If you watch defensemen at the highest levels you can see they are great at finding shooting lanes on net. They are able to do this by getting their eyes up and recognizing the open options. Also they do a great job getting to the middle of the ice to be able to see more of the net as well as spread the defending team apart to create gaps in their coverage. In this video we are breaking down the main components of receiving the puck, getting our eyes up, walking the puck to the middle, and getting a shot on net. We hope you enjoy!

After coming back from a knee injury, a drills like these have helped me regain confidence in my knee and help me progress in my jr career.
Knee injuries aren't easy to recover from. Great job sticking to the recovery plan and getting back out there!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
great video! do you have a tip/video on what to do at the blueline when the forechecker/defender is agressive?
Not yet, but will have to make a tech tip next season for this!
Excellent video. Seems like most videos on KZhead reflect on the offensive game or the position of forwards or even skating, passing, shooting, etc. But most don't reflect on positioning either in the O or D zone or things like gap control. Offensive hockey is great to see...who doesn't love a between the legs goal or a Michigan, but as the saying goes - Defense wins championships. When you look at players like Cale Makar, Roman Josi, or even younger guys like Moritz Seider, puck possession by defensemen in each part of the ice (D zone, Neutral zone between blue lines, O zone) is key to general puck possession as well as both preventing goals and creating scoring chances. This video is extremely helpful for one just starting his hockey journey as it helps me understand why these players perform the way they do in certain situations.
