**I took my college women's team to Scandanavia in 2006 and we played teams from Finland and Sweden. Anders drove across the country to meet me and discuss coaching ideas. He was asked to run a skills practice while there and I filmed it. I have the entire practice in the video section but am breaking down the various ideas the next few days to show how skills can be learned using games, drills, instruction, transition games, etc. and to demonstrate how a small country with not that many players produces such skilled players who often lead the NHL in scoring (Sedin, Forsberg)

'Enjoy the Game'A2-A200 Puck Handling and Skating Practice from Finland
1. A200 formation and Yashin leads the big moves warm demonstrating the skill and the kid's follow.
2. A2 skating drills for balance and edge control.
3. A200 Russian Big Moves exercises. Pro player demonstrate the big moves and the players follow.This is a great demonstration of the Russian Big Moves Warm-up by one of the best players in the world at that time.
This practice was done at Juhani's hockey school in Mikkeli, Finland. It is beautiful lake country where he has his summer place. The focus is on Big Moves with Good Hard Fakes when puck handling. Many pro's including Yashin helped with his camps. Juhani is in the IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame and is a legend in Finland.
Another IIHF hall of famer Vladimir Yursinov is the one who developed this big moves warm up. He is a Russian hockey legend as a player and coach. Between them they have developed about 70 NHL players.In my coaching experience these puck handling exercises are the most effective way for players to develop good hands. They can be done off ice as well. Big moves and handling the puck all around the body with big fakes and protecting the puck with the body are the essentials to being a good offensive player.

'Enjoy the Game'A300 Multiple Puck, Ball Nervous System Overload
Key Points:
Use two or more balls, pucks of different sizes, weights, bouncyness to overload the nervous system.Description:
1. Skate around the ice and control more than one puck, ball or combination of balls and pucks.
2. Use items such as: tennis balls-light, racquet balls-bouncy, heavy pucks, light pucks, soccer balls, waffle balls-light, squash balls-small. The nervous system has to adjust to each weight and size and control the amount of pressure applied on each object.
3. Progress in the amount and variation of objects and then reduce the number every few minutes until the player is handling one puck.– A routine I have a pro player do is; skate around the ice with a tennis, racquet and hockey ball. After one lap I take away the hockey ball and replace it with a puck, another lap and I replace the tennis ball with another puck, third lap I take away the racquet ball and now he has 3 pucks. After a lap two pucks putting them back to the skates and on the stick. Then one puck doing the Russian big moves all around and thru the body.
Three videos that show examples of this warm up are:
