So the message from Sean to the players was practice this at home and you will get better at it. I could see how much more stronger the players and team could be in games if they were able to improve these two skills. He was able to demonstrate the benefit of each skill when done to its fullest range. The less noise the better the skill was being performed. Success of performing these particular skills was measured based on the sound of the stick making contact with the puck. The mechanics of the skills were broken down for each player to try in a stationary stance and then put together in skating motion. Sean’s powerful voice commanded the attention of the whole group during each element of the drills. The players were constantly working on their visual and listening skills (two skills that get overlooked in most development activities and under utilized in most games). On the ice, the high paced running of the drills and shifting to the next drill wasted little time. During the flood, the players were briefed on each drill set-up and execution.
