A friend (a former NHL player and European Pro) reached out to me regarding teaching a good progression of checking for his players. They are soon to begin permissible body checking in league play. His players (and parents/guardians) are fearful of this next step. Contact confidence is not automatic. It is taught as a gradual process that, when guided and done right, leads to effective and safe individual tactics on the ice. This repost is a video series worth watching. A lot is covered in each segment. Let me know what you think. Feel free to message me with questions and/or discussion points.
