For anyone who stopped by here thinking that I’m going to be talking about one-touch passing… Naw, that’s a subject for another time. What I do want to share with you today are my feelings on the passes players often make to themselves. – Dennis Chighisola Okay, just supposing a player is going to push the puck through a defender’s skates, then go around that defender to retrieve the puck on the other side.

Still, as I’ll suggest in most such entries, various layouts should really be aimed at enhancing specific kinds of skills. Now, if you go back to my earliest Mighty Mite post (“Our First Mighty Mite Hockey Practice“), you should see that I used a straight row of obstacles as a very simple of way of showing my babies how…
