β οΈReading Pressure & Escaping ππ¨
In hockey, reacting is not enough β you need to read the pressure before it arrives and plan your escape. ππ§
This drill trains players to:
π Scan before escape
β± Recognize where the pressure is coming from
π Use escape moves based on space and timing
Whether itβs a tight turn, cutback, or shoulder check into a mohawk, the key is collecting information early and staying deceptive. ππ
β
Always keep your head up
β
Angle your body to protect the puck
β
Make fast decisions under control
π The goal: Create time and space to make a clean exit or transition into offense.
Train with purpose. Make every rep count. πͺπ
