Here's what NHL scout Svenake Svensson* has to say about limited space and individual practice.

bullet"We shut down the end zones to small (limited) where we practice."
bullet"The individual practice is also underrated."
bullet"I recently visited the Russian champions, Torpedo Yaroslavl's practice for a couple of days.  They practice 20-30 minutes individual technique-drills every day.  And this is the best pro-team in Russia!"

*Svenake Svensson is the European Chief Scout for the Boston Bruins

As hockey professionals study and compare player development in North America and Europe, they frequently conclude that the Europeans practice more and the North Americans concentrate on game play.

The experts now realize that skills are not developed in a game.

According to the hockey coach at St. Johns University in Minnesota:
"When you are afraid to lose, you do things as simply as possible.  Coaches tell players to get rid of the puck, to dump it in, to make the easy play ...  All you learn is not to screw up."
