Hello everyone, sorry for not putting anything out lately. It’s been an interesting few weeks as I’ve been helping out doing some skill sessions on the ice, dealing with some lower back issues, trying to get myself back into shape, and exploring full-time jobs plus future hockey jobs.
All that said, I’ve been planning to put together a series that will run hopefully soon and through the summer that I’ve so far dubbed “Blast From The Past”. These articles will feature players from the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s that had a particular skill set or singular skill that set them apart and can be taught to the current and future hockey players.
I’d like to show videos, GIFs, and drills that players and coaches alike can incorporate into their game or training sessions.
This will hopefully be a fun trip down memory lane (though I don’t remember anything till probably mid 90’s having been born in 1989) and so far I’ve written down some of the following players I’d like to talk about:
Pavel Bure
Brett Hull
Peter Forsberg
Al MacInnis
Eric Lindros
Jaromír Jágr
Paul Kariya & Teemu Selanne
Nicklas Lidstrom
Paul Coffey
Sergei Fedorov
and more!
If you have any players you think that have a certain ability or skill set that should be brought to the forefront, please let me know!
