Game Awareness

• Scanning: Head Trajectory, perioral vision, shoulder to check for space and opponents before receiving the puck and when carrying the puck. Spatial Awareness

• Anticipation: Recognizing where the play is going before it happens.

• Decision-Making: What play am I executing? Shoot, pass, or hold the puck.

 Decision Making Process 

1.    Perception: See/feel pressure, teammates, open ice.

2.    Evaluation: Weigh options in a split second (pass, chip, carry, eat puck, regroup)

3.    Execution: Apply the skill to complete chosen play

Overall Goal Is to make plays when called upon. Risk/reward management of the play choice and adaptability when the first choice is not present.
