How do undersized dmen like Jared Spurgeon effectively defend? Good angling and stick positioning ✅

Welcome to The Show, Brian.

[Topher Scott @HockeyThinkTank]

KIDS: When your coaches preach playing both sides of the puck and committing to learning the details of the game defensively...here's why.

Mathieu Joseph was a stud scorer in youth and junior hockey. He even won the playoff scoring title en route to a QMJHL championship with @SJSeaDogs.

But in the NHL, he has primarily played a defensive role in the bottom/middle six of the lineup. And he's thrived - winning two Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay before signing with the Sens.

Check out these two goals. On the first he makes a great read to block the Kucherov shot and gets rewarded with the goal in transition. On the second he strips Stamkos of the puck and flies down the ice for the breakaway goal.

He was trusted to be put on the ice against Tampa's top line and scored two goals of his own starting from great defensive plays.

If you are a top player in youth hockey, at some point you will not be a top player on your team through your hockey journey. It's just a reality. You will be asked to play different roles as you play at higher levels.

And if you only have offensive skills and awareness, if you don't have a "B" game, or if you don't care about the defensive side of the puck...your journey will be pretty short.

Learn and buy into playing both sides of the puck. Care about playing defensively. There are only so many spots every level you go up for Top 6 forwards or Top 2 defensemen.

The more versatile your game, I guarantee the more opportunity you will have to play high level hockey.

Mathieu Joseph is a great example, but there are so many more players in the league having great careers by buying into playing a different role than they were used to at lower levels.

So the next time your coach demands detail into your game...just know that it's helping you to become a better, more versatile player. And better, more versatile players get more opportunity to play higher level hockey.
