Mike McShane Hockey 2-pack

Four-time National Hockey Coach of the Year Mike McShane believes that the best practices involve a lot of skating, they keep everyone involved, they are run at a high tempo and, most importantly, have a flow from one skill set to another.

In this presentation, Coach McShane gives you a high tempo, 29-drill practice that shows you how to build a flow into your practices that will connect the imperative skills of the game to critical system concepts.

McShane begins with a brief skating warm-up that includes five drills. Next he moves into passing and shooting drills, mirror drills, pivot drills, checking drills, a 1-on-1 series, a cycling series and a small games series. For each drill and skill, McShane not only coaches his players but also narrates key points of focus for coaching each phase of the activity.

Throughout the presentation, McShane repeatedly incorporates important intangibles of the game such as communication, teamwork and competitiveness while improving his player's hockey IQ.

This hockey practice DVD gives you a comprehensive set of fast, intense and competitive drills that shows you firsthand what a "best practice" should involve.

You will learn four objectives to maximize the power lock forechecking system: Turnovers, Transition, Retrievals, and Attacks.

Get detailed instruction on the power lock forechecking system in all three zones:

• Offensive Zone - Aggressively attack the puck in the offensive zone while providing defensive support.
• Neutral Zone - Position your players to create turnovers and quickly transition into the attack.
• Defensive Zone - Provide your team with effective options for breaking the puck out of the defensive zone.

In each zone, McShane diagrams the positions and strategies for successful forechecking. He details the responsibilities of each player and how best to transition into the attack. Following the marker board sessions, McShane demonstrates the strategies on the ice.
