Quick answer
Sportplan's ice hockey session planner lets you build a training session online from Sportplan's library of ice hockey drills, with diagrams, many with video, or from your own sketches. Add drills, then save, print or share the plan with coaches and players, and present it full-screen at the rink. Or ask Kit, Sportplan's assistant, to plan it for you.
Every drill in the planner comes from Sportplan's library of ice hockey drills, with diagrams and, for many, video.
Yes. Sportplan's ice hockey session planner lets you pick drills from the library, add your own, and save, print or share the finished plan.
Work on one skill at a time with lots of touches on the puck, then move it into a small-sided game so players use it under pressure rather than just drilling it.
Start with a skating or passing drill with no opposition, add a defender or a time pressure, then finish with a small-sided game that uses the skill.
Systems are a team's agreed patterns for attack and defence, such as how forwards support the puck carrier or how the defence covers in the defensive zone. Keep them simple for younger or newer squads.
