DON’T KILL YOURSELF WITH LONG SHIFTS, ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE GAME.  TIRED PLAYERS MAKE MISTAKES AND ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURY. 

HEAD MUST BE ON A SWIVEL.  YOU MUST KNOW WHERE PLAYERS ARE OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVLY. 

COMMUNICATE:  TALK TO YOUR GOALTENDER, YOUR PARTNER AND YOUR FORWARDS. 

MOVE THE PUCK HARD AND QUICK TO THE OPEN MAN. JOIN THE RUSH, DO NOT LEAD IT. 

GET YOUR SHOTS ON NET.  THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE HARD, TRY TO SHOOT AWAY FROM SHOT BLOCKERS 

MAKE SURE THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE DEFENSMAN CLOSE TO YOUR NET 

DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE TO THE CREASE IN THE DEFENSIVE ZONE.  PLAY THE POST WITH YOUR STICK ON THE RINK.
