EC Kassel Huskies Head Coach Todd Woodcroft: Principles over tactics, owning the puck and coaching gratitude
Glass and OutShow Notes
In episode 324 of the Glass and Out Podcast we're heading over to Kassel, Germany to catch up with Todd Woodcroft, Head Coach of the Huskies. Currently in his second season in the DEL2, Germany's second division, Woodcroft has his squad competing for a second consecutive regular season Championship. Woodcroft is no stranger to members of The Coaches Site, as he is a five-time presenter at TCS Live and one of the best pure teachers of the game. His attention to detail and ability to break big challenges down into small, actionable steps is remarkable. You can follow him on The Coaches Site and check out his presentations here. The native of Toronto got his start as the video coach for the Minnesota Wild. Since then he's enjoyed a wide-ranging career, which has included scouting roles with the Wild, Washington Capitals, Los Angeles Kings, and Calgary Flames. From 2017-2020 Todd was on Paul Maurice's staff with the Winnipeg Jets before making the move to Burlington to lead the University of Vermont's men's hockey program. Internationally he's been on the staff of Belarus, Switzerland and Sweden at various events, including the World Juniors, World Championships, and World Cup. Listen as he shares why coaches need to prioritize principles over tactics, managing the game by managing the puck, and the gratitude he has for being a hockey coach.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/f6-3hSUAFPw In Episode 353 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome John Lind, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's Director of Education and Research. Sweden has approximately 62,000 registered hockey players, and last season, there were 109 Swedish-born players in the National Hockey League. So, on a per-capita basis, Sweden produces one NHL player for every 568 registered players. By contrast, the United States produces one NHL player for every 1,682 registered players, while Canada produces one NHL player for every 1,073 registered players. This data certainly suggests that Sweden has a secret sauce when it comes to developing elite hockey talent. Lind has been a central figure in shaping Sweden's player development methodology, and as you're about to hear, many of the country's practices are outside the box but have resulted in arguably the most productive development model in our sport. Listen as he shares the importance of coaching effort over outcome, how to evaluate and improve a player's ability to scan, and Sweden's model for youth development through small ice.

As one of the top female coaches in all of hockey, Cheverie has served as head coach of the PWHL's Montréal Victoire for all three seasons of the league's existence, winning the Walter Cup last season and earning PWHL Coach of the Year honours in 2024-25 after guiding the Victoire to first place in the regular-season standings.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pHk81vzOFdY In Episode 351 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome back reigning Stanley Cup champion Rod Brind'Amour. The Hurricanes' eight-year journey to a championship could best be described with one word: conviction. In his first seven seasons as the Head Coach, the Canes qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs each season. This included advancing past the first round on six occasions, including three trips to the Eastern Conference Final. Despite not reaching the ultimate goal, owner Tom Dundon elected to stay the course with GM Erik Tulsky and Rod Brind'Amour's vision for a relentless style of play that required every player to buy into the Hurricanes' blue-collar culture. The reward: a Stanley Cup Championship in Year Eight. Listen as he shares how a cinder block became a symbol for a Cup victory, how to implement a high-intensity style of play, and why off-the-puck play is key to trusting young players.

Babcock made his NHL debut behind the bench of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2002 and took the team to the Stanley Cup Final in his first season.

He later coached the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015 to 2019, helping rebuild the franchise around a young core.
