Welcome to OMHA Video Coach where we review a video clip from game action and then break down the sequence into frames identifying key skills, individual and team tactics, strategy and hockey IQ. Video is a great teaching tool that can be used by both players and coaches.

In the last edition of Video Coach, we looked at the concept of playing Total Hockey in the offensive zone where all five players are interchangeable positionally, read off each other, manipulate defenders and create confusion.

This week we have a similar example that was too good to pass up on – once again, it’s a 5 player attack as they move seamlessly together, filling lanes, creating space to create time, space and defensive breakdowns.
