15 Competitive Team Games & Drills

with Tim Whitehead, University of Maine Head Coach,
2002 Coach of the Year

In this creative coaching video, Coach Whitehead incorporates essential skill development into fun, competitive team games. The objectives and benefits of the games include: learning quick transition, maximizing movement, improved communication, quicker decision-making, and improved shooting, passing, and defending. Along with team essentials, these games are designed to incorporate behavioral attributes that include individual accountability, attentiveness, and communication. Whitehead includes both full-ice and cross-ice games that are designed to mirror actual game situations. Each game is explained and fully diagramed on a marker board followed by a narrated, on-ice demonstration. Excellent!
