Gene Reilly is the coach giving instruction to the Red Bull players. I coached with him that season. Gene is a top skills coach and was in the AHL working with the Senators team for two seasons and his main assignment was to teach Jason Spezza how to play when he didn't have the puck.
This video is often used to show how Crosby school's Spezza but instead it is a great example of how to play low 1-1 defense. I think it is a great example of stick on stick from the D side, hand on the hip, stick always on the ice. Spezza prevents Crosby from getting to the net and at that time Crosby was the top player in the world. Spezza denies the slot and then stays with Crosby after he passes. The goal is on the winger who allowed the shot from the point and not on Spezza who did a fantastic job.

'Enjoy the Game'All could see Crosby call a set face-off play in the Stanley Cup Final overtime game. He won the draw, Penguins scored and game over. There was a lot of crying from San Jose fans that Crosby cheated, which every centre tries to do. (The saying is 'If your not cheating a little then your not trying hard enough.') Mike Cvik, who just retired after 29 years as a linesman plays hockey with us and I asked him what the rule is. He said that starting last year the rule is that the centre in the defensive end must put his stick down first. It used to be the visiting team. This video shows one face-off defensive win and breakout and 3 options for an offensive win.

'Enjoy the Game'T4 – F3 Mirror-Backpressure-F1-F2 Points-5-5 – Pro
Key Points:
This is the way many elite teams now forecheck and backcheck when the opponents make a clean breakout. Players must be able to count to 5. 1 and 2 forecheck deep, 3 mirror from the mid slot, 4 play midpoint and 5 the puck side point. These positions are all interchangeable and the five players stay compact like a flexible 5 on a dice.
Description:
1. Offensive 5 players set up for a breakout.
2. Forecheckers 1 and 2 deep at the goal line, 3 mirror puck mid slot, 4 midpoint, 5 strong side point.
3. Offensive D1 skate behind the net and breakout pass to the W or C.
4. 3 mirror the puck and back pressure the pass receiver.
5. 1 and 2 back track through the middle lane.
6. 5 cover the W or C skating up the ice on his side.
7. 4 skate backward and pick up the deepest attacker wide or in the middle.
8. 3-4-5 cover one attacker each when attackers enter the zone with control.
9. Defend the house with one on and a box behind. 3-4-5 low, 1-2 points.* When D pinch F3 covers the point instead of back pressuring the attacker. This happens on all rims and slow developing D to D behind the net breakouts.

'Enjoy the Game'D – Games Manuals
The main goal of this website and our ABC program has been the same concept. Use drills to introduce techniques and good habits and learn to put them into game situations. I have prepared two PDF's about using games in practice. both PDF's have lots of examples of games that you can use.
The first PDF is the Games Manual including guides to using the ice efficiently, games to teach the game, progression of games from our book and supplementary games.Games Manual – 2016
The second PDF lists may games with diagrams and links.
D – Games from the ABC’s of International Hockey – 2016
It would be incredible to see kid's actually 'Have Fun' at practice while learning game understanding and creativity. Maybe the days or the 7' – 11' of moving and the rest waiting in line or listening to the coach are finally going to end.
Mike Sullivan – Player Development and How They Learn.
Stanley Cup champion coach gave a talk at a USA coaching symposium and did a great job explaining the science behind how humans acquire skill and refine it so it is physically automatic and the brain recognizes game situations and quickly solves them.
Dave King on Using Games to Develop Hockey IQ
Dave speaks at the Saskatchewan Coaching Symposium (great talks on YouTube) about 'Becoming and Effective Coach'. It is a 40 minute presentation and the last half he talks about how coaches have to change their practices and use games to develop 'Hockey IQ' or Game Sense.
