Coach Ryan is going to have another Facebook Live event on Friday. This is great for coaches to hear but also for skaters.
Topic will be
"How to break bad habits in players"
We received a lot of emails and responses for a recap of yesterday's "Tips For Creating Offensive Opportunities". Below is what we went over during yesterday's Q& A with Coach Ryan. Please note these are not all of the offensive opportunities but are few of Coach Ryan's favorites.
Creating Offensive Opportunities:
