B6 3-0 With Multiple Pucks
Key Points:
This is an exercise to overload the nervous system.
Make eye contact before passing and make good firm passes.
Description:
1. Players are in 3 lines below the goal lines in each end.
2. Pass 2 pucks while filling the 3 lanes and then regroup with players at the far end and pass the 2 pucks back to the original end and then shoot both on the net, allowing the goalie to get set between shots.
3. Group at the opposite end leave after they have passed to the original group.
4. When the players are good with 2 pucks progress to passing 3 pucks.
* A good routine is to pass 3 pucks the first turn, then 2 pucks, then a 3 man weave with one puck, then add one defense and regroup with him, then add 2 defense and regoup with them and then add another regroup passing first time to one of the D and second time to the other.

B6 Jursi Skate-Pass-Shoot
Key Points:
This is a drill that Russian Olympic coach Vladimir Jursinov used when I was coaching with him in Austria. The goal is to get players to practice passing and shooting while they skate. Puck handling-passing-shooting should be seamless.
Description:
1. A and B skate down the ice in passing while skating.
2. A is on the inside and continues on with a shot while skating.
3. B pivots facing the puck and continues the other direction passing to C.
4. B shoots and C partners with D the other way.
# This can be done in tandem on both sides of the ice.

PDF of the Wednesday practice. Cassie Campbell is the guest coach and will run the warm-up and help with the rest of practice. It is posted below. Bit of a blizzard outside now but I haven't got any cancellations because of the weather. If you don't come when the weather is bad in our winter you would miss a lot of practices.
Post practice comment:
Cassie came to practice last night. She brought autographed player cards for each of the players and gave them out in the dressing room before practice. She leaves for Sochi this weekend and is excited but a little nervous, as is everyone becuase of the terrorist threats.
She ran a skills circuit the first 20 minutes that had three stations and then she joined in on the next two skill drills. We divided into 4 teams for a one zone game at each end. We had 15 skaters so she played for one of the teams to give us 4 groups of 4. On the 1-1 and 2-1 I had her talk with the defensemen about how to play these situations and then she joined them in the transition game. There was one point shot drill she helped the girl's with and then a point shot game that she participated in.
I changed the last part of practice to all games because she was supposed to only stay for one hour and our practice was 90 minutes. I could see she was loving to play in the games and she ended up staying the entire 90 min. and afterwards she offered to come out and help when the Olympics are over. I hope we win some play-off rounds and are still active when she gets back.
Overall a great guest coach.
