We’re back this week with a quick skill development drill video. The Figure 8 Passing drill is an excellent drill to work on agility, passing in awkward positions, and always being ready for a pass.

M2 Hockey – Beginner Station Training Manual
HockeyShare & M2 Hockey are excited to offer you the free download of M2 Hockey’s Beginner Station Manual. The manual is aimed at running effective practices for beginning level skaters. The entire program utilizes stations to maximize the involvement of each player on the ice. It is designed to be a 10-week program, and comes complete with drill diagrams and explanations.
Over-speed Training & Drills
Over-speed training simply means pushing yourself beyond a speed where you are “comfortable.” Going through the motions at a comfortable pace won’t help you progress as a skater. Many of the coaches I talk to seem a bit overwhelmed by the subject of over-speed training, thinking it is a grandiose topic that’s over their heads. While there are great depths you can take the topic, you can begin to incorporate over-speed training into your practices with just a good grasp on the fundamentals of skating.
20 Stickhandling Drill Videos
Sometimes some of the best content on the web is hard to dig up. While looking for some off-ice stickhandling drills, I came across a 20-part video series offered free online by USA Hockey. This series is part of their National Team Development Program training. The videos do a nice job of explaining the drills and showing the execution. The videos can be found at the following link: http://www.usahockey.com/Template_Usahockey.aspx?NAV=CO&id=19434
6 Neutral Zone Regroup Drills
The neutral zone is often an over-looked zone by many hockey coaches. It’s easy to focus on scoring goals or improving team defense. I’ve put together a few of my favorite drills to work on neutral zone regrouping. Hopefully some of you find the drills useful. As always, modify the drills to suit the age/talent level you’re working with. Be sure players understand the fundamentals of your regroup system so you can have them execute the drills using your system. If you have modifications or other neutral zone regroup drills you’d like to share – email them over to me at kevin [at] hockeyshare [dot] com Download Neutral Zone Regroup Drills PDF
5 Drills for Defensemen
Defensive Shadow Drill [Video]
Defensive Escape Turns w/ Shooting [Video]
This week’s video expands on one of our most popular past videos. When we posted the original Defensive Escape Turns video, we got lots of positive feedback from the community, so we wanted to expand on the drill. The expansion of the drill adds two shots. While this addition may seem small, when incorporating them into this drill, you’ll quickly see how much more challenging the drill becomes.
