1. Re: Transition Games Videos
Lucky me..Tom has been showing 1 v 1 videos for the last couple of days and .tomorrow night we are spending 15 minutes working on just that. Now I have 2 new drills to show the boys and can pretend that I am actually creative. To ...

2. Re: Transition Games Videos
The Rejo 1 v 1 is a nice drill and it can easily be expanded into a 2 v 1 or 2 v 2. If any of you guys use a Forward up top on the PP, it may be worth it to have him play the role ...

3. Re: Transition Games Videos
Dean The guys that you describe have survived years of drill oriented coaches and still made in to the top. Maybe they do not see anything wrong with the methodologies that got them there. As we all know, however, these players represent a small ...

4. Re: Warm up on ice before the game.
We have a little bit of a different view on a very minor point but here goes: In my mind, the only player who is mentally prepared to get hit with pucks in the pre-game is the goalie. The only one looking for body contact is the 'healthy ...

5. Re: Vastaliike Forecheck
Kai - This is terrific and I truly appreciate your work. To me, the central issue of Forechecking is this: ]Does your F2 pressure their D2 or F1 ? It is often a matter of reading and reacting. Kai has addressed ...

6. Vastaliike Forecheck
Just learned this term from our friend Kai ( and I'm kind of showing off ). During a forecheck, when the puck is played away from your F1, then F2 puts pressure on the puck as F1 skates back to center. My question is, how do you ...

7. Re: Warm up on ice before the game.
Our pre-game skate is pretty simple: D-Men pair up with the partner they are going to be playing with in Neutral Zone ~ starting from 12-15 feet apart, just throw pucks back and forth and work away from each other until each guy is near the boards 1st ...

8. Re: Transition Games Videos
In the video just shown the only thing different that I might try to make it a little more challenging (for the big kids) is putting a tip-in/screen/rebound guy down near the goalie. When we do this type of scoring drill I have the guys receive the pass as ...

9. Re: Transition Games Videos
Tom Thinking of something hockey related to say is just not working. I can't come up with a thing - I can only think of your son. In my life I have been involved in a lot of hockey games. None ...

10. Re: Transition Games Videos
Sorry, guys. I posted comments on today's video in the wrong place. it should have been in this thread. Maybe Tom or Dwight can just delete it. Anyway, this is what I said: Nice drill. Simple, yet effective. I would be tempted to ...

11. Re: Transition Games Videos
DMan - First of all, thank you for the ebook. There are a few concepts in here that are very appealing...one in particular is the Mid Ice Breakout on page 44. With only minor tinkering, like sliding one of the nets back to ...

12. Re: Transition Games Videos
Hockey Canada does have "Transition from Practice to Game' by Erkka Westerlund. It is a video along with the book and it lists for $20.. Even with the shipping and handling charges that sounds like a really good deal. However, iIt takes 2-3 weeks before you actually receive ...

13. Re: Transition Games Videos
Tom - I don't know why the other team had such a hard time scoring against your goalie....apparently you didn't have any problem doing so. ( Hope you laughed ) Kia - Is there a way for anyone to get their hands on the Westerlund book ...

14. Re: Transition Games Videos
Tom I agree that educating the coaches on the upside of SAG's is an issue that needs to be addressed. That they allow the game to be the teacher is also sorely needed. In my experience with USA Hockey, there was never a ...

15. Re: Transition Games Videos
This is going to be a little bit off topic, but....I watched a High School team practice last night and it was difficult to sit through. Meaningless cookie-cutter drills, no flow , no sequence, and absolutely no game like conditions. There is a lot of work ...

16. Re: Transition Games Videos
Just want to make sure that I have this right. The Daily Drill section if for diagrams and videos. Comments and thoughts on them are made separately. If that is correct then I only need to learn how to start a new thread. I'm pretty ...

17. Re: Season Plan
Attached is a Planner for the first 10 practices and first 5 games. Usually I waited until try outs were finished and had some idea of what the team looked like but this is my first year using the ABC's so I am leaving some time for corrections and ...

18. Re: Season Plan
In addressing the earlier of these two posts, I have usually been a 'fly by the seat of your pants' guy when it came to practice. Sometimes it worked...certainly not always. In this part of the country ice time is not easy to come by, nor is it ...

19. Re: Videos of the camp in the Czech Republic
I remember him, probably because he was referred to as the 'other Petr Svoboda'. Can't wait to see the video. I work late tomorrow and this will give me something to look forward to.

20. Re: Video of the camp in the Czech Republic
Just watched this video for the second time - it is still appears that they took the on-ice far more seriously than the off-ice. Also, if you only watched the on-ice, you may never suspect how young these kids are. Are these boys part of a Tier I ...

21. Re: Czech Hockey Camp
Kai I appreciate your suggestion and will probably put it to use. As far as try-outs are concerned, picking the top 6 Forwards and top 4 D-Men is easy. Picking out the bottom of the group is not difficult either. It is the ...

22. Re: Great off ice video by Ludek Bukac
Jarda, That is a really nice video. For me, certain elements would make for an excellent pre-practice routine. While dry land training is important - it can also be boring. Just as the ABC's made practice more exciting and more meaningful - ...
