Game Preparation
What we do?
- Video Breakdown
(PP, PK, systems)
- Meetings
(Specific, Team)
- Line combos, matching (keeping certain personnel away from top lines)
What can minor hockey coaches do?
Without video…have asst. coach watch systems, tendencies.
Any repetitive things can be taken advantage of…
Lines etc…
