Our guest on this episode is Coach Michael Zigomanis, a former professional hockey player turned youth hockey coach. He was with the Pittsburgh Penguins when they won the Stanley Cup in 2009. Since that time, he has coached kids from 11-18 at A/AA/AAA levels.
Coach Ziggy, as he is known, has thought deeply about hockey and how to coach. We talk about his rules for players, his approach to practice planning, his power skating technology, and finally, John Wooden, the winningest coach in college basketball.
Although Coach Ziggy uses simple principles for developmental coaching and skills coaching, he finds them very difficult to implement.

New coaches often feel like they are imposters, meaning that they don't know what they are doing. Sometimes this feeling persists even after multiple seasons as a winning coach. Our guest on this episode is Coach Chris Lothier, who both feels like an imposter and has coached three championship teams in a row.
Rather than establishing himself as an authority, Coach Chris empowers his coaching staff and players to drive both the culture and hockey. The tactics that he uses includes allowing players to choose the MVP, letting players choose drills, and using positive affirmations.

2. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘being a vocal leader’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
3. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘holding people accountable’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
4. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘cheerleader’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
5. In your opinion, who would you trust communicating with coaching staff on team issues (name up to 3 individuals)?
6. In your opinion, who would you trust delivering messages from the coaching staff (name up to 3 individuals)?
