tbl-Injury News Could Provide Opportunities For Young Players

Raw Charge
Facts

Summary

With the prospect showcase firmly in the rearview mirror it is time for the real fun to begin – training camp. The 2026-27 season is right around the corner and the Tampa Bay Lightning are ready to get back on the ice. Well, most of them are. At the pre-camp conference, general manager Julien BriseBois addressed the media and updated them in regards to a couple of injuries. Injury updates from #GoBolts GM Julien BriseBois: Forward Yanni Gourde had offseason hip surgery and will be out until December. Dominic James broke his hand training and will be out to start the first few weeks of the season. [image or embed] — Benjamin Pierce ( @boltsben.bsky.social ) September 16, 2026 at 5:17 PM That is quite the blow for the Lightning’s depth down the middle of the ice. Yanni Gourde appeared in all 82 games last season, averaged 16:22 of ice time while posting 9 goals and 19 assists, and posted positive possession numbers in scoring chances, expected goals against, and shot attempts. He was also one of the Lightning’s top penalty killers, averaging 2:02 of ice time per game. Only Anthony Cirelli and Brandon Hagel had more short-handed ice time among forwards last season. The offense was down a little for him, but he remained one of the toughest forwards to play against and was the pivot for Coach Jon Cooper’s shut-down line that also featured Pontus Holmberg and Zemgus Girgensons. Their strong play allowed Coach Cooper to deploy rookie Dominic James in favorable situations, and the free agent signee responded with a surprisingly strong season. The 23-year-old put up 15 points (7 goals, 8 assists) in 43 games in his debut season. A late-season injury limited him at the end, but he returned for the playoffs and was one of the Lightning’s most dynamic players over the second-half of their series against Montreal. James added an element of speed to a squad of forwards that needed it, and his ability to get the puck into the zone helped produce some offense for lines that didn’t feature Nikita Kucherov. Shades of last season and their 341 games lost to injury are flooding back already. Without a puck being dropped in serious competition it appears it will be another season where the depth is tested. However, as grandparents and teachers have told us for generations, whenever one door closes, another one opens. While it is unfortunate that Gourde and James will be off of the ice for the near future, it does open up a couple of spots on a roster that had most positions inked in already. Training camp just became very interesting for a handful of players. Fans who have been clamoring for Sam O’Reilly to make the team might have their wish fulfilled. While it didn’t make sense for the Lighting to keep him on a roster when he might only be getting 8-10 minutes as a fourth-line forward, the chance to play around 15 minutes a night as the third-line pivotman might be a little more enticing. When he is ready for the NHL, and who knows, that could be in two weeks, O’Reilly is set to be a middle-six center who can kick in some offense while playing top-shelf defense and killing penalties. In other words, the exact same role that Yanni Gourde has occupied for the Lightning during both of his tenures in Tampa. That being said, the coaching staff isn’t going to hand the spot to the rookie without him earning it. He will need to beat out some other players in order to take a rookie lap on October 1 in New York. Could this be the break that propels Conor Geekie into a full-time NHL role? After a rocky start the last couple of seasons, the top prospect has excelled at the AHL level over the last two years. Given an opportunity to play regular minutes with the Lightning can he elevate his play to the point where the brass can’t send him back down? Dylan Duke is another name that could be in the mix for a spot either on the third or fourth line. It’s a big season for him. Like Geekie, Duke has shown that he can excel at the AHL level, but needs a shot at convincing the organization that he can fill the role with the Lightning. Being a little older than O’Reilly and Geekie, he’s at a stage in his career where the Bolts might be a little more comfortable having him play fewer minutes in the NHL as a fourth-line center than getting reps in Syracuse. That could work to his advantage in making the roster. The injuries also give a reason to the Kole Lind PTO that was announced last week. While the 27-year-old isn’t a center, he could still fill a role in the bottom-six if Zemgus Girgensons or Pontus Holmberg slide over to take up a spot in the face-off dot. Lind might not have a ton of NHL experience (31 games) it’s still more than Duke or O’Reilly bring to the table. With Gourde being out long-term, there might be a bigger opening for Benjamin Rautiainen to make the opening night roster as well. Prior to the injury announcement his one real shot at making the team was to claim the open forward spot on the second line with Cirelli and Hagel. Now there could be a little wiggle room on the third line for the 21-year-old. Again, with Holmberg sliding back to the middle of the ice, Rautiainen could get a chance to earn some decent minutes as a two-way forward. It’s unfortunate that the Lightning aren’t starting the season off at 100%, but it isn’t completely unfamiliar territory. Over the past few seasons they’ve gotten under way without the likes of Anthony Cirelli and Nick Paul and have managed to overcome their absences. It’s another case of needing someone to step up and fill in the gap. With a shortened training camp and just four preseason games to figure it out, the next couple of weeks will be nothing if not entertaining.

