Video Description

In this video you'll find a couple of quick tips to help players become better at puck control.

By keeping the puck in a strong position, it makes you a much bigger threat to the defensive players as it really opens up the amount of options available to you. Having the puck in a strong position, and not over-handling it gives the chance for split second decisions and reactions based on the actions of the defenders. It allows you to quickly pass, dump or chip a puck, or shoot, whatever the situation calls for without having to adjust the position of the puck to your body first.

By using these tips, you're going to become a stronger offensive threat and create a lot more opportunities in a game.
