Video of Swedish Youth Hockey Practice
I took my college women's team to Scandanavia a few years ago. We played in Finland and on New Years sailed across the Baltic from Helsinki to Stockholm. That was quite a trip with 1500 Russian tourists on the ship but a story for another place.
Anders Ottossom is a development coach for the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation and he drove about 4 hours to meet us. While there he was asked to run a skills practice for a 13 year old boy's team. I filmed the practice and interviewed Anders after and he explains what he did and why.
The Swedes are known for their skill and this practice demonstrates how the combine games for skill with skill drills and transition games with situation drills to created realistice situations. Anders would have used a shootout if he had time, so I added it to the practice template.
TC Whiteboard has a practice template that I have posted here and in the files section. It can be used to make practice plans with the explanation and diagram pasted.
A coach could save the diagrams I post in this forum and cut and paste the explanations to the template. If you use the search function at the top of the page you can quickly find the drills and games. I will attach a Word and a pdf file of the practice plan.
There is a video of the entire practice which starts with Anders explaining the practice. It is in the video section Practices using the ABC method.
My college women are doing the warm up to music while the practice is going on. We played an exhibition game after the practice.
