from Josh Yohe at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Hockey coaching techniques have taken huge strides over the past 20 years, with video becoming an integral part of teaching.
The Penguins have taken that a step farther.
Each player who attended this week’s developmental camp will receive a real, live report card in the mail this week. Marianne Watkins, the team’s new power skating instructor, worked with prospects this week and is overseeing a project that will see each player receive a video of his work.
“I think it’s going to be something that’s very helpful to these players,” said Watkins, a Peterborough, Ontario, native who is a power skating instructor at Robert Morris University.
With a new age arena about to open, it seems only fitting that the Penguins would embrace such new age approaches.
