Pat “Big Rig” Maroon is a beloved player Reflecting on his career: - Being a good teammate is the most important thing - Even in the lows, be the positive person - Be there for your teammates - Make the new players feel comfortable - Off ice care translates to on ice performance

Your life after hockey will be longer than your life in hockey… so you have to be all in. Motivation stops at 6am and will make up 1% of your success. Discipline and the ability to get better is what actually makes the difference.

Daily Detail - Middle Entry Middle entries are so important as they squeeze the defense in and open outside space. Middle entry, kick wide, find late player. Bonus… entry player finishes he route to the net and stops to drive back the D and open space higher in the zone.

Daily Detail - Attack 4 & Ready Change With backchecking a focal coaching point, it’s important to get numbers up ice when attacking on the rush. We see Chicago attacking with 4 while the goal scorer comes onto the ice ready. No fumbling of his stick, and a few hard strides.

If your players understand this, you’re in business. Or as my friends in the south say, “now we’re cooking with peanut oil”

Daily Detail - Bank Pass Behind Malkin working the angles to pass behind Brazeau rather than in front. Looks easy here, but try this yourself! The D that stepped can’t get to the puck and is completely back footed. Bonus… Brazeau drags his leg to ensure he is onside.
