Hockey Coaching Video Course Module 2: Defensive Zone
Play With & Without the Puck
The Hockey Coaching Course Module 2: Defensive Zone with & without the Puck is one module of our complete course, How to Play Hockey. The course is designed to take you through the complete A-Z of hockey tactics, theory, and structure in every zone of the ice.
I’ve Watched many of Nate’s video tutorials and they are outstanding. – Andy Murray, 20 year NHL coach, 2009 NHL Jack Adams Coach of the Year Candidate, IIHF HAll of Fame, NCAA Western Michigan Head Coach.
I like the videos!! I am looking forward to the other modules being available for download. I like being able to download them as I fly often and I would rather learn some hockey strategy during that time on the plane than anything else. Coach Bert, Pee Wee House, Kitchener Ontario.
Module 2 dives into the most important aspects of team play, and that is playing in your own zone without the puck. Defensive Zone Coverage systems, tactics, and theories can vary from team to team. There are many ways to skin a cat, but the most important thing is to get your entire team on the SAME PAGE. We try to address various opinions and strategies in this module. We then move into play with the puck. Once you gain possession in your own zone, you want to get out of your zone as quickly as possible. This is commonly known as a breakout. What type of breakout you use depends on many variables such as pressure, support, communication, and time in the game. We go through many different options, and most importantly, how to read pressure and make good decisions.
We have a ton more available for download for you to keep, available right here on the site.
