Aberdeen, I posted the German version of the ABC manual two. It is 90% the same. The manual I send has a little more material and more diagrams for the Team Play section and the Transition Game section in the last two levels.

It is the philosophy that matters. The drills and games are EXAMPLES of what the coach can do. Efficient use of the ice is very important as well as the role games have in teaching the game.

Everything is based on the Four Game Playing Roles and the Three Game Situations. I think it is critical for coaches to understand these roles in order to go through them progressively and see how they Interrelate in a program that develops a Complete Hockey Player.
