College and AAA forwards working on playing with the puck away from their bodies, controlling it while shifting weight rather than keeping the hands in tight. The stickhandling is deliberately stripped out so the focus is weight transfer.

Coaching points

  • Hands out away from the body
  • Shift weight, do not stickhandle
  • Keep control through the transfer
