Understanding A Mastermind Group

Longtime followers might notice our dropping the term “webinar” as a way of defining our frequent hockey get-togethers, opting instead to call them “mastermind meetups”. Why so? First, I think the term webinar has taken on a slightly negative connotation in recent years, whereby a presenter talks to (or at) his or her audience, often…

How Should a Beginner Hold a Hockey Stick?  Part 1

My Facebook friend, Kathy C, couldn’t have posed a more timely question.  For, beginner hockey players had been flocking to learn-to-play type clinics all over North America at the time, and a lot of new hockey parents were scratching their heads as they attempted to outfit their youngsters. More specifically, Kathy joked that I get…

Meet “Joe”

Although I’ve made this video and special tool available for public viewing, some training devices to come will only be available to certain levels of this site. With that, if you want to know how a sick coaching mind has functioned all these years (LOL): My grandson is now over 30 years old, but this…

An Intro to The MOTION Lab

If there’s one thing I greatly miss after relocating from Massachusetts to Florida it’s my indoor hockey training facility I dubbed The MOTION Lab. The short video above provides a brief introduction but, I’ll look forward to sharing lots of ideas in future posts, including background information concerning some of the gadgets you see used…

The History to My “MP Drill Format”

The History to My “MP Drill Format”

As the above graphic suggests, there is quite a history to my MP Drill Format.  As a matter of fact, my way of sharing ideas probably differs greatly from others, in that I want those who trust in me to totally understand the behind-the-scenes stuff, or how I ultimately arrived at a given problem’s solution.…

Hockey Parent: Coach Relationships

Okay, so a fresh season got underway a few months back, with a whole  bunch of players reporting to their new teams and their new coaches. Personally, I’ve always liked to see each of my new players — or my new team —  as a blank canvas on which to paint a new masterpiece (okay,…

A Great Hockey Skater Is Suddenly Falling?

Aaaaah…  I love it when folks toss their hockey problems my way (even if I’m not sure I can answer them)!  Okay, so not long ago I received the following question (which might just be a huge challenge for me).  Please take a read…  This actually came by way of Twitter, but I thought it…

Floorball: The Fastest Growing Team Sport

I have my long ago friends at the Sports Connection to thank for this extremely informative article.  (I say long ago, because it seems they’ve disappeared since I borrowed this awesome article from them.)  I love that they’ve provided a brief history for floorball, and that they go even more into the rules than other articles I’ve…

Suspension Training for Hockey Players

I’m always saying that part of my job is to do the research for my hockey members (and I also like to do it selfishly, for myself).  Anyway, I’ve always subscribed to a number of strength training magazines and newsletters, just so I can keep-up with the very latest in training methods.  So, along came a new…

Hockey Fights!

Now, trust me:  that I can appreciate how countless 20-something fans can really get into hockey fights.  Frankly, so did I when I was much younger.  In fact, I can totally understand how hockey fans love to see a lot of rough and tumble things as they watch a game and cheer for their favorite team —…