tbl-Lightning Morning News: We’re Almost There

Raw Charge
Facts

Summary

The Tampa Bay Lightning played two games the last two days! It was only a prospect tournament but we’re only a few days away from the first preseason game on Sunday. The regular season starts in two weeks in New York City! The Lightning were participating in the 2026 Prospect Showcase hosted by the Carolina Hurricanes this week. The Lightning lost on Monday to Nashville but didn’t go down without a fight. They won yesterday afternoon against Carolina, which always feels good. Check out 3 Takeaways here. [ NHL ] Ethan Czata (56th pick) and Grant Spada (212th pick) were both drafted by the Lightning in 2025. A trade in the OHL in June has them playing together with the Guelph Storm. Guelph is hosting the Memorial Cup this season and it’s safe to say they’re both thrilled. [ NHL ] I meant to include this on Monday but I’m ashamed to say I forgot to mention some of the biggest news of the offseason. ThunderBug was named 2026 Mascot of the Year by the NHL! Congratulations to everyone’s favorite Bug! [ WFLA ] Lots of news in the NHL yesterday: Blackhawks Announce 21 year old Connor Bedard as 37th Captain in Franchise History [ NHL ] Detroit Red Wings are still searching for a new General Manager and named Shawn Horcoff as Interim GM. [ Yahoo ] Lots of teams were racing against the clock of the expiring CBA to sign their players to maximum 8 year extensions. Drake Batherson came away with the most money, signing an 8 year, $86 million contract with Ottawa. [ ESPN ] I don’t think Ryan Leonard was too upset to finish second in that competition, re-signing with the Capitals for 8 years and $84 million. [ Bleacher Report ] Montreal didn’t sign any 8 year deals, but did sign Alex Newhook to a four year, $22.2 million extension that begins in 2027 and also signed RFA Arber Xhekaj to a one year, $1.5 million contract. [ TSN ] Coaches are getting new contracts, too. The Wild extended coach John Hynes to a multi-year extension. [ ESPN ] Check back in later as we finally crack the the top five Under 25 for the Tampa Bay Lightning!

Summary

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.

3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.

Apply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.

This system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.

Whether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

Our Kids Play Hockey: Our Girls Play Hockey: A Year In The Life Of Olympic Gold Medalist And Walter Cup Champion Hayley Scamurra

Facts

Summary

What started as a simple Day in the Life became a front-row seat to hockey history.At the beginning of the season, Hayley Scamurra was facing uncertainty. She was balancing Team USA evaluation camps with a new chapter for the Montreal Victoire, competing for an Olympic roster spot while navigating the demands of a full professional season.By the end of it, she had accomplished something no woman had ever done before: win an Olympic gold medal and the PWHL Walter Cup in the same year.In this special edition of Our Kids Play Hockey, we look back at Hayleys unforgettable 202526 seasonfrom Olympic camps and the nerve-wracking wait for the Team USA call, to winning gold, returning immediately to the PWHL playoff race, surviving an incredible postseason, lifting the Walter Cup with Montreal, and celebrating in front of a sea of fans in the streets of the city. Inside this episode: How Hayley approached Olympic tryouts by focusing on her role instead of comparing herself to other elite players The emotional phone call confirming she had made her second U.S. Olympic team What finally winning Olympic gold meant after a lifetime dedicated to hockey Why visualization, confidence, and staying present became such important parts of her season The whirlwind transition from Olympic champion back to professional hockeywith almost no time to recover What it was like going from the rink to The Kelly Clarkson Show and meeting Pink How Montreal surged after the Olympic break and finished first in the PWHL standings The dramatic road through the PWHL playoffs, including an unforgettable Walter Cup Final Why Hayleys value went far beyond goals and pointsand how embracing her role helped unlock one of the best seasons of her career The Montreal championship parade that showed just how far professional womens hockey has comeFor young players and hockey parents, Hayleys story carries an important lesson: success doesnt always come from trying to be everything. Sometimes it comes from understanding exactly what you bring to a team, embracing that role, and doing it exceptionally well.And perhaps the biggest takeaway is bigger than one player, one medal, or one championship.The history being made by players like Hayley today becomes the possibility young hockey players will expect tomorrow.Congratulations to our own Hayley ScamurraOlympic gold medalist, Walter Cup champion, and the first woman to accomplish both in the same year.

