  • Wisconsin Head Coach Mike Eaves – AROSA 7 Passes

    I received this drill from Coach Eaves last year, but thought it would be good to highlight again as we begin to prepare for the upcoming season. I use this drill a lot because it works a number of areas in a quick moving drill. Players need to concentrate on good passing and receiving skills,…

  • You Get What You Give!

    I’ve always been a big believer in you get what you give.  The harder you work, the better things will work out for you.  I’ve talked with my players in the past about the work they put in off the rink will make them better players on the rin…

  • Wisconsin Head Coach Mike Eaves – Slovak 1v0 Middle Drive Drill

    Here is one final drill from Mike Eaves. This is another passing drill that works on the stretch pass to a player driving the middle of the ice. Be sure that the players are skating hard on the drive portion of the drill. This will get them used to the speed they need to move…

    Drill runs from both ends at the same time. Working on moving the puck through the middle of the ice. Make sure the players keep their head up while skating for the stretch pass. Timing is very important on this drill. Mass Confusion         .
