Puck Retrievals and First Play Mentality
Video Zoom + Ice
We will explore two of the most important skills that a player should be equipped with; retrieving pucks and executing quick plays.
Retrieving a loose puck and making the right play is easier said than done. It takes vision, awareness, anticipation and an intelligent next play mentality. Yet the ability to execute a quick first pass or find space to skate is what separates good from great players. Learn to assess and manage opposing threats; where they are, Is the pressure immediate or passive. Learn to know your play options before you receive the puck. The first play is the most important
