High End Protect + Kinn Wins!



Protecting the Puck on Your Backhand

Protecting the puck on your backhand is an important skill because it will allow you to get off a clean shot.  If you are driving wide on your backhand side, you want to protect the puck so that the impending defenseman can't take it from you. Watch this week's High End Hockey video to see this in action!

What a Tangled Web...

We Weave (or hit)

The actual quote, from Sir Walter Scott, is "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."  Now let's hope that tangled weave is the back of the  net! Deceptive shooting involves protecting the puck, shooting around obstacles (like another player) and faking shots to fool the goalie.  Watch this week's High End Hockey video to see this in action.
 
 

Take a look at local Challenger, Itai, using a glove as the obstacle to pull the puck around before shooting. Great job, Itai (and little bro, Liam, picking up all the pucks he shot!)!!
