## Caption

Puck protection requires an athlete to often place the puck in a position far away from the body and in a direction opposite their movement. That is an incredibly difficult thing to do when an opponent is trying as hard as they can to stop you! Every youth hockey coach should incorporate puck protection into most practice plans. Shooting for the average player is a relative rarity. Stickhandling for very long isn't often a great idea for the overwhelming majority of players and situations. But maintaining possession of the puck? That happens all the time.
