Lots of work has gone into this and it’s extremely valuable for coaches at every level. With the season just around the corner, ensure you are prepared, give your team and players every advantage possible to be successful.
Every level of hockey from youth to pro
Players are watching the best examples of high hockey IQ in a rep without rep way = learning
Coaches are saving time, and some are even sending me more video of their team to add to their folders

Let's take a peak behind the player development curtain and showcase what I did with my defenseman in session yesterday.
I believe that the importance of the interaction between defenseman is at a premium in modern conceptual offense.

The summer brings many different opportunities in hockey.
For coaches it brings an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop in the player development space.
This video library assists coaches in their ability to develop an understanding of modern play.

"Typical is predictable. Predictable players start with predictable sessions."
I got a text from a coach that sparked some thought.
"Would you mind sharing a typical session you would do?"
Here's how we worked through that question.

Fresh on your feeds!
Lots of work put into this with @drewcarlsonhp.

Pro/Junior Hockey opinion:
Scouting and player development staffs should be fully integrated.
If you can identify talent, you should also be able to develop the talent and vice versa.
Not only identifying what they need to improve but HOW.
Organizational connectivity.
MTL OZP:
Fun sequence here representing important principles in conceptual OZP.
- puck recoveries
- above puck rotation/support
- forward reloads
- changing sides of the ice
- seeking numbers advantages
Plenty to unpack but much to learn from their ability to extend possion.
@drewcarlsonhp and I drilled this game this week and found it representative of effective modern OZP.
Very similar to this OZP sequence from PITT. 3 players reload into high ice, one holds net front, 3 players attack downhill connected which creates numbers advantage to net.
Check out my article highlighting the impact of the Relative Age Effect Theory on drafts specifically analyzing the Phase I USHL Draft.
I summarized the findings and wrote my synopsis on how we can look at this through a player development perspective.

Chris Kreider Using Analytics:
Kreider divulged in his work with @VallysView that he put intentional focus not on how hard the shot is but how quickly it gets off the stick.
7 of his 24 goals this season were scored off one touch.
Identify good space. Remain shot ready.
I pulled a clip of Chris Kreider talking about increasing his scoring by using analytical percentages. Curtesy of @EmptyNettersPod.
Last night, he showed us what he's talking about. Players, work on adjusting to pucks for one timers. Coaches, incentivize one timers in session.
Re-visiting some writing.
The Montreal Canadians were held to just 9 shots in game 7, which isn't uncommon for them being outshot 44 times. That doesn't stop them from being successful. Their value system is elsewhere. Possess, hunt danger, capitalize.
