Cassidy - Lines MJHL - 1/15/10

1:00 -  Think about the game one shift at a time.  Break it down that way, so you are the most mentally sharp.
1:40 - Good job locking up the breaks on hustle = Start hard, skate hard, stop hard = good.
3:30 -  This is a really good example of looking sharp while working the line.
7:00 -  I like kicking the puck up ice to myself, too -- When shagging a puck that has been iced, consider kicking the puck up to yourself for (3) Reasons: 1. the puck gets moving your direction, 2. you can pick it up on the "fly", and 3. your vision is up ice where it needs to be.



4:30 - Confidence in your lines partner helps both of you get the best sight line and judgment on a puck that has been iced.  Good example here.  It is so hard to see across the ice if a puck has been tipped or not, and helping your partner is the key on these situations.
6:00 - A good old fashioned fight.  Text book job by lines, too!




0:00 - Don't be hanging around at end zone face offs. Power out of there.  I understand that the reason we do that is because we have better awareness from a stationary position.  However, you need to train yourself to have good vision when on the move.
2:30 - Face off locations - this can really sell how sharp you are by getting the right locations.  This is an example where Kevin does a good job with this.  I talk about data and how knowing some data from a hockey game can help stress important points in a hockey game.
4:30 - POWER OUT OF THE ZONE - No standing and watching.
5:00 - What's more impressive? Cheating to get to a scrum or getting off a real quick start with power and explosiveness?
6:50 - An example where when you cover for a ref, you need to go.  No "tweaners".
