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 hockey friends will enjoy the show, and pick up some good tips as well… Below please find the Show Notes for Podcast 27 of Coach Chic’s Hockey Secrets. Please remember that this podcast might be well over a decade old, but as the intro says,…
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 drill is okay, and I still do use it once in awhile, 1) because my players seem to like the competition, and 2) because it just seems to be a decent change of pace from all the other shooting drills we use more often. Really,…
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, both closely and long distance. Secondly, the following question just arrived in my email inbox from a LinkedIn member… “With the new checking rules moving legal checking to the bantam level, how does this impact high school freshmen teams, where the current ages span both…
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 next five videos, I’m betting most will still get an idea of what I’m suggesting. As for my CoachChic.com members, plan on seeing the rest of this presentation in June 2022, as “Teaching Hockey In A Closet – 2”. Let me know what you think,…

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 Sim Webb, a pioneer in the lucid dream research at Stanford University and Montreal’s Sacré-Coeur Hospital. As his resume states, Webb has 25-years of experience researching dreams. Webb is a musician and singer, which had him going on for quite some time citing “… the…

Okay, so up front, I highly recommend that members look into this unique training gadget. I’m talking about finding lots of scientific info, and some unbelievable ideas when it comes to the health benefits of “bounding” (for mom and dad and other non-playing family members, as well). I’ve actually mentioned various ways of using mini-tramps for hockey in the past, and I’ll suggest some others a little later. However, I think it’s a good idea that I consolidate much of my past work in this area in a way that might be easier for members to apply right now. Actually,…
As I so often like to do, I’m going to have members view the video first, and then add my impressions after. You at least have some advanced notice here, about the gist of this being for challenging hockey balance… Okay, up front, I’m not a big fan of the treadmill. Nor would I be all that much in favor of doing that drill on the treadmill. Still, I hope members notice the challenges that are taking place throughout that video when it comes to hockey balance. Ya, I kinda like that. Still, when I went to the original post…
