USA Hockey useful hockey material

[Louisa]

Hi guys,

As some of you may know, I have played and coached ice hockey in America (well Texas - they still had a good level of hockey!)

Whilst I was out there I got this magazine from USA Hockey. I thought it was fantastic!!! I think it would be great if the EIHA did it, but as your know resources etc...

Anyways I've just found out through some surfing that its free online!! Excellent!!

USA Hockey

In this site you have access to the archives so you can see previous editions going back to August 2004. One of the really good parts to these are the tips from the Stars. Take a look at some of the most recent ones:

Hockey Tip of the Month 1
Hockey Tip of the Month 2
Hockey Tip of the Month 3
Hockey Tip of the Month 4
Hockey Tip of the Month 5
Hockey Tip of the Month 6


And there's some basic skills handouts you can print out:
Coaching Skills Handouts

I hope this helps you with your hockey. Good luck!!!

Actually having had another good look at the hockey magazine I found this section:

Tips from the Stars
Coaches playbook
In the crease

There's a great picture of one of the tournaments, the novice section had a team called the Pylons, their shirts were great!!! Can't upload the pics tho
