Since this presentation was originally published, Jamie Kompon has continued to establish himself as one of the NHL's most respected offensive minds. Now a three-time Stanley Cup champion, Kompon played a key role in helping the Florida Panthers capture back-to-back Stanley Cup titles in 2024 and 2025, alongside long-time former Winnipeg Jets Coach Paul Maurice. With more than two decades of NHL coaching experience, Kompon remains widely regarded for his work on special teams and player development.

Few areas of the game give coaches a greater opportunity to influence outcomes than the power play. While systems, structure, and line combinations matter in every situation, the man advantage provides a unique opportunity to blend tactical planning with player creativity. When it all comes together, there's nothing quite like seeing a power play goal develop exactly as it was designed.

Kompon knows that feeling well. Over more than 20 years behind NHL benches, he has built a reputation as one of the game's leading power play coaches. Whether working with elite talent or developing new personnel, his approach has always centered on putting players in positions where their skills can have the greatest impact.

For Kompon, success on the power play is about more than talent alone. It's about creating habits, teaching concepts, and giving players a clear framework for making decisions under pressure. Rather than relying solely on creativity, his teams spend time on component drills that isolate and develop the key skills required for power play success.

In this presentation from Kompon shares the principles, teaching points, and practice strategies that have helped drive successful power plays throughout his NHL coaching career.

Catch Kompon at this year's TCS Live, taking place in Edmonton Alberta from August 6-8! He'll be presenting on Building the Right Breakout for Your Team.
