Parents, this is one of the key teaching points we've emphasized with the kids this season, so please let them have a look at this short video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u41enfM-DF8 Hockey Hall of Famer Scott Stevens is talking about how important 'stick on puck' is at the NHL level, but we think it's something that applies at every level. Cheers
