For almost 20 years, Jay Woodcroft has held several coaching positions. From being Mike Babcock’s video coach in Detroit to Todd McLellan’s assistant in San Jose and Edmonton, Woodcroft now finds himself leading the high-powered Edmonton Oilers after spending four seasons with their AHL team, Bakersfield Condors. Jeff and Elliotte chat with Jay about his playing career and how he found himself behind the bench, coaching McDavid and Draisaitl, the length of a good video session, his style of play, coaching 3-on-3 hockey,  lessons he picked up along the way from other great coaches, video sessions with Yzerman and Datsyuk, and he talks about his favourite podcasts.
