40-years of Hockey Coaching Experience Packed into 60+ Pages!


"HOW TO COACH
A YOUNG HOCKEY TEAM"

It's the must-have manual
for all Mite and Squirt/Atom coaches!

This manual was written expressly for coaches who work with teams up through about Squirts/Atoms.  Still, many coaches at the higher levels find it a huge help!

One major benefit to this hockey training manual is that it can continue to grow long after you've received your copy...

In other words, although the original hockey coaching manual is as in depth as you'll ever find, your purchase will include access to a special website where you'll have the opportunity to add hundreds (maybe thousands?) of extra ideas -- as you exchange them with other manual owners and like minded coaches.   (Frankly, Coach Chic sees the possibility for numerous drill ideas to also be swapped here!)

 13 chapters are contained in this hockey coaching manual, and these will be addressed in separate areas on the special website!

So again, this is the coach's helper that should just grow and grow and grow!
 
Are you ready to discover everything a former high school and college head coach has to offer?

Order NOW and pay only $19.97
Orders (at this time) will include Coach Chic's
audio program: "Starting 'em Right!"
Listen to this recording every time you wonder if you're doing the RIGHT thing!

* Your Manual arrives as a pdf ebook, so you can read it from your computer, or print it and use the hardcopy (as Coach Chic does).  Some cell service providers even allow for the reading of pdf files on a phone!

Meet the Author -- Dennis Chighisola

Dennis Chighisola is best known around the hockey world as "Coach Chic", a 40+ year veteran of what he jokingly refers to as "the hockey wars".  Along the way, he's head coached at every level of amateur hockey, from Mites to high school to juniors to college (and he even had a few minor pro interviews before settling in to what he does today).

Dennis possesses Degrees in Physical Education & Coaching and Instructional Media, and he's been a USA Hockey Level 5 Master Coach almost since that level was established.  He's studied all over the hockey world, including at the famed Moscow Institute for Sport and Physical Culture (in the old USSR).

Coach Chic is a noted lecturer, author, inventor, video producer and skills analyst.

Countless Chighisola trained players have reached the NHL and other high levels, and numerous elite level coaches and organizations use his training methods and manuals.  (Yes, while he quietly toils in New England hockey circles, the game's higher-ups keep close tabs on what he's doing.)

Still, for all his cutting edge work, Coach Chic is extremely well known for the ways he can help the game's youngest players.  In fact, parents of beginners from around Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island always flocked to have their little ones start under The Old Coach, mainly because he makes learning fun, he instills confidence and a love for the game, and he has nearly a zero percent dropout rate.

Actually, Dennis sees it as a huge advantage, his opportunity to constantly go back and forth between elite level players and young ones.  (Think about it:  how many big-name coaches get to do this?)  And that's reflected in his new manual, which is aimed at helping coaches raise their kids' game from beginner, Mite or Squirt/Atoms to a fairly advanced level.
