ABC Coded Video Clips of Practice Ideas

About 1200 short video clips of practice ideas from around the hockey world from the last 15 years. They are coded so they can be found more easily.

The basic coding is:

A – Skating and individual skills of puck handling, passing, shooting.

B – Partner or group skills against no opposition. 2-0, 3-0, regroups etc..

C – Sills vs. opponents: 1-1, 2-1, etc..

D – Games using full ice, SAG.

DT – Transition games to practice the same situations as in C drills but using only one puck.

E – Shoot-outs and contests.

F – Skating for fitness.

G – Goalie practice.

O – Off-ice training ideas for youth to pro.

Most of these are written up in the pdf's I posted yesterday with description, diagram and video link. I still have to get to many of them.

D1 Three Line Continuous Game – U15 Boy’s

Key Points:

Give close support to the puck. Defending team create speed through the neutral zone after the breakout. New defending team identify coverage when the attackers enter the zone.

Description:

Three teams play full ice.

1-Red attacks vs Green at one end.
2-Green breaks out and attacks vs. Black waiting at the other end.
3-Black breaks out and attacks Red.
4-Green rests at the original end.
5-Black attack vs. Green.

They keep this rotation and play a game up to 5. Start another game at 0-0 but switch who they attack first i.e. now Green attacks Red and Red attack vs. Black and Black vs. Green. This rotation can be used to practice team play at full strength and power play and penalty kill.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'

[Tom Molloy]

I have posted this game before with my Women's College players and the Swiss U20 World Junior Team. This is a more recent example with U15 Bantam AA boy's. This and other games are templates for the coach to use for skill development. Add rules like only forehand passes, an escape move before passing, goals must be on one timers or one touch shots, goals must come from plays originating from below the goal line, goals must come from give and go plays, two seconds with the puck, one second with the puck, etc..It is a great example of a 'Game that can teach the Game.'
————————————————————————————————————-

D4 Two Pass – U15 Boy’s

Key Points:

Quick support, get open, give a target, checker on puck, cover away from the puck, box out, take sticks, fight for rebounds. The quicker they make the passes after regaining the puck the more scoring chances they produce. The game is the template and then you can add skill or good habit rules to practice 'How to Play the Game.'

Description:

1. Players must stay inside the blueline and if they puck goes out the other team gets it.
2. Before scoring the offensive team must make at least two passes.
3. When the defenders regain the puck they must make at least two passes before a shot.
4. Make rules with skills for skating, shooting, passing or good habits.

DT100 Continuous 3-2 to 5-5 – Pro W

Key Points:

Attack with speed. New point players support the attack and new forwards support the defenders. Practice offensive and defensive team play concepts.

Description:

1. Start with a 3 on 2 attack.
2. When the puck crosses the blue line two new players join the attack supporting from the point.
3. Three forwards support the defense, the first play the low 3-3, second cover mid-point, third strong side point to create ‘one on and a box behind.’
4. Attack with a middle drive and cycling until the whistle.
5. On the whistle the three new forwards who supported the defense attack 3 on 2 vs. the two players on the point.

* Regroups and dump-ins can be added to this drill.

* Next progression is eliminate the whistles and allow the natural game flow but allow free breakouts on goals or frozen pucks. Regroup on dump outs.

How the NHL Plays the Game

Some thoughts of how the game is now being played at the NHL level.

I have seasons tickets to the Flames and watch a lot of practices and this is a change I have seen in the last few months. Detroit, Chicago and a few other teams always played like this but now it looks like all the teams have changed to a more dynamic style to counter the way teams now defend. Here is what I see.

Very interesting watching the NHL lately. Most teams now play a 2-1-2 game of 'Total Hockey' reading 1-2-3-4-5. They pinch on wide rims and also on the strong side when they have and F3 to fill behind. They alternate between this and a 1-2-2 which is vulnerable to a C low and slow breakout because no one is in the middle. They also attack with 4 and one D joins the attack and often both D to at least the top of the circle.

In the defensive end most swarm when the attacker is facing the boards, both even and pk. Lots of teams still have trouble covering F3 on the cycle. The D wants to stand in front of the net instead of moving out at least half way. (Crosby passed to F3 twice for goals two nights ago) A principle they would get better results with is. Closest defender on tight, second closest within a stick length and third closest half way.

To break the forecheck the winger goes tight to the point and chips out or if the D's skate caps are up ice they fly the zone for a stretch pass and then tip in back to an oncoming player or chip it in. The better players get between the dots with the puck to create more options.

Teams attack with the middle drive and the widest play decides whether to stay wide for the pass across or become a trailer.

Defending teams collapse deep into the slot area and leave the points open. The new foot gaurds allow a lot more shot blocking without foot injuries so moving the puck to diagonal shooters is one of the only ways to get shots through. Defending in the nzone is like the forecheck. F1 locks the strong side boards, D1 protects the middle and D2 plays tight on the wide attacker.

Everyone uses the Diamond 1-3-1 power play and I see more inverted 1-3-1 setting up behind the net now. The cross pass really works vs. teams that don't have the F in the middle go up and back. The second F will 'fall under' behind F1 and go to the first pass side.

Most goals are scored with 'passes off the pad', one timers and deflections off shots or shot passes. Goals off the rush are usually a result of turn-overs just inside the defensive blue line.

T2-4 Teaching Defensive Zone Coverage 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-5 – Pro

Key Points:

Defenders must communicate situation and switch from man on man to 2-1 to man on man to 3-2 then man on man 3-3. Forwards must quickly take advantage of the 2-1 and 3-2. Defending forwards have to come back to low slot, mid-slot and puck side point.

Description:

1. Players line up outside the blue line and wait for a Coach dump-in.
2. One D starts skating backward and one F forechecks 1 on 1.
3. A second forward makes it a 2 on 1.
4. Another D joins creating a 2 on 2.
5. A third forward makes it 3 on 2.
6. Three defending forwards join and make it a 3 on 5.
7. F2 back defend the mid-point and collapse into the middle if the puck is in far corner.
8. F3 cover the strong side point and collapse lower when puck is low in the zone.
9. F2 has net front when 2 D and F1 play man on man on one side.
10. Coach put in a new puck if the original puck is out of play.

* This is a chance to actively coach coming back into the defensive zone.
