  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_06: Uh stickers are always good, uh, those two.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_06: But uh uh, I'm excited about this episode because way back in July, I think, of last year, we talked about the idea of kids' favorite drills.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_06: What uh is their favorite drill and why?
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_06: And we've kind of morphed that idea into that same concept of whose favorite drill and why, but combining it with our friends over at Drift Hockey, drawing it out on the whiteboard.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_06: So today is a whiteboard episode uh from a goalies perspective, a defenseman's perspective, a forward's perspective, uh, along with their voices and uh and hopefully some uh some memorable one-liners.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I mean, we've got some great kids.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_09: Um, we actually have two goalies.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_09: Uh we we have two defensemen, one's gonna join us a little late.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_09: Love it, and uh, we've got a forward, and um, you know, I'm I'm anxious to not only hear uh what their favorite drills are and their favorite games, but why.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_09: And if there's a little bit of uh making fun of their coaches or doing impersonations or telling some funny stories, I'm here for it.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_06: I think you're wanting them to make fun of you, is what I'm hearing.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_09: Well, I I know that I I got made fun of yesterday at the Francisco the helmet I wore.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_09: I think there were some strange looks.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_09: There's a that it's right back there.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_09: It's the Yellow Cooper SK 2000.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_09: Shout out to Mary Lanillo.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_09: Um, but uh uh this is what it's all about.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_09: And we're in this part of the year where coaches are starting to get back on the ice.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_09: Uh kids are back on the ice, you know, kind of still in a relaxed mode.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_09: And most coaches that I know, when they're out there, they're having fun, they're getting the kids used to being back on the ice.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_09: Um, but uh, you know, before you know it, we're gonna be into August and September.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_09: And like you said, it you're the calendar's gonna turn, and we're playing hockey, uh, hockey for real, hockey to keep scores.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_06: It's an opportunity to be a thief, too.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_06: If you're a coach out there listening to this episode, you're gonna walk away with five drills, check them out, think about if you want to incorporate them into your practice plan, depending on what level kids you coach.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, but the consistency across this is fun.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_06: So I want to hear why these kids think these drills are fun.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_09: Well, and what I'm hoping for is we can name all of these drills just one more coach, part one, just one more coach, part two, just one more coach, because that's the markup.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_09: You know, you've got a good practice going on when the kids like one more coach, one more coach, just one more.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_06: That's what we should end each of these segments with, which is coin your drill.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_06: I can't wait to hear what the kids coin their drills.
• 3:34

