I think you're talking about the process of coaching and I'm talking about the theory. I didn't mean that the coach should use the same process to coach all of his/her players. However, consider Mike Keenan. He likes to use public embarrassment to motivate all of his players, skaters and goalies alike. They don't call him the hook for nothing. Of course that's why Cujo doesn't play for him anymore. OTOH, your argument is a non sequitur because it wouldn't hold for third or fourth line players either, regardless of whether they were forwards or defense(men, women, people). Coaching is coaching. The key is to get your players to focus and perform, regardless of position. While a different process may be needed to coach a goalie vs. a skater, the purpose of coaching is exactly the same. Get your player to play well. HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
