Producer Marty Schupak applies his winning sports training format to the world of youth hockey in Championship Hockey Drills & Ice Time Management, an excellent program chock full of tips and techniques. Instructors (and former hockey pros) Nate and Bo Leslie show viewers how to get the most out of their team's ice time and space. Due to the popularity of hockey in many parts of the country, coaches often have to share the ice. The Leslie's “grid” approach (cooperatively dividing sections of the playing area among teams) allows six stations on any given rink, which will accommodate over 40 players. The drills presented here include “chaos” drills, in which the object is to keep defenders off-balance through deception (these drills are also designed to allow multiple players to be active simultaneously), and others involving passing, shooting, and skating skills (using an obstacle course), as well as fun mini-games to wrap up practices. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (C. Block)
