Systems PlaybookHere’s an organized list of all the systems videos. Will be continuously updated as new systems videos are created.
Push Through FaceoffLearn the Push Through faceoff in our fourth entry into the video playbook. We’re starting to really flesh out our playbook as this faceoff again creates a quick scoring opportunity mostly through the center and weak side wing’s efforts, although there is an option to get the strong side wing involved. If well executed, it can work at any level from mite through pro.
Come discuss on the forum.
Net Crash FaceoffLearn the net crash faceoff in our third entry into the video playbook. This faceoff is a tricky offensive zone faceoff that can turn that faceoff into a quick scoring chance using a shot right off the faceoff. If well executed, it can work at any level from mite through pro.

Offensive Zone Slot Shot FaceoffLearn the slot shot faceoff in our second entry into the video playbook. This faceoff is a very simple offensive zone faceoff that can turn that faceoff into a quick scoring chance using a wing lined up in the slot. If well executed, it can work at any level from mite through pro.

Systems LinksJeremy Weiss has put together quite a large library of systems videos that go through D-Zone Coverage, Breakouts, Offensive Attacks, Forechecks, Regroups, Power Plays, Penalty Kills, and Faceoffs. Understanding these systems should give players a good idea of what’s underlying a lot of hockey plays.
Drills LinksIf you’d like more drills to run, Jeremy Weiss has a pretty nice series of drills drawn on the whiteboard. A playlist including more than 75 different drills can be found here:
Coaching Theory LinksTheory on coaching can be a little hard to find for hockey. So much of it is really about working with people and how people learn best. One guy who does talk about it a little bit directly related to hockey is Jeremy Weiss. I don’t always agree with everything he has to say, but he puts out some nice Sound Bytes that should make you think.
