Love this insight from Turk, great reminder that shooting isn’t just about power, it’s about control, balance, and preparation. The foundation makes all the difference.

Faceoff success is critical as it determines immediate puck possession, the first battle of every shift and is especially impactful on the power play, where early control often leads to scoring chances within the first 30 seconds. Utilizing a sweeper at the top of the circles creates balanced support, improves anticipation for the H-position player, and reinforces the need for all players to execute in sync to maximize faceoff effectiveness.

Leah Hextall’s message is a powerful reminder that hockey still has work to do when it comes to inclusion, and that real change starts with intentional opportunities for those who haven’t traditionally been given a seat at the table. As someone also connected to Brandon, I’m proud to support that same push locally by helping create more inclusive opportunities in our own hockey community.

On the latest Glass & Out podcast, John Becanic talks about "State Farm" which instantly brought me back to this clip from Troy Ward.

Playing fast isn’t just about skating speed, it’s about making quick decisions under pressure. The ability to win a puck on the wall and immediately attack the middle is where board battles turn into offence.

Great breakdown here. Being able to change your release depending on the time and space you have is a huge scoring skill. Most goals come from tight areas, so quick, deceptive releases are often more effective than trying to load up a perfect shot every time.
