Pyry Lukkarila, Head of Coach Development for the Finnish Ice Hockey Association, is becoming a household name for members of The Coaches Site.
First, Lukkarila appeared on our Glass & Out Podcast, which was one of our most popular listens ever. Then, during that interview, the 40-year-old from Jyväskylä, Finland, mentioned having helped create 10 Golden Rules for how hockey is played in Finland.
This caught the attention of listeners.
As you can read in part 1, 10 Golden Hockey Rules for Offensive Play, we were able to coax the offensive rules out of Lukkarila. Once again, the feedback was tremendous. But one thing we heard a lot: what about his rules for defence!?
Touché.
Since Lukkarila is a gentleman and a scholar, he was okay sharing those rules as well.
Without further ado, Lukkarila’s 10 Golden Hockey Rules for Defensive Play.
For those unfamiliar with Lukkarila, listen to his Glass & Out episode below to get caught up!
