[net.sport.hockey] Any Coaches Out There?

I have been an AHAUS coach for 5 years. I currently have a
peewee (12-13 yr. olds) team at the traveling team level.
Are there any other youth hockey coaches out there that would
like to share coaching philosophies? It would be interesting
to compare notes on things like breakout systems at various
age groups, setup for sustained attack in opponent's zone,
etc...

Also, for all you hockey fans, if you can't get enough of this
great sport, try visiting your local rink and watch some
all-star travelling teams play. Especially at the bantam level
(14-15 yr. olds) - you get some great hockey for free (usually)
and there are usually lots of good seats.
The only warning is to try to ignore the parents of the players.
This sport, above all others (probably due to the investment in
time and money by them) brings out the worst in youth sport
parent behaviour.
