A200 Russian Olympic Coach Teaches Puck Handling – U17-U20
When I coached in Salzburg, Austria we had 4 teams, U17, U20, Pro second league and Pro Premier League. On M-W morning the pro's had a one hour morning skill session and T-Th the development players had one. There were coaches from every hockey nation and one week a month the IIHF Hall of Fame and former Russian Olympic Coach, Vladimir Yursinov (or Jursinov) ran the skill session. This is a 14 minute video with a warm-up and then a teaching sequence of exercises for puck handling. It is one step at a time and then the skills are combined. Yursi is probably the most famous skills coach in the world. He played for the Soviet Union and was Tikonov's asst. through the years they dominated the World Championships and Olympics. He coached the Russian 1998 Olympic Team and has been asst. coach many times. He speaks some German and I was helping him with his English. I have done a half dozen seminars with him and Juhani in Finland including presenting at the 1997 World Championship Coaching Symposium. It starts off with a minute of Jursi and Pierre Page leading some backward cross-overs and then poke check with balance and then Jursi leads the puck handling sequence where four leave at a time and finish with a shot. He builds the move that Ovechkin uses to slide past the D to get a shot away.
Key Points:
Make hard fakes and sell them to the defender. Separate the movement of the upper and lower body. Create puck handling sequences that flow together. Learn to use the forehand and the backhand and have loose shoulders and the hands away from the body. Don’t over handle the puck.Description:
A. Warm-up with backward cross-over skating and reach with the stick in a balanced position.
B. Practice moves and fakes while skating down the ice and finish with a shot on net.
1. Fake the slapshot with a convincing fake and finish with the stick hitting the ice.
2. Fake the slapshot and accelerate around the defender on the forehand.
3. Fake the slapshot and move like you are going around on the forehand but quickly pull the puck across to the backhand.
4. Fake a backhand pass or shot and rotate the body in a convincing manner.
5. Fake the backhand and pull the puck across to the forehand.
6. Fake the slapshot and pull the puck to the backhand, fake a backhand and pull the puck to the forehand.
7. Fake a wrist shot and spin on the backhand.
8. Fake a wrist shot and spin to the forehand.
9. Fake a backhand shot-across to the forehand then fake a wrist shot and across to the backhand.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'I watched the video for this drill. It was in Jihlava, Czech Republic. I sat down with Petr Svoboda the U20 coach and planned the practice and then went over it with him. He ran the practice while I watched and took video of it. I am sounding very tired. I got re-routed on the plane and the 18 hour trip turned into a 34 hour trip. I finally arrived and had to go on the ice an hour later. Between the jet lag and no sleep for two days I never really recovered by the time I filmed this drill. There are a lot of good skating techniques required and you can add many options to this drill.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'We did this game at my skills session last night. The players loved it and there was great intensity. It is an adaption of another game but the difference is that you start 1-1 and players can join if they make a successful give and go from the line-up with an active player. The other adaptation is that you can pass to any player on the blue line. These playes are also jokers who you can pass too once 3 players are active. This keeps everyone in the game and works on role 2 of puck support and role 4 of covering away from the puck. I will get a video when we do it again.
D200 – Start 1-1 up to 3-3 – Various Teams – U17 – Pro WKey Points:
Players must continually recognize the situation from 1-1 to 3-3. You can pass to any teammate in the line-up. Situations 1-1, 1-2, 2-3, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3 must be solved by the player.Description:
1. Each game starts with player 1 from each team. Only one puck is used.
2. Up to 3 players on each team can play.
3. Puck carrier can pass to any teammate on the blue line. A successful return pass allows them to join.
4. Players on the side are active jokers who can be passed too after 3 players are active.
5. Keep going after a goal and the defenders must retreat to half way before checking.
5. Play about 30" shifts and then pass to your player 1 who stats 1-1. Another option is to pass to the goalie or simply leave the puck and the new players race for it.
6. Keep score and add rules like only backhand passes, etc.D200 2-2 Add Players with Give and Go – Pro W
D200 – 1-1 to 3-3 With Give and Go – U17
