Advantages of Getting Off The Wall on Entries

Cail MacLean, Assistant Coach of the Calgary Flames discusses the advantages of getting off the wall when entering the zone after he explained the Turn & Burn drill.

He notes that Getting Off The Wall and taking an angle to achieve the middle of the ice gives you multiple advantages:

• You can give yourself more time as it is harder for defenseman to keep a proper gap.
• Your offensive teammates will have more time to join you on the rush.
• It allows you to have more options to pass the puck to one of your teammates who are going to the outside.