  SPEAKER_09: So let me go ahead and you know get uh get the screen up.
• 7:32
  unknown: Okay.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_09: And tell us a little bit about the game before we start.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_09: What are we doing here?
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_09: What are we what are we doing?
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, so it's the one that we'll do at the end of like Ladoo, usually.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_04: Uh you have like two nets facing each other, usually on like the blue lines.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_04: And um, it's like you have like the opposing teams kind of lined up on like the sides of the nets, and it's a 2v2, and you have to race around.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_04: There's like a pug in the middle, and basically at the red one, and you have to it's 2v2, and you have to race around the net and get to the puck.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_04: And then to get possession, you have to pass to like basically anybody that's in that like big line on like the sides of those nets.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_09: And so if you're if you're a blue if you're a blue player trying to score on this net, your guys are on this side of the red line.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_04: Uh yes.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_09: Cool.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_09: So I'll set it up like this.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_09: Do this right here.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_09: And then you start behind where you start behind this net over here, right?
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_04: Oh no, so it'd be like blue just lined up that whole side.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_04: And so yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_04: Gotcha.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_04: And then white would be just like on the other side.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_09: Alright.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_06: So you have somebody to pass to whether you're a defensive zone or the off the defensive side of the center line or the offensive side of the center line.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_09: So you're starting off on this side of the you're is blue trying to score on this net here.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_09: Yes.
• 9:10
  unknown: Okay.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_09: And then we'll do red for the other color just because you know we've got it's hard to see white on it.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_09: Hard to see white on blue.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_09: How's that look?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_09: Good so far?
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_09: All right.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_09: And so you're ra so you race.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_09: So what do we do?
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_09: We race around the nets?
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_04: So you have to the players will have to go around their own net and then go for the puck in the middle.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, I gotcha.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha, gotcha.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, so this is what we're gonna do then.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_09: Let's uh let's move these boys over here.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_09: So basically, what we're doing is this.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_09: We're gonna have the first two guys in line come around the net like this.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and then and then we've got the blue team coming around the net like this.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, get that going.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_09: And we're racing to the puck playing 2v2.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, exactly.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_09: And then you in order before you can score, you've got to pass to a teammate on the side, correct?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it can be anybody, just in the hole.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_09: All right.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_09: What do we want to name this?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_09: Uh what do we want to name this uh this game?
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_04: I was always kind of wondering because I like don't remember.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_04: There must have been a name for it, but I can't really remember.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_09: Let's think about it.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_06: Why open it up to the team?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, why is it um uh help us understand?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_06: Well, why is it uh why is this a fun drill for you?
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I like it because you have to be fast, and then it's kind of a small area in general, so you have to be able to, you know, get open for passes and also make passes.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_04: And I also like it because even when you're like waiting for the drill, you're still kind of in the drill, right?
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_04: Because you could get a puck um for possession from the players that are in the game.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_04: So you're basically always in the drill.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_06: So you gotta be paying attention all the time.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, exactly.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, can the players on the side can they shoot at the net as well, or do they have to just pass?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_04: Oh no, they just have to pass back.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_09: Simon or Gabe, what do you guys think of this drill as a goalie?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_10: Uh a lot of action.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it looks like things can turn around pretty quickly, so you gotta always stay in, and it looks pretty fun.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, for sure.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_09: Almost want to like kick it.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_09: You want to, and since your team's only on one side, you almost want to kick it.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_09: If you're gonna do a kicksafe, kick it to the guys on your side just to start the breakout, right?
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_10: Really close so people can shoot from anywhere.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_06: Absolutely.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_06: I like the word I like how you guys use action to describe it.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_06: Maybe it's uh action jacks.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_06: That's the great movie.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_06: Or lights, camera, action.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_09: Um, but something with the word action in it, I feel like, and and because you got to pay attention to well, let's think of a name here, guys, while we've got this because we're gonna put this up on the website and give you guys all the credit in the world.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_09: Give this is how about okay.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_09: How about how about Will's action?
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_09: Lights action mouth.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_09: Or something.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_09: What do you think, Will?
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_04: Um, I mean, I don't know.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_04: You could go like the simple route and just call it like 2v2.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_04: Something like that.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_09: How about how about we do this?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_09: We're gonna absolutely we're gonna call it mouths, mouth Alexander's 2v2, and that way we know it's not just a regular old 2v2.

