Questions and Answers

1.

Where should you place the puck on the blade and why? Pick the best option below.
- A.
  
  Start at the heel of the blade. This will let you open the blade up to give it a great lift.
- B.

- C.

Correct Answer
D. Start at the heel of the blade. Rotate the puck through the whole blade to spin the puck so it will stay flat.

Explanation
Starting at the heel of the blade and rotating the puck through the whole blade helps to spin the puck, which in turn helps to keep it flat. This is important for making accurate saucer passes in hockey. By starting at the heel and rotating the puck, players can achieve better control and accuracy, allowing them to make successful passes.

Pick ALL the answers that help explain why it is important to keep your head up when you pass. Multiple, one or no answers below could be correct.
- A.
  
  Keeping my head up on the ice is the same as reading a question and the answers on a test in school. Without keeping my head up I really don't know what the question is or what my options are. Without keeping my head up I am basically just guessing my way through hockey.
- B.
  
  It is important to know if my teammates are great hockey players or bad hockey players so I know whether to pass or not.
- C.
  
  Keeping my head up when passing allows me to see what type of pass to use. For example, if there is a stick in the way of my teammate I want to pass it to, I can just sauce that puck over it.
- D.
  
  Keeping my head up is only important if there are opponents around me. If the passing lanes are open, it is better to look at the puck when I pass so I will know where it is on the blade to make sure I won't screw up.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Keeping my head up on the ice is the same as reading a question and the answers on a test in school. Without keeping my head up I really don't know what the question is or what my options are. Without keeping my head up I am basically just guessing my way through hockey.
C. Keeping my head up when passing allows me to see what type of pass to use. For example, if there is a stick in the way of my teammate I want to pass it to, I can just sauce that puck over it.

Explanation
Keeping your head up when passing in hockey is important because it allows you to assess the situation and make informed decisions. Just like reading a question and the answers on a test, keeping your head up helps you understand the game and your options. Without it, you would be guessing your way through hockey. Additionally, keeping your head up when passing enables you to see any obstacles, such as a stick in the way of your teammate, and adjust your pass accordingly. This helps you make accurate and effective passes, increasing the chances of success in the game.

When using a wall pass, it does not matter if I use the lower part or the upper part of the boards, it will always bounce back at the same angle.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
When using a wall pass, the angle at which the ball bounces back depends on the angle at which it hits the wall. If the ball hits the lower part of the boards, it will bounce back at a different angle compared to if it hits the upper part of the boards. Therefore, it is not true that the ball will always bounce back at the same angle regardless of whether the lower or upper part of the boards is used.

- A.

There is very little versatility to the saucer pass. Just learning one of them is enough to be an awesome passer and it is up to my coach to show me how to do it or it is his/her fault why I can't get more assists?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Becoming a great passer is up to you to work on at home and in practice. Coaches can fine-tune your execution but your imagination and repetition will make you a great passer. You can do saucer passes in any drill pretty much. The only one holding you back is yourself for not trying and using your imagination in drills.

Which of the options below is NOT a good way to execute a one-touch pass? Pick the one choice that is incorrect.
- A.
  
  Start off by facing your teammate with the puck and then rotate your pass execution towards your target.
- B.
  
  Start off by facing your pass target to make sure your pass will go in the right direction.
- C.
  
  Cradle the puck by moving both hands forward through the execution.
- D.
  
  Do not keep your upper (dominant) hand close to your body, move it forward to cradle the puck.
Correct Answer
B. Start off by facing your pass target to make sure your pass will go in the right direction.

Explanation
Facing your target will give the passer you are about to receive the puck from a very small area to hit when delivering the first pass to you. Instead, open up to the current puck carrier about to pass to you and rotate your body through the execution towards your target. Make sure to lean into the execution and cradle the puck by moving both hands forward through the execution.
