Tom MolloyWe have done two practices based on the decision making stats I gathered and need good habits like protecting the puck, looking around before we get the puck, close support, taking three hard strides to open ice either straight or with escape moves, protecting the puck on the boards with the body, getting the puck off the boards to the big ice. etc. I will paste last nights practice and attach the last two.
