Curtis Brackenbury called to ask me if I had any video on face-off technique. I have made postings about how to practice face-offs but no video. So I went to google and searched. These are some of the best videos I could find on how to take a face-off and win it. In the average game there is at least one face-off a minute. It is the first loose puck situation and quick transition to offense or to defense is critical.
