The Belfry Hockey platform is designed for Coaches, Skill Instructors, Parents and Players. The content will be a combination of interviews, player development illustrations, skill teaching techniques, game tactics explanations and zoom call presentations with Darryl Belfry.
The ProActive Checking Course, designed for male and female players, coaches or skills coaches who are interested in the strategies, tactics and skills to better protect their players in contact. This course is about how NOT to get hit. When I look at all the contact resources we have available, and especially with concussions continuing to rise, I felt there was a need for more information on how players can prepare and protect themselves in contact. This course is for those of you in search of an expanded view of players taking contact. The course features 3 sections and 12 modules that are set up as drills you can use with a VoiceOver detailing the theory and technical teaching elements you’ll need.

In the first of the courses, I provide a deep dive into all that goes into building an elite shot release.

When I began highlighting my Linear Crossover findings on social media I started to see it take a life of its own and the definition, utility, competitive advantages and execution points started to get more and more distorted. The objective with this Course is to provide a deep dive to clarify the Linear Crossover, its execution and its situational advantages.
