hockeygodI think you mean by silence the Game Sense approach. Where you don't shout nonstop to player what they should do. Players are allowed to make their own choices and mistakes.
Netball, basketball and soccer are invasion games just like ice hockey. So they share same "laws of nature".
The book reference for off ice games and modified games to on ice.I'm really working hard to shut up……
Kai, you are 100% right! "When you don't shout non-stop to a player what they should do". EXACTLY! Let them make mistakes and learn from them. Smart players learn more quickly…

FIGURE IT OUT
As in, let the players figure it out!
Yes, all of the above are invasion games, so they share similar laws of nature. Although American / Canadian football is a scripted sport with lots of discrete breaks in the play, players would still benefit from training with Game Sense and silence! Most 'athletes' would!
And hey, I am not perfect either. I still find myself having to work hard at shutting up… more often! I am a product of my upbringing under all of those coaches who used to yell non-stop! (Although I just try to keep it to cheering now…)
