Now, believing in myself as I do, I wrote back to say that I see it as relatively easy to accomplish — with a couple of IFs. Ya, a couple of dawgoned IFs… Okay, so I’m boasting a bit as I write back to the former pro, telling him I know exactly how I’ve always liked to start infusing a little heart or desire into the young players in my charge. And, reverting back to a few drills I’ve mentioned previously in these pages, I suggested that I’d do it with some combative-type games… I always began with 1 on…

This isn’t going to be a long post, but it is one that’s very much overdue, mainly because of the video I’m going to share right now… Ya, if a picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, well… Just how much is a video like this worth? Now, if you follow me at all on social media, you’ll know I’m regularly on a tear about the gadgets and drills I see used there, especially in Instagram, where lots of unfounded drills and awful training tools are more the norm than, well… Then, as for the brevity of this post, that’s…
Coach Chic’s first inside knowledge about “over-speed training” came about during a session at the Moscow Institute for Sport and Physical Culture in the former Soviet Union — a good 15-years before such methods became more known in North America.

This project caused me to scurry through YouTube.com to see what others had done so far in this area. To be honest, almost all the various videos on backyard rinks were nearly the same, with most of them only varying in extras — like lights, high boards, doors in the boards, etc. I finally settled on the video just below, mainly because it’s a really basic set up, and because it gives a pretty good view of everything. So, please have a look before we go further on the subject. (Don’t panic that you don’t hear a soundtrack; there is…
Ya, that’s pretty much what the pitchman said on the radio this morning… The reason I’ve decided to comment on this particular advertisement is because I immediately thought of my buddy, Jerry Z, as soon as I heard it! Actually, the sponsor was a well known hockey equipment super store, but the message wasn’t really for us serious hockey players, coaches or parents. Naw, what they were peddling was “pond hockey gear”! I mean that, and that’s exactly the expression the announcer used: “pond hockey”. And, as best I can recall, that equipment was selling for $40 to $60, or…
