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.

Great drill for zone entry, and the use of area passes!

Resilience isn’t built when things are easy, it’s built in the moments that test who you are. Growth starts when discomfort becomes part of the process.