• 16:02
  SPEAKER_09: I love it.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_09: I love it.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_09: Well, let's hear first first goalie perspective.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_09: Let's take a look at what we've got going here.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_09: The uh the floor is yours, uh, Jack Nicholas.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_09: What do you got?
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: So um I don't know what my drill is called, but it starts as well, the setup is kind of six you style cross size in one of the in one of the two attacking zones.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter which one.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_09: But nets are inside the circles, yeah.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh outside around the hash marks.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: But it doesn't really matter, just hash marks.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: Right there, yeah, right there is good.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, both sides.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: And this is a um it's a 2v2 drill with back checking kind of.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: So in pretend that that little mini rink is like split in half almost.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: And um so if that's split in half, then it's a 2v2 on like this, yeah.
• 17:06
  unknown: Great.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so then it's a uh it's a 2v2 on one of the sides, and then one player, and then two players are um the two per players from the defending team are sitting at that line waiting for the defense to get the puck and pass to them, and then the forwards have got a back check, and and then the forwards have to back check and um get back to them, and it's kind of chaos, and it's fun because you make a lot of uh desperation saves, and you gotta stay on your toes.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_09: So is it continuous?
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_09: Is it just uh yeah, it's continuous.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_09: So even if you don't score, like the the coach could blow the whistle and you and the next guy's up in line go and become the new back checkers, and the other guys become the new forecheckers.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, actually, I did this backwards.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_09: This should be blue here, yeah.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_09: This should be red down here.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_09: I love this.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_09: This is a great so you start it.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_09: A team starts off as the attacking team.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_09: Yes.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_09: So like coach could say, hey, pick a number one through five, and then whichever team.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: Well, like if you want to say so.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: You could say that the um the red team is starting on attack, they'll start as a they'll start as a two on two with the blue team.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: When the blue team recovers the puck, they pass to their two forwards.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: They go down and they'll sh uh come shoot on the red goalie, and they can go to they go two-on-o, and the red team has to come back and uh back check.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: So the first save is always a desperation save, usually, because they pass back and forth and kind of diving around the crease, but then as um like as you get deeper into it, sometimes they mess up a pass or and it'll become more of a two-on-two.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: And you they can really shoot from anywhere because it's so close, right?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: So you gotta like stay on your toes, and it's a really fun drill.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_09: I love this drill.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_09: So it's a continuous, it's a continuous 2v2 with back check.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: And my um my coach is an old guy, so it might uh perfect time for like a pad stack kind of moment.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_09: Oh no, pad stack, love it, love it, love it.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_09: Are you as Martin Broder your coach?
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_09: That's a big man.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: I wish.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, pad stacking.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_09: So we got a continuous 2v2, and what happens here if blue gets possession, they're passing to their forward to attack, and then the red team is now become the back checkers, and two new red guys come in to replace, correct?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, gotcha, and then they'll once it becomes a two-on-two, then the two red guys will be at the at the center ice line coming going back the other way.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha, because these two red guys, once they cough up the puck, they have to they have to they have to go back check, and then these two blue guys come out.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then we'll usually play about first to five, loser skate, and then we do like best of three usually.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_09: Nice.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_06: I like this drill.

• 20:06
  SPEAKER_09: With first to five.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_09: I love it, love it.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_09: Well, what do we want to call it?
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_09: We'll call this uh let's call this um lead with the back check.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_09: How about desperado?
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_09: Desperado, because it is desperate.

  SPEAKER_09: We will call this one desperado.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_06: It's also great eagles.

  SPEAKER_11: Or if you have no space, you pass it back to the defenseman and then the defenseman.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_06: Why is this uh drill fun for you?

  SPEAKER_09: F1, F2, F3, F4, F5?

  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 31:16
  unknown: Nice.

  SPEAKER_11: Whenever, since we only had three defensemen yesterday at our practice, we did this drill, and a forward had to play defense, and he didn't know when they touched the puck he can move.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_11: He thought if they go past the blue line, and then he can move.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_09: But those forwards don't know how to play defense, do they?
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_06: Was he gassed at practice?

• 31:59
  SPEAKER_09: And the big thing about it is you're saying it's fun because as a defenseman, you can play, you can score goals and play defense.

