COACHES: This is a great teaching clip for an extremely underrated concept in hockey that we need to be talking about more: Beat your man up the ice. Watch Hoglander chip the puck around Bouchard off the draw and beat him up ice to get rewarded with the goal.... show more

COACHES: This is not a flashy clip but shows amazing breakout principles from each player on the ice. Great shoulder checks from D1 going back to get the puck on first touch, and then he activates up ice on the weak side. Great surf and defensive stick to force the dump from D2 - and then close support as D1 had heavy pressure. He's also shoulder checking. Great use of body to shield the puck from pinching D and outlet to C from the RW. Great low and slow support from the C behind the puck. Great job by the LW stretching out the opposing D creating the lane and space for D1 coming up the ice. Everyone shoulder checking. Everyone working to get up ice after their puck touch. If you go back and watch each player in this clip individually, it's beautiful. All of these little things add to a great breakout sequence that starts the play for the goal. An incredible clip to show your teams!!

COACHES: This is a teaching clip you see at the higher levels of the game a ton on the importance of the discipline of F3. So many times you'll see F3 not reading the first two forwards low and screaming down too aggressively giving the opponent an odd-man rush the other way. On this clip, Washington's F3 shows discipline and patience, backing out knowing the first two forwards were caught low. This diminishes the opportunity for an odd-man rush and takes away good ice in the middle of the rink leading to no passing lanes. The Ducks end up turning the puck over and Sourdif the F3 gets rewarded with the goal. A talked about a ton at the higher levels of the game and a great teaching clip for F3!!

COACHES: This is a great clip from the Flyers on modern ozone play. A couple highlights of positive things they do here: -They change sides multiple times and go low to high/high to low in the zone. This spreads out the opponents dzone coverage opening up ice particularly in the middle. -Everyone is moving! Movement is way harder to defend than standing still. -Weakside D activation. The weakside D activating allowed them to keep possession of the puck after the initial shot and then get the rebound for the goal. -Positionless hockey. The goal was scored off a shot from a defenseman in the slot and then another defenseman getting the rebound right at the net front. Great job by Philly!!!!

COACHES: So many teams at higher levels are swarming on the PK on 50/50 pucks in the corner. I love this mentality but you have to be detailed and all your players have to be on the same page. On this goal, VAN tries swarm as the puck goes to the corner off the retrieval. But watch the VAN forward - he needs to seal the wall and not allow the low to high keeping it contained in the corner. He has his stick up and is a step late allowing the puck to go up to the point. CGY then does a great job attacking quick before VAN can get back into lanes and their structure. Playing aggressive like this is a great mentality, but for it to work it has to be ALL IN with everyone detailed and doing their job. Great teaching clip!!

COACHES: When most people talk about tracks or backchecks, it's about skating back hard into the defensive zone. But how we should be talking about them is starting in the offensive zone. If you want to be a team that's hard to play against, teach and preach tracking from the opposing goal line all the way back. This is a great clip demonstrating an offensive zone track. McDavid hounds the puck, creates the turnover, and then does McDavid things to create the goal. UNREAL. But not only is this a great clip demonstrating an offensive zone track...it's also a great clip to show your team about buy in. Here's the best offensive player in the world hounding the puck defensively. If McDavid is bought into it, your star players can to. Look out for the Oilers...

BREAKING: Here is the video that the family of the man who was just shot by ICE in Minneapolis recorded as they were on the phone with 911 trying to get the police to come out to their house and while ICE was still outside. ICE appears to be blatantly lying about what actually took place. As you can see, this man has a young child in the home, and they tell the dispatcher that ICE had followed him home and then ran up to the door and shot him as he tried to escape into his home. Listen to the terror in their voices. This needs to end now. This is the Gestapo.

KIDS: I had a Russian coach growing up, one of the best coaches I've ever had, whose biggest habit he instilled in us was moving without the puck. He would make us do a somersault on the ice if we passed the puck and just stood there in practice. All practice he would be yelling GET OPEN!!! Our team was the best I've ever seen with give-and-go's. We were programmed to always be moving to support the puck, especially just after we passed it. We developed so much hockey sense under him with that mentality as it continually forced us to anticipate where the play was going. That year, we won the National Championship and we had a ton of players end up playing college hockey. This is a PHENOMENAL clip of what he would have been so proud of. Pass, move, get it back, goal. Nolan Allan gets the puck, moves it quick, dashes right to the net while the defender watched the pass, and then receives it right back and buries. Absolute gold. Coaches, this is a great clip to show your teams on the power of moving away from the puck and the give-and-go. Great job and congrats to Allan on his first NHL goal!!

