What I thought was interesting at the World Junior Pressconference this monday was that Tommy Boudstedt said that Pat Lafontaine (works in NHL organization and responsible for CHL) wanted to Sweden to share their hockey education program.

Sweden replied: Yes if you pay we will :naughty:

They came to Finland learn about our Goaltender training etc... good job from hockey Canada looking to other nations like Finland and Sweden for things they are doing better.
 
Sweden has been producing a lot of great top end talent who can play a good 2-way game, not the worst thing in the world to look at what they do and borrow from it.
 
Yea apparently hockey canada have sent people to Sweden to be educated on our development system. Tommy Boustedt looked a little to satisfied when he said it :laugh:


edit: seems the russians have done the same thing so it's not only canada. Though they are paying =o

Hey, if Sweden is willing to let Canadians learn about how they do certain things well, one might as well learn a few things. Humility and the willingness to always learn are excellent attributes to have no matter one's standing in life.
 
It's only fair, other countries have learned from Canada too. The sharing is only going to become more common as we go forward. Everyone wants to develop players as best they can, there's no more room for closed mindedness when it comes to teaching young kids how to become hockey players.

Yea i'm sure the swedish federation have learned alot from watching canadian hockey in the past. Like the recent wjc's held in NA for example. You can see how the national team have played better and better especially on small ice.

Sweden, with the consent of Hockey Canada and US Hockey National, has been inviting
North American coaches over to assist with their developmental program since thei inquiry in 2002.

Now Sweden get's to return the favour.

It is going to be pretty neat to see how hockey evolves now that most of the major players cooperate on this.

Finland has been really great at developing goaltending talent. For them it's all about being active in the net, especially with your hands. Which is a contrast to what Canada was doing with the Allaire school of blocking style.

Allaire's style worked in the dead puck area but the game is so fast and open now that the active component taught by Finland is so important. Combine that with what Jonathan Quick has done to the position as far as getting low and crouching forward to cut off the upward trajectory of the puck and you've got the new school approach to goaltending.

Hopefully Canada starts teaching this across all levels.

Proof? I ask because IIRC... he doesn't work for the CHL.

You stated earlier that "works in NHL organization and responsible for CHL". Who does he work for in the NHL? If that is true, then he may be responsible for the development of an individual NHL franchise's players currently in the CHL, but that does not mean he either represents or works for the CHL.
