Instructions

  1. 1Set up in a legal faceoff stance with the stick angled correctly to the ball.
  2. 2React to the whistle by clamping the head down flat onto the ball quickly.
  3. 3Rake the ball back or to the side immediately, not straight up.
  4. 4Reset to stance between every rep.

What to focus on

Clamping flat and low so the ball doesn't squirt free.

Common mistake

Clamping at an angle that lets the ball roll out from under the head.
