Your time as a Hockey Coach is very valuable! The
majority of you are volunteers who are...
- Running from work to the rink
- Late because of meetings, travel, traffic, etc.
- Lacking time to pre-plan using the web or manuals
We made it simple to arrive at the rink always ready with a
quality hockey practice that provides your hockey players with
the optimum learning environment and great drills.
Hockey Coaches:
Provide your hockey players with...
- Hockey practices that maximize their
hockey skill development.
- A quick paced learning environment
Running from place to place does not always allow you...
- Time to surf the Internet
- Go through hockey manuals
...Even then you are left with a handful of sheets that need to be
organized and can't be viewed by players on the ice.
Not only do we provide an easy to use hockey practice:
- It's portable
- The drills are organized and structured
- It's available when you need it
- Saving you countless hours and money
We designed the hockey drills to...
- Keep the hockey players active
- Utilize as much of the hockey ice surface as possible.
Have you ever watched an inefficient practice...
- A player skates a drill...
- Then waits for the rest of the line to finish before coming back the
other way?
- The player skates for 5-10 seconds then stands for 2-4 minutes
before repeating the drill.
Hockey Practice Guide drill flow is designed to...
- Maximize activity
- Minimize standing around.
...The hockey coach and the drill design controls the rest interval not
the hockey players.
If a hockey drill can be designed to run on 3/4 of the ice, we then used
the remaining 1/4 of the ice for 1 or 2 more drill stations. This allows
for a smaller number of hockey players per drill... Increasing hockey
player repetition and maximizing ice surface use.
You would not be reading this unless you were a quality hockey coach
looking for ways to assist your hockey players in becoming better
hockey players!...
- Repetition is the key to mastering any skill including hockey.
- With the Hockey Practice Guide we minimized the amount of time
players wait in line and maximized the amount of ice surface that is
being used.
- We scaled the hockey drills and the amount of stations used based
on... Age, ice surface, number of on ice assistants, coach to player
ratios.
Extremely easy to use...
- Determine the hockey drills and the amount of time for each station
layout
- Use an erasable marker to capture the plan using the 'Practice
Plan' page
- Optional...Create your own combination using the enclosed
reusable blank hockey ice surface layout
- Pages are arranged by the number of stations from 1 to 6
depending on the age and 1/2 ice or full ice.

Legend: Simplified to minimize
clutter. Coaches have the ability to
alter activities.
Skating flow: ex. Better players always
face puck transitioning from forward to
backward while skating, etc.
Passing: forehand, backhand, using
skates, etc.
Shooting: wrist, snap, backhand, slap,
with either skate lifted off the ice, etc.
