Yeah
Hey
Oh
Kevin Bieksa from the Anaheim Ducks Ben Chiarot Winnipeg Jets. Hi I'm Derek pop geese skating in skills coach Vancouver hockey school
Sessions now come into
focusing on skill
But really starting to push the pace and getting into game shape
And and getting into the pace of what an NHL game and practice would be like. Give em' a touch pass you keep it
Just to get the hands going
That's Benny
There now you use me juice quick yeah
Your first pass will come from me and as you come around it comes from juice
down low heels
Push push open. That's me now
That's me boom a lot of guys do a lot of running a lot of biking
But I found that it doesn't you know you could run three miles a day, it doesn't really translate to on the ice so
Skating and getting a lot of my conditioning on the ice is a has been important for me
This summer all right come toss catch on your back and snap it back to aside right. What's it heart rate?
Let's get it to 110 before we go yeah
pull hey
Yeah
Yeah
That is clean
comment so now we got their heart rates up and
We've got their hands working, so now we'll move into D. Specific stuff. We'll get in some into some D to D
Some D to D reverses. We're just looking for crisp passes and
Calling out for your partner to pass over
We're just getting those back those
Good habits back into into game shape so that's what we're looking for on the next drill like this
Let's follow it, but let's not stop
Okay, so we'll follow it, but let's keep our momentum going and let's just make them crisp tongue is ready
Okay
Hey
Danny got down low down low head up come through
Last one juice head off head up. Hey
Good work boys good work this goes back to what I was saying earlier Bowl practice is just cuz NHL players
We still do drills that minor hockey players can do so it's back to basics
They're just d2d passes that players from all ages can be doing so it's not about making complicated drills
So well making drills that make you better
Notice a good habit that they're still calling for the Paki even in practice hood
It's so important all levels kids especially
But you know the pressure the game gave me so fast gotta know where your partner ask a lot of time
He are you getting him out of trouble right?
It just makes it more simple it simplifies everything, and then you can't rush to read
When we start skating in August we try to get in these smaller groups now
It's a little bit different than when I first came in the league
It's more the focuses on individual skill sessions and smaller groups and wraps and game-like
situations specific to us
to defenseman in particular when you first start skating you want to feel the puck and you want to work on your edges and and
And some of the more basic things and because you've been off for a while
and we're used to skating every single day in the season and
Creatures of habit doing the same things over and over so when you're off for the ice for four or five weeks
That's a lot for us, and then obviously you pick up the pace and the conditioning
You know becomes more more prevalent as you get closer to camera
I'm driving forward hips down arms driving forward wedges here. We go boom come on. Yeah
Work work work work work work work work work work
Start the drill you're gonna come up, okay?
forwards
stick okay
pivot pulled look at your guy pass
Transition here, okay quick little touch now you're gonna walk walk walk
Shoot it come down here
Pull the second time
Get the pots from this corner second shot all footwork all footwork
Dirk
Progression based teaching best type of teaching out there for development
Start with something small building blocks build it up
It will make the cut
Thought we worked hard today. I mean it's getting closer and closer to camp so
We ought to really start pushing the pace here
Which we did today got the boys on the resistant harness today got their heart rates up
They burned a lot of calories and don't forget today, too. They also worked out twice
Play tennis. You know we try to do multi sports with the guys, and that's something kids should focus on too
Is it's not just always both being on the ice all summer. You know these guys today
They played three different sports today, and then jumped on the ice in that's how you become better hockey player NHL players play different sports
You guys should too, but for today. We definitely had a tough practice and we're back out at tomorrow morning 7 o'clock
So less than 12 hours later. We're back on the ice ready to push the pace again. I
Want to fly I don't care where it is
Here
You fight for the win fights the win for for the tiebreaker
I'm just out here trying my best trying to get players better
Passes are coming 300 miles an hour from 10 feet away
They like to do this once in a while. It's what keeps the game fun kids games should be fun
