The young guys have some great talents that many of them learned in practice. Zibanejad from the Senators shows his hand eye co-ordination as he drives the net and bunts a goal in.
A. Drive the Net- watch as Neil enters the zone with the puck, Zibanejad drives wide and gets a step on Schenn, This allows him to be first to the rebound.
B. Stick Ready- His stick is ready to react to the rebound. With the puck being in the air he uses a small motion with his hands to make contact with the puck. This is not a big swing trying to hit the puck hard, he knows he is close to the net and just needs to get it back to the net. The small motion makes it easier to hit the puck.
C. Skill- This is a skill that guys practice much of the time just fooling around after practice. Being able to keep the puck on your stick and just keep it from hitting the ground or ice is a great skill to try. You can use a tennis ball or golf ball before a game to get your hands warmed up. This skill is something that can be practiced and helps in many areas of your game including; deflections, rebounds, knocking pucks out of air on saucer passes etc...
