Reply To: Triple Threat Position

[Tom Molloy]

I am in a hotel room in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. We were going to stay in Glacier National Park but it was raining so bad that we drove all the way here and are staying an extra day.

I think that the hands crossed over on a tight turn was taught by almost everyone for about 20 years. I know I personally never held my stick like that but I taught it. I no longer teach to cross over but to lower the bottom hand while the top hand is near your back pocket. This way you are in a power position, i.e. the triple threat position to carry, pass or shoot.

Crossing the hands is great for going around pylons but not practical in game situations.
