Vancouver Canucks Skills Coach Glenn Carnegie: Developing Elite Talent

When people hear “skills coach,” toe-drags and saucer passes probably come to mind. But for longtime Vancouver Canucks skills coach Glenn Carnegie, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

He would then move on to become the strength and conditioning coach of the Manitoba Moose before making the jump to the Canucks in 2009.

So how exactly do you help develop such elite players with so much skill already in their arsenal? Find out in this week’s episode of the Glass and Out Podcast!
