I decided to checkout a local Minor Hockey game last night . But I went with a blank rink on a sheet of paper and a pen , so I could track turnovers . It was a Atom AAA game. Both teams had fairly even talent , but one team clearly had better "vision " than the other. They protected the puck and skated and made plays with their heads up all the time. The other team skated looking at the puck , never made use of the supporting players and most of their shots came from the outside. (poor vision")
I have attached a PDF of the turnovers from the team that lost . I think all coaches would be surprised at the number of turnovers your team makes if you were to track a game or two.

After looking at this PDF , what changes would or how would you address this issue ?

Dean, Look at the number of turnovers in the "Sh** zone ( as you would call it) 5-7 ft at each blueline.
All goals were scored from turnovers with in 5-10 sec. approx. Failing to get the puck deep , attacking the blueline with very little speed , passing at the blueline. Or feet not moving , weak passes , or reacting as the play is happening , NOT reading the play.

Any thoughts ?