  SPEAKER_09: What's next?
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_09: What's first?
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_10: So the coach will blow the whistle, like, so he'll go like basically like every like two seconds.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_10: So every whistle, the first forward will go around like like and go halfway through the circle and take a shot on the goalie at the hash marks, or like we set the hash marks.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_09: Right here.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_09: So there's a shot there.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_10: And then it'll just happen, and then they'll do that two other times.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_09: Where do they get the next?
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_09: Is it another another another player?
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_10: Well, if once you take a shot, you go in front of the net, kind of like screening the goalie.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_10: And then once everybody's taking the shot, their shots, um, the next forward in line will pass a puck up to the defense.
• 38:55
  unknown: Okay.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_10: And then then they'll they'll go D to D and then take a shot on goal.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_09: Like it.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_09: So he's gonna pass this D here, and he's gonna go D to D like this.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_10: Right?
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_09: And this defenseman's gonna shoot.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_09: Got it.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_09: So there's no, and then you've got a forward who's trying to tip the puck.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_10: Well, three forwards.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, so three forwards are coming out of the corner at different levels, right?
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, well, they're all going at like the same point.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_09: I see.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_09: Hang on, let's read let's read regroup here.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_09: Let's regroup here.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_09: All right, so we've got this first forward, he's coming close right here.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_09: The second forward's going kind of mid.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_09: Hang on, let's see.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_09: He's mid, and then this third forward's coming high, and they're each gonna take a shot.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, everybody's gonna take a shot, and once they're done taking a shot, they get in front of the net for the next guy to shoot like a screenshot.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_09: So eventually you're gonna have three guys in front of the net for the goalie to contend with.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, gotcha.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_09: This is brutal for a goalie.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, this is a lot of action.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_09: So shot, shot, and shot.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_09: Right?
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and then the next forward, then pass it up to the defense.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_09: And you end up having three guys in front of the net here, like this.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_09: Alright, and then this forward's gonna we're gonna have a pass from the fourth guy in line's gonna pass to the defense.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and then they'll go D to D, and then he'll take a shot.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_09: And then they can get rebounds, and and this is basically this is not a very fun.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_09: I'm surprised the goalie likes this drill.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_09: It's just constant action, isn't it?
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_10: Well, it's not very hard.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, Evan, you hear that?
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_09: He says it's not very hard.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_09: I guess you guys aren't shooting hard enough on no well.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_10: Evan maybe might he might score like one or two ever on this drill, but like so.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_06: Is there another uh is there another step in the drill beyond the routine to defense?
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_10: The same guy will pass it, like make a far pass to the defense, like the other defense will get the puck.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that same forward, yeah, and then they'll go D to D, and then that guy will shoot.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_09: Got it, gotcha.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_09: So there's there's a total of five shots in this drill.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_09: Well, three shots out of the corner, and then each of the defensemen gets a shot, right?
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_09: That's like that's that's a lot of pucks, man.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_09: That's a lot, and do they come from the other side too?
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_10: Uh no, no, just from the one side, and then he'll chip it out to the forwards, and then it'll be like uh three on two the other way.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_06: I love that.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_06: I love that.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_06: So that's the last is that the last uh step in the drill?
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so the coach is right over here with some pucks, let's call it, and he's gonna chip it up to the forwards and they and they go to a three on two, yeah.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_09: The other way.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_10: Oh and then basically they just line up on the other side when you're done, and then it just happens happens over there, yeah.

  SPEAKER_06: You get a lot of action, and what's it like having three forwards right in your grill right in your face?
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_06: How do you do you like that?

• 48:14
  SPEAKER_05: All right, let's draw it up here, man.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_05: So it's only in one zone.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, you're gonna draw an imaginary line through the middle of the ice.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_05: Right like this?
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_09: Is that good?
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_05: And then at the top of the circle, draw a line across from board to board.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_09: Top of the circle.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_09: Like that?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_09: Alright.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_05: Then under both of the circles, put a net.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_09: Where are the nets going?
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_09: Which way are they facing?
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_05: They're facing up the ice.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, so they're on the red line.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but there's two on or there's one under each circle.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_09: So like right here?
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_09: And then right here.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_05: And then there would be four offensemen in one of the circle on one team.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_09: So let's say we want blue over here, blue, four blue forwards.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, like this.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_05: And then there would be two blue defensemen on the other side.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_09: And are they they are they in the circle over here?
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_09: And then I'm saying we're gonna go red since you're after the exact opposite.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_09: So here we go here, and then we'll get some forwards.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_09: And we've got a blue goalie with a blue defense and a red goalie with the red defense.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_09: It's funny how that works.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_09: I'm gonna move this net just a little bit.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_09: How's that?
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_09: Is that good?
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_09: And then a blue goalie over here.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_09: Alright.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_09: Where are pucks coming into play?
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_05: There's gonna be pucks at uh behind the line at the top of each circle with a coach also at the top of each circle.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_09: So behind this imaginary line?
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_09: Alright.
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_09: So put a coach right here.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_09: Put a coach right here.
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.

