Kai, Great work that you put together here. Your stats go with the thread – Statistics in critical area's also.

Your work proves the comments and statistic's that were posted there.

Team Sweden sure took advantage of that 3 sec stat .

The time for it takes for a team to recover (approx) on a turnover.

Team Sweden were a very highly skilled team. But the quick puck movement forward was great to watch.

How can or should we make changes in Minor Hockey in this area ?

Most coaches understand the importance of transition , but don't know how to teach it.

We can yell at players in practice to" move the puck faster it's all about transition" , but how can we teach this so the players understand it ?

There is some great information on this site , but if the coaches don't understand it they won't use it.

I know what Tom and Dean are thinking because they understand how to do this.

Can we teach this to the players or let the Game teach the Game.
The average coach doesn't understand how to put it all together in a yearly plan . So how can we help each other or should we make changes in how we teach as coaches?
