'Enjoy the Game'T3 – B5 – Defensive Deflect-Steer-Angling – RB Pro
Key Points:
Gene Reilly shows the approach. Cut the ice in half with the stick in the passing lane and steer the player outside the dots. Angle toward the back of the inside shoulder so they can't turn back, then finish shoulder to shoulder and stick on the puck.This angling drill is coached by an American Gene Reilly. He was an NCAA and American league coach and is great with the DETAILS of the game. He is working with the second division pro team. This skill is critical if your team is going to do a good job defending. Notice they aren't trying to rip the puck carriers head off by charging at him with sticks off the ice. Watch the NHL and how they angle like this and always have the Stick on the Puck. The next drill I post will be to practice that detail.
Description:
1. Offense group behind the net with pucks.
2. Defenders behind blue line in the middle.
3. Both start on the whistle.
4. Defender force the attacker wide angle and finish.
5. Alternate sides.
6. Players switch lines so they all angle.
7. Move the defenders back to the far blue line as the second step in the skill.https://www.hockeycoachingabcs.com/videos/watch/b5-defensive-deflect-steer-angling-rb-pro/

'Enjoy the Game'A Backward Skating Tag Game – Jursinov
Jursinov came to run skills practices one week a month for the Red Bulls in Salzburg. M_W for the 2 pro teams and T-Th for the U20-U17 who are in this video. Jursi was Tikonov's assistant during the Soviet domination of hockey in the 70-80's. He played for the Soviet teams on many world championships and Olympics. In 98 when NHL players were allowed in the Olympics the Russian players insisted that he coach the team or they would refuse to play. They won silver that Olympics. He was asst. coach the next 2 Olympics. Jursi and Juhani played against each other in many international games and are great friends. Jursi coached TPS for about 5 seasons which is in Turku, Finland where Juhani lives. I have done some clinics along with Jursi and Juuso (Juhani Wahlsten) and it makes me look like I am smart when I walk into an arena or presentation hall with two IIHF Hall of Famers. (you can fool the people some of the time)
The player who no one can catch when he is skating backwards is Otso Rantakari who won the ROY in Finland two years ago. Fantastic skater and really smart D.

'Enjoy the Game'D200 With Jokers at Both Ends 1-1 to 3-3 – RB U17
Key Points:
Regroups and give and goes are stressed.I did this with the U17-U20 morning skills group. By regrouping it gives the players awareness of the ice behind and by having them pass to the player behind the opponents net it encourages one timers and getting open. Defensive players don't check the jokers but instead work on role 4 of covering players away from the puck. I now make a rule that the jokers must either one touch the pass or skate; so either the puck or the player moves. They can also go to the other side of the net. Rotation is play, be a joker, rest.
Description:
Each team has a Joker at each end. You must regroup with your defensive joker when you gain possession on the puck and pass to the offensive joker before shooting.A. Coach dumps in puck. Play 20-30"
1. On possession regroup.
2. Make breakout pass.
3. Pass to low offensive joker.
4. Get open for a pass.
5. Try to score.On each turnover you must regroup.