tbl-2026 Tampa Bay Lightning Top 20 Under 25: #6 Dylan Duke

Raw Charge
Facts

Summary

The Duke had a sensational season for Syracuse last year, can he turn that into a permanent spot in the NHL this season? Name Dylan Duke Position Forward Age (as of October 1, 2026) 23 Height/Weight 5’10”, 176 lbs. Expected 2026-27 Team Syracuse Crunch Draft – Year, Round 2021, 4th (126) Previous Rankings 2021 (23), 2022 (14), 2023 (7), 2024 (7), 2025 (6) JustinG. Ranking 6 Final Rank 6 Stats: Our Thoughts: Is there much more we can say about Dylan Duke that we haven’t in the previous five write-ups? Probably not, but we’ll try. In short, Dylan Duke is probably the drafted prospect that is closest to making the Lightning roster as a full-time player. His previous two seasons show that his style of play can be effective in professional hockey, so now the next test will be at the NHL level. In his first two full seasons with Syracuse, Duke put up 99 points in 134 games. Not bad production for the University of Michigan product. How he does it isn’t fancy. Duke bowls his way to the front of the net and makes life uncomfortable for opposing goaltenders. Despite not clearing six-feet, Duke can clear out the space he needs in order to generate deflections and rebounds. His style of play makes him especially effective on the power play, where he led the the AHL with 18 goals last season. Like his generation of Lightning prospects, Duke is an okay but not spectacular skater, something that could be a hindrance as he tries to move forward. Can he continue to be effective on the forecheck if he’s a couple of strides behind the defenders? The only way he can find that out will be by earning a spot on the Lightning roster at some point in the near future. Duke should have a legitimate shot at a bottom-six role with the Lightning. Yes, there are some veterans and new signings in front of him, but the Bolts aren’t adverse to changing the roster should a player force them to with their play. One thing that he has going for him is that he doesn’t have to put points on the board to be effective. Even in games where he isn’t at his best, his high-motor style of play makes him tough to play against. Duke is always going to be in the mix a long the boards or chasing after a puck-carrier to make their life difficult. Should he not make the Lightning’s roster he will head back to Syracuse to play 20 minutes a night on one of the top lines while taking up a spot in front of the net on the top power play unit. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him wearing a letter for the Crunch, either. The 23-year-old from Ohio is entering the final year of his entry-level contract and is still waivers exempt, which might hurt his chances early in the season, but should keep him at the top of the call-up list once the games get going. In order to earn that recall he’s going to have to continue to producing at the level he has over the last two seasons. Duke’s spot at sixth on this list is a sign of how the Lightning are slowly rebuilding their farm system. Had it not been for some of their non-draft acquisitions like Dominic James, Conor Geekie, and Sam O’Reilly, it’s likely that Duke would be a top-five, if not top-three pick in the countdown. Of the Lightning prospects that did make the top ten, he likely has the narrowest gap between his ceiling and floor. Part of that is due to his somewhat elevated age and matriculation through college hockey before joining the Crunch. While he likely isn’t going to be a 30-goal scorer at the NHL level, there is an excellent chance that he could follow a career similar to Yanni Gourde. Twenty goals isn’t out of reach, but teams will get real value out of his tenacious play and strong defensive game. That type of skillset tends to lead to decent NHL careers even if he might bounce around to a few organizations. Your Thoughts: Dylan Duke’s highest ranking was third. His biggest percentage (23.3%) had him in the fifth spot, but there were enough votes below that to bring him down a notch. “Starting to lose faith in some of the older prospects. (Duke!)” “Duke has a great net front presence and has high motor. If given a shot in the bottom six for the Lightning I think he could be effective.” “O’ Reilly, James, Geekie, and Duke come to mind when I think about that prototypical Lightning player. They’re more than just goals and points.” Highlight Videos: Dylan Duke reporting for duty 🫡 pic.twitter.com/3VCZffdcWn — Syracuse Crunch (@SyracuseCrunch) February 5, 2026 Duke established himself at the far post and made himself a literal target for the pass. Going knee-down on the ice is a choice for sure, but if he hadn’t made contact with his stick, there was a good chance the puck was bouncing off his body and possible into the net. Gabby picks the corner 🎯 pic.twitter.com/DDTCzdwZHQ — Syracuse Crunch (@SyracuseCrunch) April 26, 2026 Duke’s passing ability is one of the more underrated parts of his game. He has pretty good vision on the ice and can make the quick, accurate pass in the zone that teammates like for one-timers. Goal No. 30 for Mr. Dylan Duke pic.twitter.com/rxffNKXmIQ — Syracuse Crunch (@SyracuseCrunch) March 22, 2026 While he makes his living in the five feet in front of the crease, Duke can score from outside of the zone. His wrist shot plays at the NHL level. Dylan Duke on the power play. A tale as old as time. pic.twitter.com/VwVv3YR8E5 — Syracuse Crunch (@SyracuseCrunch) February 22, 2026 Classic Duke action here. He backed into the front of the net and established a spot while eating a shove from the goaltender. The screen he set up creates a rebound, and despite being surrounded by taller opponents he was the first to the puck and poked it home knowing he was going to take the hit.

