Coach Chic tops this episode of the CCC-TV Hockey Show with drills taken from his exclusive “Incredible Stickhandling” course. Because they’re all demonstrated from his office, any player should be able to watch on a home computer and follow right along. Dennis explains every drill in a way that makes it easy for coaches, parents…
I can’t help but apologize that this show was recorded at the exact opposite time of the year. I mean, it’s currently June, and much of North America is dealing with heatwaves, while the following recording took place during a frigid winter season in Massachusetts, and very close to Christmas. That aside, I still hope…
Each CCC-TV episode includes awesome advice from some of hockey’s top coaches and specialty advisors. Non-members should know that the latest episode might only be available to the public for awhile. Currently many past episodes are available to the public on our CCC-TV Youtube Channel. Sometime soon, however, all past episodes may be archived (for…
You should know that all my big ideas don’t necessarily end-up working so well. Actually, the first drill I created to solve the above noted problem calls for spreading 30 or so pucks high in an end zone, and then having two players at a time race to get three quick shots on goal. That…
Our CCC-TV Hockey Show’s band specialist, Dave Schmitz, always has some great ideas for cross-training, but his methods are especially helpful to hockey players during the off-season months.

If this doesn’t help me start making my case, I guess nothing will… For, an article written by Julie Lythcott-Haims and entitled “Helicoptered kids are sputtering out” left the Dallas News on August 5, 2015, and seemingly selected parts of it ended up on a sports related site only three days later as “Helicopter Parents…
Published April 2015 – Before I get rolling here, let me say that — as usual, a number of things set me off on this topic… First, after almost a lifetime of running my own programs, I later had the chance (and the pleasure, really) to observe a number of other AA and AAA programs,…
As it turned out, my presentation encompassed six videos, with those segments containing both old and new information (when it comes to what my CoachChic.com members now). With this, my aim in this first segment is to just introduce the idea of “teaching hockey in a closet”… For those who won’t have access to the…
This old coach has always been looking for game-related skill drills, and this is an awesome example. You see, at one point during their season, I discovered that my feeder team was struggling to react quickly enough to loose pucks in the offensive crease. In other words, by the time they reacted to such conditions,…
Please appreciate that a Part 2 is soon to follow on this post. In fact, it’ll be loaded with details, including a pretty good “how to” segment on ways coaches, parents and players can benefit from combining dreams and hockey. As for recent program, it involved a couple of hours of an interview with Craig…
