Work on Pucks that are not Perfect

Plays around the net are tough and players need to be able to control pucks that are not perfect.  Pucks get deflected off pads, sticks, and bodies and when players can stay focused and control pucks, they increase their chances to score.  Using their feet to control pucks when their stick is not available is a great skill to work on with players around the net.  This will allow them to keep possession and work to get their stick to the puck to finish the play off. 

Add this skill to your next practice!
