This is amazing content!! I feel like a kid on x-mass morning....I love coaching and this site has really helped me become a better coach. Thank you Tom
I watched PeeWee U 12 practice last night, and the Coaches ran a great practice. Lots of transition drills, the kids were having a great time, and the Coaches seemed very relaxed, compared the ther Bantam practice that was going on next door. Have a look at the PDF of one of the transition drills they ran, I wish I could explain it better, the kids sure knew how it was run.
One of my friends was just appointed as the Head Coach of a IIHF third division country. They will be in the world championships for their group in the spring. He has never been a head coach before but was a long time captain of the team and asked me to give him some team play ideas. I have put together links to the type of systems that I like to use. I am not a big 1-2-2 fan and instead use a forecheck that has worked a lot better for me and the one we used when I was with the Red Bulls in Austria.

B600 - Give and Go - Wall Support - Shot x 2 - Pro
https://youtu.be/rcPZ7LZCbnA
Oldrich Jindra just posted a youtube video of drills from where I coached in Salzburg, Austria. They are pretty good. First one is on the outdoor rink which is a great place to run a practice on a nice day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuJkgcUUi6k
I am starting to work on the shooting and scoring section of the Swedish material. It starts with the concept that the 'puck has eyes' and illustrates the 'Five Scoring Areas' that work very well vs. a stand-up goalie. They are now a rare breed. Another Swede Thomas Magnusson gave a great presentation at an IIHF coaching symposium that I attended in Heidelberg, Germany 2010. He outlines how to score vs. the modern day goalie and where the goals come from. Only the Swedes and Finns study the game with such detail.
D200 Game 1-1 to 3-3 - RB Pro
Key Points:
Offensive player use moves, change of pace, etc. to try and score.
Defensive player maintain defensive side with a tight gap.
Description:
1. Coach shoot the puck in and one player from each team compete.
2. Short shifts of about 20".
3. On change either the coach shoots in another puck, regroup with the goalie or pass to a teammate.
Cross ice game of 1-1 to work on:
a. Role One the player with the puck - puck protection, escape moves, shooting quickly, rebounds.
b. Role 3 the player checking the puck carrier - always stay on the defensive side, maintain tight gaps, stick on the puck, tie up the stick on the rebound and transition to offense.

D200 Game 1-1 to 3-3 - RB Pro

DT4-Jokers at Point and Below Goal Line - Czech Youth
Key Points:
Regroup and get open. Defender go from role 3 to 4 and attacker from role 1 to 2.
Great game for transition between all 4 game playing roles.
Description:
1. Play from 1-1 to 3-3 with one joker at the point and one below the goal line.
2. When defender gets the puck he must regroup with joker at the point and a play to the low joker must be made before a shot can be taken.
3. Joker to joker passes are ok.
4. Point shots are ok after a pass to the low joker has been made.

Quote by: TomMB5 - Shots From 3 Lines - with Give and Go U18 F
Key Points:
This is a good warm-up drill for goalies and an effective way to practice taking a slap shot at full speed. Make sure you allow enough time between shooters for the goalie to prepare for the next shot.
Shoot before the top of the circle. Follow the shot a few strides for the good habit and then return to the line on the outside so you don't get hit with a shot.
Description:
1. Line up in three lanes.
2. Start with 1 pass to 2.
3. Allow 2 to cross the blue line and then 1 leave and get a pass from 3.
4. Wait for 1 to cross the blue line then 3 leave and get a cross ice pass from 4.
5. Repeat 5 to 4, 6 to 5, 7 cross ice to 6.
6. Restart sequence with the first pass 1 to 3.

The Finnish U17 Team is playing in a good U18 Mac's Midget Tournament right now. I just got back from watching them win 9-3. They won the first two games 9-1 and 13-0. I was talking with Kalle Kaskinen the head coach and he explained their attack strategy to me. Here it is.
-----------------------------------
T2 - Finnish Attack - U17
Key Points:
The key is to attack the forechecker 3 on 1.
Description:
1. D to D or D tight turn to lose first checker.
2. D attack the second wave with the strong side wing flying up the boards and C in the middle.
3. Pass to C or W and do a wide entry or soft chip by W that C picks up.
4. Wide W give width and stay wide going to the net.
5. Middle D be 4th man on the rush.
