One the great bits of fortune I’ve had has been getting to work with @belfryhockey going on 7 seasons. It’s impossible to share how much I have learned from Darryl in this space & do him justice, but makes it easy to recommend his book to any coach, teacher, athlete or student. https://t.co/e7CMhgkXk3 (from X)

Belfry Hockey book cover
Darryl Belfry, Scott Powers, Patrick Kane

Darryl Belfry is hockey's premier development coach, with clients including Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, John Tavares, and Auston Matthews. But his highly sought-after training methods aren't only for elite NHL stars; Belfry's unique approach has helped players of all levels uncover new pathways to performance excellence. Belfry Hockey details this powerful curriculum, developed over years of studying relentlessly to identify strategic advantages others were missing. It's a system that emphasizes discovering authentic identity, pinpointing translatable skill, building a personal performance matrix, and more. Belfry also expounds on topics including his "leading from behind" technique and how to create time and space through stick handling, skating, and body position.
