MUSINGS FROM THE BENCH
This week we have a set of small area games to practice quick decision-making.
This week will be our last newsletter of the season. We really appreciate everyone’s support, and we are looking forward to continuing with our newsletter when the new season begins!
Get some rest over the summer!
Drill #1
5v5 One End
This small-area game forces players to make quick decisions. It also gives a chance for players to execute 5v5 tactics in a small area. We learned this drill from Stanley Cup Champion Jim Paek.
Jim used this drill in a pre-game skate to increase speed and decision-making before the evening’s game.
