Reply To: Game Intelligence / Decision Training

I attended the Hockey Canada Skills Academy training seminar this past week. Almost 100 coaches from across Canada came to Calgary to attend lectures and to take part in ice and dryland sessions.

The best session was a Czech coach (now living in Toronto) who teaches skills. He made many good comments about how 'coaches should do their job and make players better through their understanding of the game, prioritizing what is important (skills and games), and GROW PLAYERS… don't just recruit players'!

I will post his name once I go through my notes.

He did a great off-ice talk and on-ice demo with all the coaches.
