Secret To Receiving Passes At Speed - Hidden Asymmetries In Hockey

Secret To Receiving Passes At Speed - Hidden Asymmetries In Hockey
The secret to receiving passes at speed isn't to improve your hands. It's to improve your footwork and patterning. You get way more OPTIONS when you take certain routes. And those routes are NOT higher risk. I call this a hidden asymmetry. You might start noticing this pattern everywhere.

Arcs are everywhere, that's why the ruts in the ice are always curves.

[@jameslambert5030]

100% correct, this is one of the "hidden" things that elite players (let's say like the top 0.01% of hockey players, NCAA D1/major junior and up) do better than the rest of the hockey world. Threat on the first touch, using a weight shift.

Is it any more complicated than - establish a lean in the direction that causes you to naturally cup the puck when receiving a pass?

[@Train2point0]

Ben Copeland simplicity is best. But there are a few more distinctions than that.

[@reubination]

This is a good analysis.

[@identityshifthockey]

Simple. Yet such an important little skill to add to your game.

When McDavid has speed why does he cut back and lose it by putting his skate up and getting less power off the next stride, and there is no defender to juke out?
