A typical Enrich session starts with a playful small sided warm up, sometimes not even hockey, then splits the squad across two or three micro games, each focused on one principle or dimension, with every player rotating through all of them. From there the session builds from micro to macro, ending around 6v6 or 5v5, with one day a week reserved for a big 8v8. Watch the full masterclass: Small Sided Games.

Enrich sorts training tasks into five types, running from least to most specific: transfers (non-hockey games), skills work, drills, micro small sided games and macro ones. Skills work only pays off individually or in very small groups, and cone-based drills he calls a waste of time with a poor return in growth, performance and motivation. The two small sided categories are where he wants practice time to go. Watch the full masterclass: Small Sided Games.
