From 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…

Agility Ladder Training for Hockey Players

By | September 17, 2021 |

As has been mentioned several times and in several places, I’ll be running a series of videos demonstrating my way of adapting agility ladder training for hockey players.  This post is my aim at helping coaches, parents and adult players to ready for that form of training. First, of course, you’ll need a ladder…  And,…

By | September 5, 2021 |

In this episode I addressed one of my Rules for Winners, this having to do with always keeping ones eyes on the puck — both defensively and offensively. I also promised to share a video containing lots of off-ice training ideas — which is timely, because of the current day pandemic limiting many rinks and players…

Old Soviet (Russian) Hockey Reflections

By | April 29, 2021 |

Members will gradually get to know my long time Russian friend, Elena Segal, who has inspired a number of my articles.  We can also thank Elena for the current Russian hockey reflections, though.  She’s super-proud of her work in the use of ballet with other athletes, and she suggests to me that ballet was an…

Teaching the Beginner Hockey Player to Shoot

By | April 21, 2021 |

Number one, just because this piece centers around young hockey players doesn’t mean those dealing with older players aren’t going to gain from it. With that, I recently received a great question via social media.  And, since it seemed something worthy of most parents and coaches of very young kids, I asked the writer if…
