Great idea Kai. I am sitting in a hotel room in New York waiting for my wife and son to wake up. All of the walking yesterday must have tired them out.

Daniel Coyle wrote another book called 'The Little Book of Talent' where he condenses everything about the centre's that produce champions.

I want to set up a 'Mission Impossible' circuit where the players go from one station to the next and do activities like you suggest and if they fail they have to return to the station they started at to move on. Possible ideas are to score on a breakaway, saucer pass over something to a target. If you have more suggestions I would love to hear them.

Have you tried the videos from this site on your smart phone. I am wondering if they run well in Finland.

I brought my wife to NY instead of going to Stockholm for the coaching conference. We picked up our son in Toronto and brought him here as a graduation from university present.

I love the Mission Impossible circuit idea. Love the breakaway as the last station, and the saucer pass is good, I like to start with " Quick Hands" where the players stickhandle through 6-8 pucks. They have to start over if they hit any of the pucks.

Keep the ideas coming…this could be good.

Here's a few I came up with

• Bounce a puck on our stick blade X times/ distance
• Bounce a puck on our stick blade and drop it into bucket that's a few meters away
• Stickhandle multiple pucks skating forwards / backwards
• Deflect pucks from air to net forehand/backhand
• Stop high saucer passes from air with your stick

Stickhandle puck while kicking a soccer ball.

Putting the puck between your legs while stickhandling.

Great ideas.

Guys,

I will be running my first summer Power Skating and Stickhandling program .
It will be mostly younger kids with a few older players.
The older players will be used at the beginning of each line as a visual learning tool for yonger players.As mentioned in the Talent Code many hotbeds for talent work this way. This will be slowed down with exagerated moves out of their comfort zone.
This site has great video's from the A200 formation with a few pro players.

I have been putting together short video clips on the stride mechanics and stickhandling to show the players.
How many coaches use video on the ice as a learning tool?
Thoughts on this or suggestions?

Thanks
RK

RK, I do quite a bit of stuff with ex NHLer Morris Lukowich and he uses Coaches Eye which is an app on the Iphone or pad where you can analyze a players technique while on the ice and send them the video after.
