Was watching Wings-Preds earlier and I noticed that the coaches didn't seem to be doing much other than calling line changes and diagramming the occasional play. Seems like hockey players are a lot more "on their own" out on the ice than players in most sports are.

Played hockey competitively for almost 10 years. Played all over the US and Canada. With that said, it's true hockey to the untrained eye looks free flowing and disorganized. But its not. There is forechecking. Set up plays in the corners. Neutral Zone traps. Breaking out of the defensive zone. Even coming out of the penalty box and off the bench there are set plays. Plus getting the right line and player combination is imperative for penalties, power plays, and 4-on-4's.

There is more going on than you think.

I would have said baseball easily, but with the how ridiculous the defensive shifts have become managers are doing a lot more. Started out just against LH power hitters and now it has spread to most LH hitters and even some RH hitters. Then again that's mostly advanced scouting and the managers are just going by what a piece of paper tells them.
