Tom MolloyFlyers Practice Plan – 31-01-13 Time: 17:15-18:45 – ECTAS
Themes:
Power Play, backchecking, D join rush Transition, goalie instruction, puck handling, 4 game playing roles scoring
7 min. – Tom, Kevin one end each
D4 Two Pass – Swiss U20
Key Points:
My favorite game to warm-up the players at the start of practice. The quicker they make the passes after regaining the puck the more scoring chances they produce. This video shows the Swiss U20 Team playing 2 Pass as a warm-up.
Description:
1. Players must stay inside the blueline and if they puck goes out the other team gets it.
2. Before scoring the offensive team must make at least two passes.
3. When the defenders regain the puck they must make at least two passes before a shot.
4. Make rules with skills for skating, shooting, passing or good habits. So the game is a template to either use as itself or modify rules to cause the players to do skills or moves within a game situation.

12 min. Tom G, Kevin K pp. each end.
T2 Kingston Power Play and Team Play Rotation
Key Points:
Practice options where every player gets a shot. Begin with a rotation attacking the seam between the D and the F and read what they give. If the D forces then the low play is available, if the F forces then the point is open. If the pk box is passive then there is a 2-1 at each corner, a 3-2 on each side and seams between players to attack. Force the pace by taking a shot by a different player every 3 seconds. Coach in each zone
Description:
– Line A at one end practice attack options.
– Line B at other end practice attack options. Both walk through pp 5-0.
– Line C in middle passing practice.
– On whistle line A dump the puck to the other end and breakout returning to the original end while group C replace group B at the far end and group B pass in the neutral zone.
– Repeat with group C breaking out and back and group B switch with group A who move to the middle.

DT100 Continuous 3-3 With Passive Support

DT100 Backchecking Transition Game
Key Points:
Attack quickly and the defender tie up the stick on the rebound then look for the puck.
Description:
Full ice game with the defenders getting support. New attackers have to get the breakout pass inside their zone. This works on quick passes and attack or the backchecker catches up. The backchecker must tie up sticks on the rebound and don't allow a second shot. The attacker must be quick and follow the shot. Defender make a breakout pass to the supporting player in the high slot.

———————————
Weekend games. We played the team we will play in the semi finals in three weeks. They are in third and us in second. We both have a first round bye. They have a pretty good team with one of the top three players in the league. She is always dangerous. We played the Pounce the first game and the Tsunami the second. Both games we outshot them about 30-20 but lost the first 2-1 and won the second 5-1. They have a lot more trouble when we really pressure them. I switched who played RD with our more offensive D in the second game.
I will attach the shot and +/- charts from our last 4 games. We were 2-2. The game vs. Edmonton we were missing all of our captains and were not competitive.
