“How do you rotate your goalies?”
“They change on the fly”
Here’s why,
They are ready and engaged, no checking out or getting bored, and it’s fun.
“What if you get scored on?”
It’s 10u…we’ll be ok.
As a ref I see a ton of chaotic time outs, trying to get lots of info in a short time or changing up a system to hold/gain a lead in the final minutes. Creating these situations in practice will help calm those chaotic last few minutes or when adversity strikes.
If the pucks behind the net I’m not an option standing on top of the crease. Even though players will force it to the middle over and over.
Become a hawk, hunting and exploding into space to get a shot or cut off the breakout.
“Bring at the net front tied up when the puck is behind the net is worthless”
A 3 sec “house” rule like the lane in basketball is a good addition to sag’s. Helps them work on timing and drawing D away.
Rutger McGroarty with an insightful take on the “get to the net” cliché and why timing matters more than simply going to the net:
“I think overall, a lot of people just say, like, ‘Get to the net, get to the net, get to the net.’ But just going to the net, a lot of the time, is just kind of a dumb play, and that's what a lot of people don't realize. If you just go there and get tied up, I think arriving on time is a huge thing. I think that not being at the net front in a battle when the puck's behind the net, because that's worthless. I think that just arriving on time is a huge thing, and that's something that I've tried to work on a lot.” #LetsGoPens
When you have kids waiting to enter an sag, this is a good little side game you can play while they wait.
As a coach, make them use their backhand or their feet and receive tough passes.
Really liked this warmup from @transformbball
Passing tennis provided some tough challenges, especially on the backhand. Good way to use deceptive passes as well. Only rule was it had to be a reasonable pass, not a shot obviously.
Fun and competitive as well.
What’s the skill?
Wall pickup or…
Scan, pickup, identify pressure, deceive defender, get pass on tape=scoring chance
Simplify the training but keep the context.
Problem solving, not drill repetition

One of the key skills in practice design is being able to take a complex game and create a simpler version without losing what makes it the game.
Think about it as taking a slice of the game
Here are 5 steps I use when designing these activities 👇

Great chat with @MatiszJohn 👊
Nikita Kucherov said last week that he believes the NHL today is faster, but dumb and “low IQ.”
@MatiszJohn asked some coaches and players to see if there is any merit to Kucherov's assessment. sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/kuc…
Your stick and your eyes tell a story…..make sure it’s a lie.
Also a great look at scanning for info. Not just scanning to scan but making the right play at the right time.

There is the “perception” of what learning looks like.
Then there is what it actually looks like…
And those 2 things are often wildly different.
Watching my daughter’s training and I think I would rather stick hot pokers in my eyes so as to not have to suffer.
Seriously.
Just dropping a ball and letting them play would be exponemtially better than this “training.” 😳

3v2 quick shooter
This is a good one to add a 2-3 sec limit with the puck. Great for kids who dangle too much
-back door, one T, catch an shoot
-pull D away
-can make shooter change
-sliding in and out of open space
-deceptive passes/shots
-let the puck do the work
If they lack movement skills off the ice, we aren’t going to improve movement on the ice.
You can hide it for a while with size or experience but it’s a struggle when those advantages disappear.
More stuff kids should be doing instead of specializing in one sport:
Sprinting
Jumping
Crawling
Rolling
Rough & tumble play
Hanging
Balancing
Reacting
Changing direction
Competing
Build the athlete first. Specialize later.

This is a small group obviously but I’ve been experimenting with a few ways to encourage quick shooting with these guys. The second one they are trying to get the shot off before their partner.
Deception is the act of causing a person(or 6 people) to believe untrue information. 👇
Can’t deceive a cone or blinking light.

We talk about ‘developing players’, as if coaches, clubs or federations produce development. We can’t. Players develop themselves by perceiving, acting, adapting & learning through experience. Our job isn’t to manufacture talent, but create environments where development emerges.
