Option 1 Graphic:

I teach my players possibly the most useful defensive play in a 3v5 shorthanded situation - called the WALL.

This play requires the three players left on the ice to grasp hands, and get really close to their teammates, making an impenetrable wall a-la spartan soldiers with their shields. Then, they will stand near the goalie, blocking all possible shots by the opposing team until shorthanded time has expired and the rest of their team gets out of the penalty box.

Option 1

Youth hockey doesn't really require intricate systems for several reasons. Firstly, young players are in the early stages of developing fundamental skills like skating, passing, checking and shooting. Teaching them complicated systems can be overwhelming and counterproductive. Emphasizing individual skill development and basic teamwork is much more important at this stage in their development.

Furthermore, and this ties into the first point, my players have varying levels of skill, experience and understanding of the game. Complex systems might confuse the less talented players and deter them from developing further. It's important to keep the game accessible and allow all of the young players to play to their strengths.

Youth hockey should also prioritize creating a positive and inclusive environment. Focusing on systems may lead to an overemphasis on winning, which can result in undue pressure on young athletes. And that can make them choke and lose. And we don't like losing.

So the second option and I think the best way that sums up what Isaac Forty One does in Buffalo to motivate his team mates is like comparing him to a drill sergeant in the military when they berate you for damn near existing when they break you down to then build you back up stronger than ever. Forrest Gump in the army type scene.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes they can then be immune to any silly stuff the opposition say cause they heard worse from Isaac in training. They have the mental and physical age to make sure they can give it truly every bit of the potential they have within them.

Outside that it is probably ignore them once they clock out for the day. Do not want to grow a bond that will last forever now!

The other option for motivating them is just going "why not just save the shot, goalie" or "Why not simply score the goal you are aiming for.." cause well they are paid to do that. Simply win. Are they stupid?

Lacksamus excels at increasing the caloric intake of all in the locker room. Obviously there is sometimes a cheese component, but it is not uncommon to bring a big ol box of donuts, huge tubs of ice cream and other delicious treats. I realize that you were probably hoping to have some great response like "I make them play their best when sad" or some shit like that, but in reality, i just pump everyone full of sugar and calories. How does that help you may ask? It does not help. It may actually hurt a bit. But you only get one life you know? So while you are here eat some delicious shit and who cares what the "trainers" say - what do they know anyway? I am the one on the ice. Though the other day I did get a bit of a stomach ache after pounding a cup of munchkins donut holes on the bench. I knew I shoulda stuck with the regular glazed and not went for chocolate.

Option 2:

Team unity is the answer here. Too often we get boggled down with who’s job it is to do what, and how we might have made a mistake, or we are not performing well enough. The trick to get more out of each player is unifying them. And I am the glue that gets them on the same page. It can be a simple thing like inviting players out after a tough game to have a few drinks. Or something much grander like having their locker filled with shaving cream, sprinkles, and pictures of hardcore porn on their birthday. But either way they feel like they are part of the team, they know we are there for one another and will have a laugh with them or at them and enjoy in the good and bad times. We become one unit and become a better whole team playing for one another and not just for our own stats. We find a way to dive deeper because we know the guy sitting next to us is doing the same. Creating a single unit to with one goal is my way of getting more out of our roster.

Option 2:
Cale discovered once he was in Philly that the amazing team atmosphere they have been able to create is one of the main reasons for their continued success over the seasons. Having a strong and fun locker room where everyone feels comfortable is one of the main reasons the past three seasons that rookies have been able to come up and instantly have success. The team is able to bring in new members and help make them feel comfortable but at the same time push them to have even more success both on and off the ice. When the players get to know one another they know what buttons to press and when to press them on individual players to help them be their best selves. Whether it is getting into a guys face and calling him out when he makes a mistake and he needs to hear it. Or helping the guy out knowing he is hard on themselves and throwing on the newest drake to help ease the tension. This is why they are the team is able to keep rolling!

If there's one thing Jarrod Lakemore has never been accused of on the ice, it's being lazy. Lakemore always brings a high level of energy when he steps onto the ice regardless of the situation. Though he may not be the best vocal leader, he absolutely is a lead by example type of player. He never takes a shift off, he is always aggressive on both the forecheck and backcheck, and he is always willing to sacrifice his body. This type of play is contagious and his teammates can't help but get energized by his relentless play and do the same. He has enough skill to play with the first liners, but also the grit and energy to rough it up with the grinders and checkers on the bottom lines. He has a knack for getting even the most pampered superstar skill player teammates of his to want to throw their body around and make a physical play. And naturally, if things really aren't going his teams way, he knows how and when to drop the gloves to give his team that extra boost. (161 words)

My play is great at getting the guys all excited and ready for a big game. I'm so old that just the sight of my wrinkly 37 year old body putting on skates gives everyone a big kick and a laugh. They all enjoy seeing my decripit frame tossing on the old hockey gear. Then when it's on everyone smiles and gives me a thumbs up for managing to figure it out in my old age. Then my bones crackle and snap and crumple under the weight but it's all in good fun. Having that much excitement and joy percolating in the room before a game gets everyone in the mood to score goals, stop pucks, and win the game. They all sprint out to the ice and leave me behind to slowly drag my dying body out to the ice. By the time I get there the game is like 80% over but I can still get out for a shift or two.

Option 2:

When it comes to motivating your team mates, the first thing everyone is quick to point out is the idea of being a good role model. Someone who is patient, kind, encouraging, uplifting. Don’t get me wrong. The reason is not for nothing. These are all things that go part and parcel with being on a team.

But Brooklyn is more of the silent leader type. Preferring to lead by example. Throwing the body, blocking shots, chirping the hell out of the other team, giving her all on every play to let her team mates know that she is here to give her every ounce of strength for her team. To work so hard in the hopes that that can inspire and motivate. Who knows if that is what works well. But she has never been one to shy away from hard work. Helps that Brooklyn is motivated in the same way.

Teamwork is the tactic. I have seen a lot of youth hockey games and there are some teams that simply wow with their play, and those are the teams that move the puck really well. Sometimes you watch these young kids play and you’re in shock at how much they pass and how they find open players. To me, that’s the system you want. There will always be a team with an all star player or two, but those are anomalies and you can try and counter that when they’re not on the ice or just play solid.

When playing hockey you are always taught to move the puck, and that the puck will always move quicker than the man. In addition to that, I am going to implement some small positioning tactics, like where to be in our own zone, and how to break out. Lastly, and maybe one of the more important things, discipline. No penalties, just play clean hockey, skate and move the puck. There’s not many youth teams beating a team that can do all these things right.
