking the lead and Canada being dragged behind like a screaming unruly child.

It is great to use SAG's like cross ice 3-3 but with rule modifications like everyone must get a pass or you must make an escape move when you get the puck you can use them to teach players how to use their skills within game situations.

Transition games use only one puck and no whistles. They are a natural progression for game situation drills 1-1 to 3-2. Players flow into the game situation either actively or passively and you can practice every situation for individual and team skill.

The first coach I saw using these was Vladimir Jursinov the famous Russian and Soviet multiple Olympic coach. Erkka Westerlund the Finnish Olympic coach produced a booklet and video for Hockey Canada on how to use Transition games. Some NHL coaches like Mike Babcock and Glen Gulutzan use them on a regular basis but not as much as they could.

T2-4 - Power Play-Penalty Kill Sequence – Pro

Key Points:

Develop a power play that fits the skill of each five player unit. Practice the Diamond 1-3-1 both from the blue line and below the goal line. Defend from the net out, stop and start, stick on puck and in the passing lanes. Swarm when the offense doesn’t have control along the boards. Weak side forward fall under and cover the middle attacker. Power play create shooting lanes, screen, crash for rebounds.

Description:

1. Start with an offensive zone face-off and run one option 5-0.
2. Breakout from the far end vs. penalty killers 5-4.
3. Use controlled breakouts for each group.
4. Penalty killers come off the bench to defend against the breakout.
5. Power play versus penalty kill.

* Breakout with a double swing and five attack.

* Breakout in the three lanes and two forwards swing behind for a trailer pass and attack late, these players attack the static defense and carry in, pass to each other or the wide players at the blue line.

* Aggressive penalty kill when the puck is loose or the attackers back is turned.

* Option one is to have the wide players on their forehand side for one timers.

* Option two is to have a passing PP with right and left handed shots on the right and left sides.

* Rotate positions and keep moving.

* Defender stay with the puck carrier but do not chase passes.

* Play a 4-4 on the strong side and deny the cross ice pass with sticks in the lane.

* Many teams give the goalie the walk out player jam and cover the other four.

* Power play create confusion with quick puck movement, switches and back door options, outnumber the defenders on rebounds.

* A coach can use this sequence to practice from 3-3 to 5-5.

T2-4 - Low 3-2 - 5-5 Rush - 5-5 – Pro

Key Points:

This is an effective way to do walk through’s of both offensive and defensive team play. You could do situations 3-3 to 5-5. An option is to have one forward low and defend 3-3 and make a breakout pass to the two other forwards, this would get either that F or the D as the third man on the rush. Attack with a middle lane drive and the fourth attacker as the trailer in a diamond.

Description:

Start at one end with the resting players waiting along the boards and the active players in position.
1. Start with a low 3-2 while the defending team forwards wait to attack 3-2 the other way.
2. Start the new 3-2 on the whistle.
3. One D join the rush as the trailer.
4. Defending forwards backtrack and F1 play the low 3-3, F2 back to the mid-slot, F3 cover the strong side point.
5. Play 5-5 until the attack is finished.
6. Coach spot a new puck and play a second 5-5.

*Coach instruct on either the offensive or team play.