Summary

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.

3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.

Apply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.

This system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.

Whether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

Bedard Made This His Signature Shot

Episode Description

Facts

Summary

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.

3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.

Apply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.

This system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.

Whether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

tbl-Lightning Morning News: Let There Be Hockey!

Raw Charge
Facts

Summary

The 2026-27 NHL season is on the cusp and with that we’re bringing back the daily links! The suits around the league are filing paperwork again and there’s actually some news in the NHL. Without further adieu, let’s catch up on some of the latest news and current events around the league. Lightning News: With the 2026 Prospect Showcase first day in the books, the 2026-27 season has officially begun. The Predators and Hurricanes met yesterday and the Lightning play this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET against the Predators. The game will be streamed on the Lightning app and their official NHL website . Here’s the Lightning roster and schedule. [ NHL.com ] Here’s some names to keep an eye out for on the Lightning. [ YardBarker ] What to expect for the tournament and more information about the Lightning prospects. [ Tampa Free Press ] The Lightning made a roster move a few days ago and brought in Kole Lind on a Professional Try Out Contract last week. The Lightning currently have 48/50 contracts signed according to PuckPedia as of this morning. [ Raw Charge ] It’s no secret that Nikita Kucherov is entering the last year of his contract with the Lightning. The two sides only have a few days left to sign an eight year contract with the new CBA beginning on September 16th restricting the max contract to seven years. This article breaks down some good and bad news for the Lightning. Hopefully something happens in the next few days and this is all water under the bridge soon. [ The Hockey News ] League News: While the rest of the sports world was distracted with the first NFL Sunday of the year, the Montreal Canadiens signed RFA Zach Bolduc to a four year, $16.8 million contract yesterday. [ NHL ] The Canadiens were busy the last few days. They also brought in Chris Krieder after he and the Anaheim Ducks mutually went their separate ways. There’s some previous bad blood between Krieder and Carey Price from back in 2014. [ Sportsnet ] With the beginning of the new NHL season, many players are entering the final years on their contracts and find themselves as this year’s trade bait. There’s a few big names asking to be traded (Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin), here’s a list of the biggest names who could be moved this season. [ Bleacher Report ]

