re: Team sport where the head coach does the least

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.
