Dave M,

While in Moose Jaw and Tri-Cities (WHL), we had a warmup passing sequence that we called "D Escape". If the D didn't show me their sticks flat on the ice, they received the pass wherever their stick was… in the air. Of course, because 'they' had screwed up the drill by not presenting their stick flat on the ice, the team had to skate… They got the message ASAP.

Just did a similar demo with Grade 8's last week. The teacher had his stick at waist level and asked me to pass him the puck. I understood what he wanted me to do… so I rifled it at his stick blade. Bang / crash off his stick and into the boards. The kids eyes opened wide…

The kids immediately got the message.
