Tom,

I will post a few things. Aside from Dusan's stuff, there were two (out of three) interesting dryland physical training demos on a dynamic warmup and some stability exercises. (The classroom sessions about these were fairly boring, above the heads of the average HCSA coach, and could have been skipped in my opinion.) The other off ice classroom session and demo was essentially an infomercial for Nike and was football-based (and biased – not appropriate / valid for hockey).

The two other on ice demos were irrelevant (a checking clinic where there was 15 minutes of motion and 45 minutes of standing around) and a biomechanical shooting demo with expensive high-speed cameras and software that cost $4000+ (plus even more standing around.)

So like many conferences, you have to filter lots of chaff to get to the grain!
