Breakfast Club with Kirk

I haven’t done that many hockey stops in the past 3 months during league play than we did today at BC. I’m exhausted. Wow, during league play the goal is to keep your momentum going, the only time you stop is when you run into the bench to rest. Just another dimension of the game, you’ll definitely get the jump on guys during directional changes when you can pop from a stop to powering into stride. You’ll be a stride or two ahead of your opponents for sure. It’s all about edge work isn’t it, mostly getting command of the outside edges.

The drills today focused us on one outside edge at a time so we can focus getting on that darn edge and work it. Lyle keep pushing us on this stuff, I saw many teammates gasping for a little air after some of those drills. Another good part of the day was working a 2-on-1 and positioning for a quality shot on goal. Key word position. I have a tendency to go straight line to the goal which makes it easy for a defender to cover me. Joe was working on different scenarios to open the play up and have better chances for a quality shot. OK Laura what up, a big no show, did you get the word on a hard workout? See ya folks next week, Kirk out.
