"PASS TO CREATE "

Rather than panic... PASS
players must be trained to think about skating and stickhandling into open space first, then make a pass to create opportunity instead of passing off due to pressure. Encourage the understanding of Space & Time with players continually. Teach players to test their skills deep in the offensive zone-where a turnover would require the opposition to beat some of your team mates -as well to break the puck out. In practice, keep it simple and do not develop a fancy game.

"Shots On Goal ..."  ...Are Key.
When you work the puck into the offensive zone, have the mind set to set up a solid shot on goal. That is the ultimate goal with any offensive play. Several goals are scored in a game when defenders aren't expecting a shot. A shot on goal is never a bad play! In practice, use your defense as a screen and shoot the puck more. You will be surprised at the results. Also, if you angle the play away from the middle, you will find space. With space, you earn extra time to make decisions for the setup to shoot the puck or pass to setup a teammate's shot on goal.
