[Nick Kieser] Andrew Brunette on The Athletic Hockey Show: Communication with players in today’s game is not like it was when I grew up. You never wanted to talk to the coach and if you did it was no good. Today’s player they want to be helped they want to be heard they want to be seen

    >”What happens if we put the same player on all of our negative clips, even though I know it’s not all on that one player, like I’m picking on him? Or if I kept showing a player just doing good things, because I love that player?” Maurice said. “We wanted to find the cumulative effect of the video we were showing.”

    >So Maurice and his staff embarked on an offseason project.

    >”From Monday to Thursday, the whole summer, from 9 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon, we all got together and reviewed everything,” said Pascal Vincent, then one of Maurice’s Winnipeg assistants. “We were looking for ways to improve.”

    >The Jets’ staff charted videos they showed the team the previous season and tracked the results in the subsequent games. They labeled each clip in one of three categories: positive clip, teaching clip, negative clip. The analytics department took it from there.

    >**As the data accumulated, the coaches couldn’t help but notice a pattern.**

    >**”We realized that we were getting results and seeing more success when we were showing more positive clips,” Vincent said. “Of course, there are many other variables, but that is what the data said. I’ve done a lot of reading on the topic across other walks of life, and it confirmed what I was feeling.”**

    >The feeling has become a massive trend in the NHL: Coaches are finding that it’s more productive to build up confidence through encouragement rather than hitting players with constant criticism. And it’s especially true with young millennials and Generation Z.

    >**”The bully coach, right, wrong or different, has no chance in today’s game,”** Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. “It’s the reality of the players today. You still have to hold them accountable, but you have to do it in different ways.”
