D-RULES TESTIMONIAL




I wanted to pass on a quick note to Thank Tom and his son Josh from D-Rules for the work they have done with our young 97 born defensemen with our Calgary Rush AAA Program. Tom's coaching style and dedication to detail has helped our d-men in all aspects of their game, especially in the defensive zone. Having Josh to demo the drills was also very positive, as he is not much older and the kids can not only relate to him but also see the end results of the D-Rules Program.... The improvement in our players game was almost immediate.

Playing Defence much like Goaltending has become a very specialized position. If you are a defenseman looking to improve in an environment that is designed for defenseman, and to learn the position with other defensemen from the back end out, then D-Rules should be your only choice. As far as Defence goes, I would not send my son any where else.

The Future of Defense PDF Print E-mail

 

The Defense position in hockey is evolving very quickly. The new NHL rules, which allow much less obstruction, are filtering down to minor hockey levels. This evolution of the rules has brought about a change to the model of the “defense” player. The stereotypical big, strong, physical player with somewhat less skating ability, speed and agility than typical forwards is being replaced with an athlete still sharing the traits of strength and physical play, but who is now relied upon to match speed with attacking forwards, quarterback the team attack and participate to a far greater extent in the rush and offensive zone play.
Learning the art of playing defense is a career long challenge. It is the most difficult position in hockey to master both physically and mentally. The greatest defense players are skilled skaters, masterful passers, expert play makers and gritty competitors.
