HELP CRAFT THE NEXT GENERATION

We’re seeking coaches who are eager to share their knowledge and contribute to our coaching community.

Whether your approach is tried-and-true or something new, we value ideas that are impactful and engaging. If you have a message that can resonate with fellow coaches and players, we encourage you to apply.

Your experience and insights can make a difference—join us in shaping the future of hockey coaching.

The skills I have in my toolbox from preparing and executing my on-ice presentation with the help of the TCS staff are invaluable. During and after the conference, I have expanded my network of coaches which has led to additional opportunities to get involved in the game.

Presenting at TCS Live was an important career milestone as well as a terrifically fun weekend. The event allowed me to absorb cutting-edge information and build relationships with colleagues from around the world. TCS Live is a can't-miss event for high level hockey coaches.

My experience presenting at TCS Live was nothing short of a wonderful opportunity. This event helped me gain confidence in speaking in front of a huge audience of knowledgeable hockey people, which will help me down the road when speaking in front of large crowds or my team in-season.

PRESENTATIONS FROM PAST EVENTS

CREATING OFFENCE INSIDE THE DECISION ZONE

BRANDON NAURATO / UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Brandon Naurato's quick rise up the coaching ranks has seen him go from a Player Development Coach with the Detroit Red Wings to Head Coach at the University of Michigan in under five seasons. During that time, we're proud to have had him on our TCS Live stage three times.

At the 2022 TCS Live, Naurato shared a presentation about creating offence in the decision zone with numerous examples from NHL play. Throughout, he introduces a Problem-Solution-Action plan, discusses when to attack vs. possess, and why it’s important to stay out of "the cemetery".

HOW TO TEACH AND SELL TEAM DEFENSE

ANDRÉ TOURIGNY / UTAH HOCKEY CLUB

We’ve had the privilege of working with many NHL coaches over the years at TCS Live and that continued with André Tourigny, who is currently the Head Coach of the Utah Hockey Club.

Tourigny's presentation reviews his approach to teaching and selling team defence, including why his defensive zone coverage is nicknamed "TSN", in addition to a 1-1-3 neutral zone forecheck, offensive zone forecheck and tracking.

LEVERAGING CROSSOVER PATTERNING FOR SKATING

CATHY ANDRADE / PROFESSIONAL SKATING COACH

In 2022, Andrade taught how to master edges with 3-turns at the Global Skills Showcase and her masterful presentation earned her a spot at 2023 TCS Live, where she taught how to leverage crossover patterning for skating development.

Andrade's on-ice demonstration focuses on optimizing the gilde, improving a player's posture, teaching the mohawk and learning how to use your undercut when coming off your inside edges.
