Small deception. Big results.

Former NHLers Yogi Svejkovský and Kris Beech share how they teach offensive deception and why subtle movements with the body, stick, and pace can make a major impact on player performance.

Great presentation!

I bought Aaron’s book shortly after listening to this podcast a couple of years ago, and both my 13-year-old and I absolutely loved it. One of those rare books that connects with both kids and adults alike.

Pulling the goalie in OT is one of the boldest strategies we’ve seen in years, high risk, high reward. If you trust your puck possession and execution, why not force the opponent into a situation they almost never practice defending?

Dipsy Doodle is such a simple but effective warm-up drill for stickhandling.

I’ve used this a lot with my U13 small groups, great way to get players handling pucks at speed while working on slipping pucks through skates and under sticks in tight areas. Fun, competitive, and easy to set up.

Really like this breakdown of the Constraints Led Approach (CLA).

Small changes to the performer, environment, or task can completely change how an athlete moves, adapts, and learns.

For me, this is a great reminder that effective coaching isn’t just about giving instructions, it’s about designing environments that help athletes solve problems in real time.
