Calgary Flames Head Coach Ryan Huska: Breakout principles, the lost art of passing and celebrating your wins

In episode 315 of the Glass and Out Podcast we collaborated with Hockey Calgary for their 4th Annual Leadership Day and sat down with Flames Head Coach Ryan Huska. Huska is a good friend of The Coaches Site, having previously joined Glass and Out. He's also presented multiple times at our TCS Live event. This was a special interview complete with diagrams to showcase some of the drills and teaching progressions he's used throughout his career. It offered a fascinating look at how an NHL coaching staff manages the limited practice time they have throughout the season to prepare their team. There is a lot coaches can learn from Ryan's drills in terms of efficiency in delivering a message. Every detail is thought out and no time is wasted. Listen as he shares his favourite drills for breakouts, encouraging competition, why the skill of passing is often missing in today's player, and why it's curcial to always celebrate the small and big wins with your team.
