In Minnesota, we take pride in having the premier development model for youth hockey players, the community based model. One of the most critical components for success under this model is the knowledge and dedication of volunteer coaches. To continually improve the experience and development opportunities offered our players, Minnesota Hockey takes great pride in creating a culture of continued learning among our coaches.
This section of the website hosts skill videos that can assist coaches in teaching various skills. While some of the videos can be quite long, they are all rich in ideas on how to help kids develop their skills through specific instruction and certain drills.
Additional skills videos are available through USA Hockey. View 20 of the National Team Development Program's top off-ice stick handling drills online or check out the mobile coach app.