When I was coaching at Cornell, I worked mainly with the forwards and one of the things I loved to show on video was “Effort Before Offense” plays. A great effort to force a turnover where we could then go in transition. A won battle or race for possession of the puck. Taking a hit to make a play so teammates could get a scoring opportunity. The players loved it and it helped us buy into a relentless identity we wanted to have to pursue pucks…so we could have it more…so we could play more on offense. This would be one of those clips. It’s a great effort from the Caps’ Raddysh to win the shot retrieval battle. He then gets it up to the point, goes to the dirty area of the ice, and gets rewarded with the goal. Winning the shot retrieval battle. Getting to the dirty area. Effort/desire decisions that led to the goal. Great job!!

COACHES: This is the beautiful game. One of the best ways to create offense on the rush is a delay and then finding the second wave beating the opponents up the ice. It's one of the hardest plays to defend as it takes incredible communication and sort outs defensively to do it right. Here are two great plays from last night. There's a "Gretzky escape" towards the wall and then great passes to D that have jumped up in the play. As a coach, you should be doing drills every practice that have a delay concept to it. It's such an important part of the game now. Great job by WPG and DAL!!

COACHES: Are you practicing breakouts from your Dzone coverage? This is a great clip from DET on the value of playing FAST in transition from the Dzone. The outnumber the puck down low to create the turnover and then BOOM watch how fast they go north once they get the puck. This is a phenomenal identity clip to show your team if you want to be a team that's dangerous in transition. Great job!!

COACHES: For a lot of goals, you can rewind the clip back 10-15 seconds and you'll see some sort of effort or buy in play to win possession or get the puck back. I would show these clips to our players and call them "Effort Before Offense" plays. This goal from Vegas is a perfect example. Holtz explodes off the puck drop and wins possession for the team even though the puck gets "won" to Anaheim's side. Great effort, detail play. Then their star play in Jack Eichel wins a foot-race and battle to the puck in the offensive zone setting up Barbashev for the goal. Two great effort plays leading to the goal and a great clip to show your teams!!

KIDS: One of the hardest things for talented players as they move up levels is to accept and excel in a role that may be a little bit lower in the lineup than what they’re used to. Every level you go up, there are more and more talented players and more often than not you’ll have to earn your way up the lineup. The best way to do that is to play your role to the best of your ability to build trust with the coach so that when time comes for changes in the lineup, they see your value and want to bump you up. Be the hardest worker, do the little things, and excel in the role you’ve been given. Tye Kartye was well over a point per game in the OHL. Three years ago he was the AHL rookie of the year. A few weeks ago he was a healthy scratch for Seattle. And this clip is what is going to earn him more ice time and a chance to have an impact. Check out the second, third, and fourth efforts he gives on this goal. Battles, gets knocked down, comes up with the puck, and then uses his skill and is rewarded with the assist. It’s easy for talented players to have a bad attitude when asked to play a role lower in the lineup. It’s obviously not good for the team, but it’s not good for the player either as they try to get out of it. A great attitude, an insatiable work ethic, and excelling in the role you’ve been given is what EARNS you more ice time and roles. Great job by Kartye!!

COACHES: This is another HUGE pet peeve of mine. Players trying to do it all themselves and making a potential rush opportunity into a 1v1. The higher the level you play, the less likely a player will beat a defender 1v1. Especially on the rush. I see so many kids try to do it themselves - and if the kid is talented enough at the younger ages it potentially may work out. But as players advance to higher and higher levels, you rarely see anybody try to beat a defender 1v1. And even more rarely do you see anybody actually beat a defender 1v1. I see so many coaches rewarding kids at the younger ages for taking the puck from one end of the ice to the other and scoring. While it's great that a number goes on the scoreboard, you are doing a disservice to the kid's development. Because if that kid doesn't learn the value of passing and using their teammates, at some point this clip is going to happen to them. A LOT. And that player will eventually get passed by the kids that learned to play the right way with their teammates. On this clip the ANA player tries to do it all himself and the puck goes the other way and eventually ends up in the back of his net. It's hard enough to beat one person 1v1 in high level hockey, let alone skating the puck through multiple defenders. So coaches, please emphasize the value of using your teammates. I see this type of play SO OFTEN in youth hockey. Passing, hockey sense, playing with your head up, using your teammates...these skills translate to the next levels. Doing it yourself, even if it works as a young player, does not.

KIDS: Sidney Crosby will go down as the best player of my generation. I've gotten to see him a few times in person and he is hands down the best player in person I've ever seen. His gift? I think he does the little things better than anybody else. Puck battles, being in the right place for support, puck protection...the little things that may go unnoticed to the casual fan he is consistently great at. One of those habits is being around the net with his stick on the ice. He is always getting to the dirty areas of the ice ready to score. In his career he's scored close to 600 goals...most of the time by getting to the net, winning battle for position, and having incredible in tight skill. So if you want to score goals - get to the net. It's not easy, it takes pride, but it's where the goals are scored. Check out Crosby on this one. It won't go down in the highlight column but it's amazing in it's simplicity. Go to the net with your stick on the ice. It's a staple for Crosby, who will go down as one of the best players of all time.

