In Game Example - Stride Formation, Head Up with Timing

After gaining control of the puck, whether off a pass, retrieving it or skating with it, it’s essential to get you head and eyes up right away. This will help you to recognize your options. In this case, it’s timing on when to release the shot. Kessel sees the moving screen, a slight pause, recognizes a target, results in a short side goal! If this shot doesn’t go in… the potential for a healthy rebound is high.
