As the season moves into its most competitive stretch, the focus naturally shifts. Player development doesn’t stop, but now it becomes more detailed, more intentional, and more connected to how your team needs to perform when the games matter most.
This month’s resources on The Coaches Site are built to support that transition. You’ll find content centered on individual skill development under pressure, refining team play in all three zones, and building practice plans that mirror playoff pace and structure. From sharpening puck skills and small-area habits, to special teams details and game-like decision making, these resources are designed to help turn strong fundamentals into consistent, winning habits.
Whether you’re preparing for league playoffs or end-of-season tournaments, this is a great time to tighten details, create clarity within your systems, and challenge your players in environments that reflect what’s ahead.
