Match-like hockey drills. The idea of this hockey book is that the focus should be entirely on hockey drills in different categories and that all hockey drills link as much as possible to the theme of match-like hockey training, whether it is a warm up drill, skating or a passing drill. You will, of course find some exceptions in especially the skating drills, where it is sometimes more about drilling down your head and work with the speed, fitness and technique, but many skating drills are linked to, for example defense skating, offensive skating, forechecking or memorizing skating paths - Match-like training. The hockey drills with turnovers, breakouts, offensive drills and 1 vs 1, 2 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 2 or 3 vs 3, of course naturally gets a strong connection to the theme match-like hockey drills. You also get tips on "spices" for the hockey drills, which make a difference, details that cannot be drawn into the drills, but link the drills even more strongly to the theme match-like hockey drills!
