with Mark Carlson, Cedar Rapids Roughriders (USHL) Head Coach; 2004-05 USHL's Coach of the Year.

Mark Carlson is a strong proponent of the 1-3-1 power play. The 1-3-1 offers your team several key advantages including the opportunity to shoot the puck frequently, always having three players at the net for rebounds, great positioning for puck retrieval, the ability to create 2-on-1 situations throughout the zone and positioning for offensive creativity. At the marker board, Coach Carlson details the 1-3-1 and shares strategies for getting the system started quickly at the point, how to position and space and shows the variety of 2-on-1 opportunities that different situations can bring about. Carlson discusses the essential skill set for the 1-3-1 power play that include the wrist shot, the one-time shot from either side and one-touch passing. Carlson then moves on ice and demonstrates all the aspects of the 1-3-1 power play. Increase your power play conversion using techniques from this excellent hockey DVD.

Using on-ice demonstration and game footage, Jack Parker teaches three plays for attacking teams during power play situations. Coach Parker's base play, the BU Power Play, creates 2-on1 situations from numerous angles within the offensive zone while providing shot opportunities for the player at the crease. His 1-3-1 Power Play is designed to create continuous high/low options while producing back-door options away from the puck. Parker's Power Play Rush is a quick-out against pressure that helps produce flow against traps. Each offense provides multiple scoring opportunities when your team is in one or two man-up situations.

Finally! A quality video with detailed instruction and drill integration on how to defend the rush! Coaches Don Cahoon and Len Quesnelle center this hockey DVD around developing the defense to read and react to the different numbered situations that come at them through center ice. Concepts discussed include good skating, vision, communication, using the stick, and gap control. Drills for position development explained and demonstrated include 1-on-1, 2-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-2. Creative team drills simulating game situations (for 1-on-1, 2-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-2, and 3-on-3) are also demonstrated. Defending the Rush offers effective hockey drills and skills for developing defensemen for nearly every imaginable situation!
