I started posting practice ideas while coaching college women in 2003 and have continued to now. Calgary is where Hockey Canada is and many international teams practice here. We have college and university teams, major and Provincial Jr. teams and a huge minor hockey system. I have coached at all three post secondary institutions. U of Calgary, 8 years, Mount Royal 5 years, SAIT starting my sixth season and one season with the Red Bulls in Austria. I have also coached in the school system, minor hockey from 5-18 year old's, done hockey camps on three continents and seven countries, etc., etc. So anyway lots of hockey practice ideas from all of these sources.
The goal of all of this is to help coaches run effective and enjoyable practices no matter what level they are coaching.
There are close to 2000 ideas from around the world on the site.

DT - ABC Coded Transition Games Manual - 2019
Transition games are the ultimate practice activity to practice game situations and skills. Every situation can be put into a game that uses one puck and there is constant transition between offense, defense and loose puck situations. Modified skill rules can be added. These are REAL Games where the players change on the fly and practice any situation that happens in hockey.
Erkka Westerlund who has been a leader in youth development and a multiple Finland Olympic coach is a great promoter of transition games.
Watch these video clips of a world championship game and an NHL game. At the top right a red, green or yellow dot appears when the teams transition between defense, offense or loose puck situations. Video prepared by Finnish coach Kai Katajalehto.
