@atomichockeyhq: 🏒 Don't Just Go Around the Defender—Attack Them One of the biggest mistakes players make with training aids is treating them like cones. In a game, defenders react to your body, your hands, and the puck. If you simply skate around them, you're training a habit that won't create separation. Attack the Slip Stick with purpose. Skate directly at it, force the "defender" to commit, then snap the puck through the opening with quick hands while your feet continue driving forward. That's how you create space instead of giving it away. Every rep should have intention. Train the move, not just the pattern. ✅ Skate at the defender with confidence ✅ Keep your hands soft and the puck under control ✅ Snap the puck through the lane with purpose ✅ Explode past the defender and accelerate away Excellent instruction from Coach Ryan Carignan, demonstrating how purposeful reps create game-ready habits.
