@Bdockjohn251@spittinchiclets many times. and yes i know it causes what generally looks like a dramatic reaction cause it doesnt take much for it to hurt especially when not expecting. there is another angle of the embellishment/high stick that does a better job of showing how embarrassing that was.

@HockeyThinkTank unfortunately, what i see commonly is coaches/parents constantly screaming to never put it in the middle in the d zone and wonder why they are constantly getting hemmed in their zone shoving it up the strong side wall into 8 bodies.
COACHES: This play here by Josh Morrissey is what we should be seeing in youth hockey. Morrissey is a Canadian Olympian and one of the best defensemen in the league, and to watch his confidence on this play (and how it relates to coaching in youth hockey) is a really cool thing to see.
Here are a couple things I see:
-Great habits as the supporting defenseman on the retrieval. Shoulder check (it's important not just for the player going to get the puck but the players supporting it too!) And great close support with heavy pressure on his D partner.
-An attempt to make a play in the middle on the breakout. So many teams will try and come down the walls defensively on the forecheck, it's a great thing to work on with your players. Especially in youth hockey, let your players make this play!!
-Try, fail. He turns it over. But he works his butt off to get it back. That's what development needs to look like at the youth levels!!
-Learn from it, still make the play. Once he gets it back, he doesn't just shove it back up the boards. He shows poise and still makes a great play through the middle and gets rewarded with the assist.
This play sums up great youth hockey coaching. Teaching good habits. Allowing players to make plays. Trying, failing, learning. A great microcosm of the way we should be coaching our kids today.
The power of cutting into interior space & passing into it — and the effect on DZ coverage
• D recovers the puck with F3 filling space above, gets eyes to the inside immediately
• Support forward cuts through coverage into interior space and receives pass
• BUF collapses on the puck carrier, creating space for F3 to jump into on the next touch
• Coverage collapses yet again: four BUF defenders drawn to the threat → MIN creates a 2v1 at the net
@BizNasty2point0 these people act like just because hes a top prospect he should auto be getting 20 min a night. ice time is earned not through your draft position but by on ice performance especially on an nhl team competing for a playoff spot.
