Instructions
- 1Set your stance low and square with the blade cupped slightly forward.
- 2Watch the linesman's hand rather than the puck to time the drop.
- 3Clamp the blade over the puck the instant it releases, pinning it to the ice.
- 4Rotate the wrists to pull the puck back to your intended target spot.
What to focus on
Timing the clamp to the linesman's hand, not the puck's movement.
Common mistake
Watching the puck and reacting late, getting beaten to the drop.
