Episode Description
In episode 331 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome an old friend back in Utah Grizzlies Head Coach John Becanic.
He was a contributor for The Coaches Site pre-COVID and also presented twice at TCS Live. You can check out his presentations on developing hcokey IQ and defending a 5 on 6 situation now on The Coaches Site.
Becanic has over 40 years of coaching experience, with time spent in the OHL, WHL, NAHL, and now ECHL. The longest tenure with a team was from 2003-2009 with the WHL's Everett Silvertips, where he coached with the legendary Kevin Constantine.
As you'll hear he has a ton of hockey knowledge to share, with a focus on improving and developing a player's habits and hockey IQ.
Listen as he shares why hockey IQ is about transitional skating and thinking, the two keys to playing defensive hockey, and why everthing goes back to a player's habits.
