    DT400 – 2 on 1 x 2 – Jursinov-Wahlsten

    Key Points:

    Start by giving passive support and progress to F1 support D1 low whil F2 covers the D at the point. This is a one puck game and can be played in situations from 1-1 to 3-2.

    Description:

    1. Red F1-F2 attack vs. Blue D1.
    2. Red D1 passively support at the blue line.
    3. Blue F1-F2 passively support at the top of the circles.
    4. On a turnover or after a frozen puck or goal Blue D1 pass to Blue F1 or F2.
    5. Red F1-F2 and Blue F1 return to the lineup.
    6. Blue F1-F2 skate to the far blue line and turn back to attack Red D1 who follows.
    7. Red F3-F4 and blue D2 give passive support.
    8. Same game rotation happens at the other end with GF1-F2 attacking Bl D1 and GD1 and BF1-F2 support.

    ——————————————-
    For those coaches who have large groups at hockey schools or try-outs this is a great transition game to play in smaller areas. Use the F7 Formation with 4 nets (2 on each goal line or 2 at one end and one at the other) and have 4 2/3 ice transition games going on at one time. If the players are not very aware on the ice then have them turn back at the red line instead of skating to the far blue line in order to avoid collisions. Progress from passive support to the new players joining the offense and defense. If you do this a 1-1 creates a 2-2 at each end, 2-1 creates a 3-3, 2-2 a 4-4, 3-2 a 5-5 or by sending out between 1 and 3 F's and 1 or 2 D you create random situations that the players must Read and Respond to. A great benefit to this transition game with active support is that the F's and D have a i.e. 2-1 for a few seconds only and just like in a real game the supporting players catch up to the play.

    It is also a great way to teach offensive and defensive team play because the coach can create any situation he/she wants and because the game runs itself and there are no whistles the coach is free to coach. Have one coach with the D and one with the F's and talk to them when they come back. Only stop the game if it is totally off track and then do a short correction and get back to it.

    The new season is approaching. I am in the process of converting the video I have with new practice ideas into the 3gpp format that is much more universal than the wmv. I was using. I have so much posted now that about 25% of it is the same drill or game done by a different group. I will add the link to where it is posted before to give for example my U18 girl's doing a 3-0 weave with a regroup at the far end and add a pro team doing the same thing.

    I am seeing a trend with the better coaches. "Less is more." So less whistles – more player engagement, example – the players watch to see when it is time to leave. I also see adding skill or situation components to drills. i.e. the shooter circles back and rebounds for the next shooter or give and go passes from the goal line or instead of a 1-0 with a shot and rebound now the shooter plays 1-1 with the next shooter – this can be an active battle or he simply gets in the way and the attacker has to make a move instead of going in non obstructed. In a 1-1, 2-1 etc. situation drill the better coaches allow them to play it out and the drill ends when the goalie freezes the puck, a goal or the D passes to a coach or a player.

    You can see this in the last few drills I have posted. Troy Ward doesn't use whistles and the 2-1 ends when the play is finished and the next players watch and then leave. Corey Cross working with NHL players has a 2-0 with zero whistles and the none shooter circle back for a rebound.

    Another thing I see is players move pucks after the drill to where they are needed next. Now the asst. coaches can listen to the key points for the next drill and don't appear like they are servants moving pucks around.

    Less military command style teaching and more player involvement. This also frees the coach from being a traffic cop and allows him to talk with the players coming back to the line-up about what just happened.

    I am seeing more transition games instead of situation drills and more small area games.

    Another improvement is to change the situation drills or transition games and SAG to random numbers. So instead of a player knowing that is is a 1-1 have from 1 to 3 players leave on offense and on defense. Now they have to read the play and communicate.

    Something I learned this summer working with former WHA, NHL player and asst. coach was to have a time limit on drills. So on a 3-0 middle drive rush they get 10' only to score or if it is against 1-2 or 3 opponents the same thing. This creates urgency and leads to more 'Deliberate Practice.'

    A400 – Puck Handling Skills 4 Lanes – Pro

    Key Points:

    Handle the puck all around the body. Loosen the shoulders and roll the wrists. Stick handle quietly and softly. You must be able to move the puck side to side, so the stick is too long if you cannot do this and too short if you are too bent over to see up ice. Separate the movement of the upper and lower body moving the puck one way and the body the other way. Use head and shoulder fakes.

    Description:

    1. Rink is separated into four lanes with one two groups starting one way and two the other. (you can use the offside dots and middle dot instead of cones)
    2. Players do each exercise down and back two of the lanes on their side of the ice.
    3. Do a new exercise each time with a coach or player demonstrating the new exercise.

    Refer to the Russian Big Moves postings for more exercises, especially with Jursinov and Yashin. (Yashin – https://www.hockeycoachingabcs.com/videos/watch/a2-a200-puck-handling-and-skating-practice-from-finland/ with much looser shoulders and bigger more quiet moves)

    A1 Going Back for a Loose Puck – Pro W

    Key Points:

    Head on a swivel looking before you get the puck. Line up the puck and pick it up as you start turning.

    Description:

    When a player goes back for a loose puck they need to shoulder check to see where the open ice is. They should turn just as they are getting to the loose puck and have it on the stick as they are turning as opposed to getting the puck and then turning. The coach is a former NHL defenseman.
