'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'The head coach is Petr Svoboda who played part of a season for Tonronto until he had to quit because of health problems. He was the only English speaking coach in Jihlava, Czech Republic when I did a camp there. They offered me a job to be coach mentor and work as asst. coach with Petr on the U20 team. He is now certified coach able to coach pro or any other level in the Czech Republic. When I did the camp I would go over everything with Petr and then he would explain it to the coaches and players in Czech.
Good guy.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'This is very similar to the previous drill but it is a transition game which uses only one puck and the flow continues without whistles. This requires the teams to play the low 3-3 and the defenders to make a breakout pass. It also frees the coach to talk with the players instead of being like a traffic cop blowing whistles. Players also are more engaged and have to make decisions.
Transition games are NOT used by very many coaches but are the next advancement in running more effective and efficient practices.

B500 – Partner Wrist Passes – Czech U17
'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'When teaching team play sometimes the coach has the opposition D pass all the way to the other D in order to simulate a turn over, so the players go from thinking forecheck to getting back to support a regroup. The Finn Jalonen did the same thing off a low zone face-off in another drill to simulate a turnover where the players had to get onside and regroup in the neutral zone before attacking.