  SPEAKER_09: And piles of two piles of pucks.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_05: Love it.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_09: Alright, so what's going on?
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_05: Then at the whistle, both coaches will pass a puck to the offense.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_05: Alright.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_05: Then it's race to score.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_05: Whoever scores first gets a point.
• 51:01
  SPEAKER_05: You can race to whatever 10, 5, 2, 3.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_05: Doesn't matter.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_05: You can make it where if it's off a pass or if it's a 1T, you can get two points.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_05: And then but if the defense get the puck, they can either shoot it out, and then the coach will throw in another puck to the offense, or the D can choose to keep it and try and time waste inside the circle.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_09: Time waste inside the circle so that they're play so their teammates on the other side can score.
• 51:37
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_09: I love this.
• 51:39
  SPEAKER_09: I love this drill.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_09: I love this drill.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_05: And anyone can move anywhere within their imaginary square.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_09: You just start in the circle.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_09: Everybody starts off in the circle.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_09: Um, can you go all the way to the boards, or is the or is the red line the barrier?
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_09: You can go anywhere.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_09: You just can't go above this, you just can't go above the or across the imaginary, the royal road there.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, I love this.

  SPEAKER_05: Love it.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_06: And Owen, why is this fun for you?
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_05: It's fun for me because it's really easy just to do.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_05: It's definitely fun competition with all your teammates and good to talk some talk some crap and score on the goalies, even if you're a defenseman.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_05: So you can play forward and defense.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_09: Very cool.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_09: That's that's that's a reoccurring theme.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_09: Reoccurring theme for defensemen.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_09: They like to score the news flash, they like to carry the fucking score.
• 52:47
  SPEAKER_09: That's right.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_09: Evan and Gabe, what do you guys think of this game?
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_10: Uh well, it's close.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_10: And so you get to make a lot of diving saves as a goalie.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_09: Can the goalies uh uh Owen, do the goalies have to play the puck right away, or can they like push it around, you know, push it to the side, or can they clear it out?
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_05: No, if if it goes to the goalie and he covers it, it's a new puck immediately.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_09: Gotcha.

• 56:19
  SPEAKER_07: Uh they reminded me of my favorite drills in like basketball, the 2v1, then you go to 3v2, like the quick, fast-paced ones, I think would be the most enjoyable.
• 56:30
  SPEAKER_06: I I Gabe was talking about stacking his pads.
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_06: Does he have flair?
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_06: Does it have some goalies?
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_09: So I love this kid.
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_09: I'm he I had a chance to get to know him throughout the spring a little bit, and he's one of those goalies who he he's not joking.
• 56:44
  SPEAKER_09: He he is like he doesn't want that puck near him.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_09: And if you're by him, he's gonna give you a little bit of a dirty look and a little bit, a little bit of a little bit of the lumber.
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_06: Love it.
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_09: But we were we were doing this drill where there was a set part of part of the the drill, the goalie on the opposite end wasn't in the play, right?
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_09: And it wasn't gonna come back his way.
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_09: It was this you know, this progression, and so I'm looking over at him and he's just watching.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_09: I'm like, I'm gonna go mess around with him.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_09: So I'm just kind of skating by there.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_09: He doesn't even notice I have a puck on my stick, and I just kind of slide it through his pads, and he looks up like he's like ready to rip my head off.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_09: He's like, You can't do that.
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_09: And so we do that a couple more times, and he was he was he started making fun of my helmet.

• 57:53
  SPEAKER_07: By the time you listen on Thursday, I think it'll be England-Spain, and I think England's gonna do it.
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_09: I think it's like that's like the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the Stanley Cup, man.
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, it's the year of droughts ending.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_07: Uh, Indiana football won, drought ended, hurricanes happened.
