Reply To: Statistics – Used for critical area’s on the ice

[Tom Molloy]

Rookie Coach, the three game situations and the four game playing roles are the language I use when talking to my teams or giving clinics or skill sessions. They are the template of the game and the pillars for planning practices to prepare to play the game.

We practice transition every ice time because if you are going to gain possession of the puck 180 times and lose possession 180 times then you better be ready to quickly move from offense to defense to racing and winning loose pucks. To be successful the players must have good habits and good technique and be able to skate with balance and control.

It is critical to understand what actually happens in a game before you can play effectively.
