Whether a player is working off the boards, out of the corner, or off the rush, maintaining strong possession requires a combination of edge-work, puck skills and hockey IQ. This offensive-skills program equips players with the tools to maintain puck possession through a progressive curriculum that has been developed by Luke Kasteel and Jon Woodyard. Coaches value players who are highly skilled in the areas of deception, puck control, puck protection, edge-work and agility. These are the skills that allow players to be elusive and stable, enabling them to generate more time and space and ultimately create more offensive opportunities.
