June 21-25, 2021
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST
NHLCA GLOBAL COACHES’ CLINIC - Promo Video
The NHLCA Global Coaches’ Clinic is held annually by the NHL Coaches' Association and provides an opportunity for NHL coaches to share their knowledge and expertise with the broader coaching community.
The clinic aims to educate coaches on the strategies and techniques used at the highest level of hockey while ensuring the information is relevant for all age groups and levels of play, so that every attending coach receives knowledge that is beneficial to their growth as a coach, as well as to his or her players’ development.
Typically the annual NHLCA Global Coaches' Clinic occurs in conjunction with the NHL Draft™; however, as a result of COVID-19, the 2020 and 2021 clinics were moved to a virtual format so we can continue to provide coaches from around the world with this valuable continuing education opportunity.
