Theme of the practice was to improve puck handling technique, man to man coverage, recognition of the situation, D to D hinge, regroup and compete. I made up two new transition games DT400 which is a game in one end with extra players waiting for a pass.One game was to put the regroup and hinge into a game situation and the other was to vary the game play situation between 1-1 to 3-3. The coach told the next group how many would attack 1, 2 or 3 and defenders have to recognize and communicate. I have attached the practice plan as well as a pdf of the hinge practice with video links to Detroit and Swedes practicing the D to D.
