McDavid & Pastrnak Inside/Outside with Change of Pace

By: Ice Hockey Systems

These are two great clips for 1 v 1 rushes that utilize the inside to outside move with changing pace. We breakdown two goals from 2 of the best players in the world, one from Connor McDavid and another from David Pastrňák.

What to Watch

1. Change of Speed - changing your skating pace can lull the defenseman to sleep while they slow down to your speed.
2. Use Deception - as you slow down, use deception to make the defenseman bite and think you are going to the inside of the ice. You can use a single shift deke, or body language such as your eyes, head, shoulders, etc. to make them think you are going to the inside of the ice.
3. Accelerate To The Outside - once the defenseman slows down and bites to the inside, that is when you turn on the gas and explode to the outside!
