Hockey is a game of speed and strength, but its also a contest of skill and precision. Teams that control the puck also control the game and score more goals. Hockey Drills for Puck Control presents 70 challenging drills to help you better control the puck and help your team put more points on the scoreboard. Author Vern Stenlund, a former professional player, is now a successful coach and an instructor for the Huron Hockey School. Huron has graduated more than 300 players to the NHL, and each year enrolls more than 10,000 aspiring hockey players to its clinics.

The drills progress in difficulty from fundamental to advanced and from solo practices to game situations. A special Drill Finder section cross references drills by their related skills categories so you can easily find the ones that fit your needs. Each chapter includes full page diagrams illustrating the drills and features Key Points and Drill Progressions sections in each chapter that • tell you what Huron Hockey School coaches have learned over the years to make the drills most effective, • offer tips to help players and coaches reduce the time to master skills, and • provide helpful ideas to refine the drills to challenge even the most experienced player.