COACHES: Here is a GREAT teaching clip of something I see in youth hockey all the time. A player will skate the puck towards one of their teammates and will then pass it to them. It's one of my biggest pet peeves in the game. When you skate the puck towards your teammate, you're effectively bringing defenders towards them too so when you give them the puck you've put them in a difficult spot because now with more defenders near they have less time and space to make a play. This clip is a great example. The CHI defenseman skates the puck toward his partner and then tries to give him a pass. They turn the puck over with two CAR forecheckers now right there and the puck ends up in the back of the net. In youth hockey you see defenseman do this a lot and even more so they'll skate it towards their winger and then give them the puck either on the breakout or in the neutral zone. A better solution would be to move it right away or suck defenders towards you (and away from) your teammate so when you pass to them they'll have more time and space. Phenomenal teaching clip on time and space!!

KIDS: Nathan Walker is 5'9. He's from Australia. Over his 12 professional seasons a majority of his time has been spent in the AHL, playing over 400 games in the league. Right now, he's a 5'9 bottom six player for STL. How many bottom six players do you see at that size? And then you watch him play. He's relentless. All over the ice with speed and tenacity. He's not afraid of anyone or any area of the ice. Check out this goal from last night. Right in the dirty areas, battling for positioning to take the goalie's eyes away in front of the net. And eventually, he gets rewarded with the goal. Everyone has a different path, and Walker's was the long way. And if that path is the long way, you better be willing to be the hardest working player on the ice. And do the little things that may not show up on the scoresheet but can help your team win. I want to say it again - everyone has a different path. And most are the long way. Nathan Walker is a great example to look to for having the will of what it takes to achieve your dreams.

KIDS: When players on a team care about each other, winning cultures thrive. A lot of that culture is built off the ice with relationships, but it's also really built on the ice with buy in, sticking up for each other, and unselfish play. This unselfish play here from Artemi Panarin shows why he is one of the most popular teammates in the league. It's a small thing, but worth the weight of gold in the locker room. In a league where goals are at a premium, and goals equal dollars, Panarin has a clear open net for the goal but chooses to pass it to Kreider. And yes, one can argue that he should've shot it in a one-goal game. But I still love it. When top players are unselfish, that goes such a long way for setting the tone for the team's culture. The Rangers are only one point back from the top of the league, and as small as a play as this is, it's probably a big reason why. I'm also a believer in the Hockey Gods. Because what happens on the following shift...Panarin gets the puck and scores another empty netter. Awesome. Coaches, this is a great clip to show your team and especially your top players. Great job by Artemi Panarin!!

KIDS: Nic Dowd is from Alabama. Went to Culver Military Academy. Played in the NAHL then USHL. Went to college as a 20 year old freshman. Played four years at St. Cloud. Spent a couple full years in the AHL before being an NHL regular as a depth player. Now on the ice taking the faceoff in the Western Conference Finals up a goal in the Dzone with Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner on his wings. Everyone has a different path. And if your path is the long way, be a great teammate and a versatile player. Dowd is widely known as an unreal locker room glue guy. And a great role player. What an effort to score this goal beating everyone up the ice to seal it for Vegas. This is why I love watching the playoffs. Players who don't normally get the spotlight stepping up in big situations to help teams win. Hockey rules.

And if your path is the long way, be a great teammate and a versatile player. Dowd is widely known as an unreal locker room glue guy. And a great role player. What an effort to score this goal beating everyone up the ice to seal it for Vegas. This is why I love watching the playoffs. Players who don't normally get the spotlight stepping up in big situations to help teams win. Hockey rules.

COACHES: One of the most underrated traits of winning hockey is great line changes. It's so incredibly important, and last night we had two game winning goals directly impacted by them. 1. Montreal turns it over in the neutral zone and Patrik Laine changes. The puck gets transitioned right where he should be but since he gets off it creates the passing lane and the Caps feed their transition game. Anderson can't catch up after he gets off the ice which allows the time for a delay on the rush and BOOM - game winner for Washington. This play may be part of the reason Laine didn't play in the third period. 2. Rantanen wins the battle along the wall for the puck for Dallas, chips it up to Marchment, and changes. Watch how ready Seguin is for this change - he explodes off the bench and ends up scoring the game winner. If he's not READY to go, he doesn't score here as he just beats his man towards the net. Unreal job. Line changes MATTER. Get your team to buy in to changing efficiently and you'll have a better hockey team.
