Chris Dann

Bio
Nationality: English

Chris Dann took the job at North Bay at the start of Season IV. He was brought in with the club looking forward into the expanded first division. Like the other 3 Division 2 sides moving up to the new Division 1, North Bay's main concern was to stay up and solidify themselves in the division. The hiring of Chris Dann was very much so a "try not to lose" hiring looking at the talent they would now be going up against.

Chris Dann has kept North Bay a lower mid-table team in the league throughout his tenure. With that said, North Bay has experienced wildly successful cup runs in each of Chris Dann's years as coach. Season IV saw them lift the first ever Vase. In Season V they defeated Rapperswil West in the Union Cup Quarter Finals before exiting in the lofty Semi Finals.

System
Chris Dann plays a system meant for any level of talent. This type of play is all out effort. The name of the game is get all 5 players behind the puck and block every shot the opponent takes. When his team picks up the puck, they race down the other way and take any shot that their given. There is no chance to small to go for in a Chris Dann system. If you have the puck and your in the opposition zone, you take a shot.

Forwards in this system would be best suited to be high effort defensive minded players with a burst of speed.

Defensemen in this system are expected to sit back and play defense and nothing else. These are real defensemen. In your own zone you stop the puck from going into your net. In the opposition zone you throw it in to your attackers then sit behind the blueline as to not expose your goaltender.
