One of the great arts of coaching is putting players on lines and putting those lines on the ice in a game. Do you give player unequal ice time? Or do you give players equal ice time by rolling the lines? Who do you put on your power play and penalty killing special teams?

Our guest on this episode is John Bird, who won a city championship while rolling lines. John has coached youth hockey for over 25 years at levels ranging up to AAA.
