Coaching Points (for players with the puck):

1. Under handle the puck: push puck in front of you so you can explode up the ice and maximize the length of your skating stride to get going as fast as possible.
2. Keep head up: be aware of the defenders in front of you, and look to find teammates streaking.
3. Pass the puck: the puck can move up the ice quicker than someone skating. 

Coaching points (for offensive players without the puck):

1. Playing fast is a mentality: know that when the puck transitions to offense, you are ready to explode up the ice.
2. Sprint to an open lane: do not crowd the puck carrier, find an open lane going north and make yourself available.
3. Keep stick on the ice: keep your stick on the ice so your teammate knows where they can pass to.

Defensive coaching points:

1. Defenders: Match speed & use proper gaps. Do your best to match the speed of the forwards. If you go faster then them, you will give them a larger gap and more space to make a play, if you go to slow, they can blow right by you.
2. Backcheckers: keep stick on the ice to block passing lanes & angle players to the outside of the ice.
