How to Play Hockey Module 4: Offensive Zone TacticsViews: 6701$19.99
Module 4 explores the Offensive Zone with and without the puck. This module focuses on forechecking systems, then offensive options once you gain possession, as well as offensive zone entries with the puck.
Offensive Mindset
Traditionally coaches liked to say that offense cannot be taught, but we do not agree. Developing tactical concepts and creative options can help get everyone on the same page. The most important piece in the offensive zone is to get possession back when you lose it, sustain pressure, and find ways to get pucks to the net. Create 2 on 1′s out of the corner, get pucks to D, keep your feet moving, and plan to score on the second shot/rebound (shoot the puck!).
The goal of this course is to create a progression in learning from A to Z, from Module 1 to 5, but feel free to pick and choose the modules you need the most. Learning the international language of hockey is paramount in expanding your overall game understanding. If you do skip ahead, and hear terms in later modules that you do not understand, we recommend starting back at Module 1 and working your way through the entire set of modules. We built the curriculum step by step, teaching first the terminology, then explore every zone of the ice, from defensive, to neutral, and on to offensive zone without, then with the puck. Our final module teaches powerplay and penalty killing systems. Get started now!Views: 6701$19.99 -
How to Play Hockey Module 3: Neutral Zone TacticsViews: 5738$19.99
Master the tactics of hockey with our 20 week program. Get started now with Module 3: Neutral Zone.
The Neutral Zone is the zone between the blue lines. It’s not yours, and it’s not theirs. It’s neutral! The ability to keep possession, or regain possession after losing it, in the neutral zone is critical to quick counter attacks, offensive threat, and strong defense. Games can be won or lost off turnovers in the neutral zone. We start this module without the puck, in a neutral zone forechecking phase, then assuming we gain possession, we teach regroups and counter attacks, followed by offensive zone entries.

How to Play Hockey Module 5: Special Teams (PP, PK)Views: 8957$19.99
In this module we share our expertise on power play, penalty kill, and have a section for set plays. The special teams sections address power play breakouts, principles, and offensive zone formations. The penalty killing section addresses principles, forechecking systems, and defensive zone formations.
Power Play
All great powerplays follow a set of principles, regardless of formation and set plays. A ‘principle’ is a rule or guideline that governs one’s behaviour. These principles are critical in creating a productive power play. The most elaborate power plays in the best leagues in the world can be held to 0 goals if the offense fails to get the puck to the net. Conversely, the most cliche interviews with with best players in the world cite a specific plan of getting traffic in front of the net, getting shots on goal, and hunting for rebounds. In this module we'll give you some key principles that will help get your team on the same page. We'll show you how to convert power plays into goals.
Penalty Kill
A good penalty kill starts with a unified forecheck. The next step is holding the blue line in the neutral zone. Finally, once you’ve given up entry into your zone, all players need to be on the same page,or your PK is dead in the water. Offensive strategy in hockey revolves around creating odd-man situations. Creating a 2 on 1 against an opponent gives the offense more options and room to be creative. Being one player short for 2 minutes naturally gives the team on the power play a great opportunity to create these 2 on 1's. In this section we'll show you how to defend the prime scoring area of your own zone while not over committing against the offense. 'Holding the fort' with slightly static positioning will allow you to kill vital seconds off the clock, and kill the penalty for your team. More than any other scenario in hockey, a good penalty kill requires all teammates will need to work together to 'get the kill.'Views: 8957$19.99 -

How to Play Hockey Module 2: Defensive Zone TacticsViews: 6636$19.99
Module 2: Defensive Zone.
This module starts with defensive zone fundamentals. We explore the zone without the puck, and then with puck possession. The breakout section is quite extensive, and gets a lot of traffic. Defensive zone tactics can have subtle variations at higher levels but all systems have common principles. We’ll stick to the key concepts, but explore them in detail in some of the videos. This is the module most members spend the most time studying, and revisiting often. We encourage you to take your time here.
Defensive Pressure
The other team is so good, so how can we stop them from scoring? This module addresses key principles of defensive zone coverage that can be used on novice teams, and NHL teams alike. Not much changes as the level gets higher, the allowable margin of error just shrinks to zero. When you are done here you'll have a more complete understanding of team goals in your own zone.
Defensive Coverage
Understanding these concepts gives us a better idea of how to dictate the play while on defense. Our body position, stick placement, speed and angle of pursuit all affect the offensive players decision making.
Breakouts
We finally got the puck, now how do we get out of our zone? In this module we look at the key principles of getting out of your zone together, which always varies depending on the pressure you are getting from the opposing team. There are a few universally accepted breakouts that have withstood the test of time. We think teaching those concepts is a great place to start in this course.
