I dunno. Hockey isn't like football where there's endless plays, audibles to memorize and blitzes. It's the same formation to start plays (ie after the face), and pretty much the same formation to defend (ie, defenseman down low and forwards defend the points) as well as offensively too, since defenseman are always at the point and centreman are usually ones in the crease.
If maybe you'd see coaches try weird things like the defensemen taking the offensive face off and the winger is at point on their offwing, I could see it. The only time we really see that stuff is on power plays.
These guys are all playing the same stuff throughout their whole career
