If you want to score more goals (or any goals) as a team or a player, the most important area of the ice on which you should focus isn't the highway between the dots in the offensive zone. It isn't the crease in front of the goalie or even the offensive blue line. 

It's 200 feet away from the opponent's net. If you're a defenceman and you want more points then puck retrievals in the D-zone should be your number one focus. And as you've been told several times, points aen't evertything, and even though you roll your eyes when coaches tell you that, it's true. So focus on breakout habits and two things will happen: you'll end up with a couple more points eventually and scouts will notice how determiend you are to play a safe and responsible two way game in your end. Perfect, right?

One defenceman skill to watch in the clips: shoulder checks

Every single defenceman in these clips checks once, twice, and thrice to take a snapshot of what's going on behind them so they can move the puck.

Maybe you're a forward, specifically a centre. Whichever forward makes it back to the D-zone first needs to be that next connection with the D. It takes two people to make a good pass, and good passing is contagious. The D ight start the breakout, but if it breaks down on your stick then the attack will stall and everyone will suddenly be stuck in the D-zone. The coach will probably be perturbed as well, which is a word you just learned and want to avoid forever. 

One F1 (or centre) skill to watch in the clips: picking up passes

These are the best centres on earth, but if you want to be one of the best centres in your league then you'll pay attention to how they can pick up passes even if the puck is rolling or behind them or just a straight-up grenade.

How about the wingers? Often forgotten in the grand scheme of the breakout, but if it weren't for the wingers then the puck would never get out. The wingers have to make the next play to finish the breakout. A tape to tape pass would be great, but sometimes you'll have to resort to chipping the puck off the wall. But it's out, and the coach is happy and sudden;ly trusts you more, so you'll be back on the ice in no time. 

One winger skill to watch in the clips: making the next play

The play is never the same. There are cutbacks, chips, wingers taking it low and passing - this is where your skill needs to take over.
