Off Ice Stickhandling Video Series (Part 2 of 3)
In the second part of this three-part series, we cover some basic drills players can use to practice their stickhandling technique. The drills in this video do not require any special training equipment -- just a few pucks and a stickhandling ball.

Off Ice Stickhandling Video Series (Part 1 of 3)
As players across the world prepare to hone their skills in the off-season, we have put together a 3-part video series covering the basics of training stickhandling off ice. In part one we cover basic technique, dribbles, and practice drills to help you train properly.
Part two will cover additional (more advanced) drills, and part three will discuss ways to vary your training to keep things fresh and develop new skills.

2 New Features Added to Drill Diagrammer
We’re excited to announce two new highly-requested feature additions to the HockeyShare Drill Diagrammer. Now you can create “Custom Objects” where you are able to change not only the numbering, but also the main text of the object. We also added an option to create a drill on a blank surface -- this is great for drawing station drills where you want to go in to more depth without being constrained by the lines on the rink. We put together a quick video to highlight the new changes:
To celebrate the new changes, this week only we’re offering a 10% discount on monthly memberships and 20% off on all annual, team, and association memberships. Hurry -- offer expires soon! Just use discount code ML0312.

Defensemen “Hinge” Play – Video
The defensive “hinge” play is a technique used to open up the weak-side of the ice. In order for a hinge play to work properly, the defensive partner must provide good support to the puck carrier. In this week’s video, we discuss the keys to proper defensive support and how to execute the “hinge” play.
Here’s an example from the NHL:
Defensemen Puck Movement Agility Drill (Video)
Defenseman Agility Drill – Video
Simple drills can be extremely effective in developing skills in players if you key on very specific movements and techniques. This week’s video shows a “simple” agility skating drill to develop transition footwork for defensemen. Despite the “simple” pattern, the actual execution of the drill is fairly difficult -- especially while handling a puck. The closer the cones are together, the more compact the transition areas become. The drill forces players to prepare their transitions even though it may not be comfortable to execute.
