T2 - B202 - Four Chamber Attack – College

Key Points:


Attack on the rush has moved from the Offensive Triangle to the Middle Drive and now at the higher levels the Four Chambers. Instead of having a 1-1 on the strong side the offense creates a 2-1 on the widest defender. The player in the middle lane goes hard to the net and the fourth attacker trails high on the weak side. This is one way to practice attacking with the 4 Chambers.

Description:

A. Players are in two lines facing each other across the neutral zone.
B. Stage one: 1 pass across to 2 and pivot in outside chamber for a return pass, skate in and shoot.
C. Stage two: 1 pass to 2 outside and join attack in the faceoff dot chamber.
D. Stage three: 1 pass to 2 and join while 3 from the other line goes hard to the net in the middle chamber.
E. Stage four: 1-2-3 repeat while 4 joins as a trailer down the weak side chamber.
F. Fifth attacker support from the point.
G. Repeat the other way.

* Players 1-2 attack the widest defender and can cross and drop, 1 skate to the inside and pass to the outside to 2 who crosses and takes the ice behind, 1 chip and 2 chase, etc. Important that 2 skates hard and takes a defender with him.

*In the drill this happens at both ends as shown in the video.

C600 2-1 x 2 – Finish Play - Pro

Key Points:

Offense should attack with speed and force the D to make a decision early by the first play near the blue line. This allows for a second play. D should delay the attack as much as possible and defend the most dangerous player allowing a bad angle shot. D tie up the stick of the most dangerous attacker after the shot, then look for the puck.

Description:

1. Red D1 pass to Blue F1.
2. Blue F1 and F2 cross in the neutral zone and attack Red D1 2 on 1.
3. Blue F1 and F2 continue until they score, the goalie freezes the puck or D makes a breakout pass.
4. Red D1 defend and pass to the coach when they get the puck.
5. Coach mirror the play for a pass from the D.
6. The D starting the next rush or a F who just attacked could support and then start the next rush.

This is the same drill but the coach allows the players to watch and decide when to start the next 2-1. It starts when the play is over at either end, so players must be alert and engaged. Much more of a player centred approach. The coach can now coach instead of being a traffic cop.

C600 – 2-1 x 2 – Player directed.

Czech-Russia-Slovakia Practice Ideas

The three countries used to be in the Soviet bloc and they share a similar philosophy in how to practice hockey.

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AukXg5gWoW-9hK0mv-TC9ioD6JKDIg

I have done clinics with Jursinov and coached with him in Salzburg. I coached with Slavamir Lener at the University of Calgary and am meeting Czech skills coach Tomas Pacina in about 90'. The drills that my players are doing are ones I learned from the international coaches I have worked with. The other ones I took videos of while they were practicing.