tbl-Three Things To Watch For At The Lightning’s Prospect Showcase

Raw Charge
Facts

Summary

The 2026-27 Tampa Bay Lightning season unofficially gets underway this afternoon as a small group of their prospects take on the Nashville Predators young guns at 2:00 PM up in Raleigh, North Carolina. While it is little more than a glorified scrimmage game, for many of the players competing it will be their first taste of action in a NHL uniform. Not every player on the ice is going to have the same goal over the next two days. Prospects on the cusp of the NHL can start their campaigns for earning a spot on the opening night roster while the newest of draft picks can show off why the team selecting them. Meanwhile, those young players in-between can show how they’ve progressed since last year. What happens over the next two days (after they face Nashville today, the Baby Bolts will take on host-team Carolina on Tuesday) should be taken with a grain of salt. Just because someone has an outstanding showing over two games doesn’t mean they’re destined for a NHL call-up in the near future. They are competing against their peers, not against veteran NHL players. The competition should be good, but not necessarily elite. That being said, there are some things to look for as the showcase plays out over the next two days. A strong showing from the veteran showcase players A look at the roster shows a few players that have been through this a time or two. Dylan Duke, Ethan Gauthier, and Gabriel Szturc are three that come to mind. Having been through the motions a few times, it stands to reason that they should have a leg up on some of the other prospects competing this week. It’s also important for them to get off to a good start to impress the coaching staff as they try and make the case to crack the Lightning’s roster. There aren’t many spots available, but all three could, in theory, earn a spot on the fourth line. The three veteran Crunch players all play with defensive responsibility and can grind out minutes in the bottom-six while potentially putting some pucks in the net. Duke in particular should be pushing for a spot after a really strong season in the AHL last year that saw him finish third overall in goals scored with 32 while leading the league with 18 power play goals. He’s one of the older players on the roster, and should garner some top line minutes over the next couple of days. Another “veteran” to keep an eye on will be Sam O’Reilly. A wrist injury kept him out of the development camp, so this will be his first taste of competition since leading Kitchener to the Memorial Cup. As a dark horse to make the Lightning this season, a lot of attention will be focused his way. First Impressions From the 2026 Draft Class Five out of the six most recent draft picks are on the roster with only Morgan Anderberg missing out (his season with Vaxjo in the SHL is already underway). For the rest of the draft class, it will be their first chance to show the Lightning what they can do against NHL-level talent. Again, it’s not the elite of the league, but a good portion of the players participating will hear their names called in a NHL arena at some point in the near future. Coaches and fans will be able to see how Oleg Kulebiakin’s stick-handling skills work against better competition. They’ll also be able to see how Tomas Kralovic’s skating plays against faster forwards. Can Max Vilen and Cooper Soller make impressions that last in their first appearances as members of the organization? There are usually a few surprises along the way as players stand out among their peers. Aiden Foster had a strong training camp last year and helped his standing among prospect watchers. The same can be said for Grant Spada. Ethan Czata excited some fans last year as he was everything advertised as a second-round pick in 2025. It’s really unlikely that anything the players from this draft class do will keep them in training camp longer than the first cuts before being dispersed back to their junior clubs (or, in Kralovic’s case – Syracuse) but their play over the next two days will give the organization a general idea of what they need to work on over the next season. The goaltenders With only two games to play, the Lightning decided to bring just two netminders, both recent picks. Harrison Meneghin was selected in the seventh round of the 2024 draft while Stepan Shurygin was picked in the sixth round of 2026. Both players are coming off of seasons in which they want to improve. Meneghin signed his entry-level contract last season after a spectacular season with the Medicine Hat Tigers. It wasn’t the smoothest transition to professional hockey for him as he went 4-9-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .889 SV% in Orlando. He did get an appearance in Syracuse as well, making four saves in 13 minutes against Bellevue while allowing two goals. He did pick up an assist, though, making him the highest point-per-game goalie in the league. Chances are Meneghin will start the season with the Solar Bears as the Crunch stocked up on veteran netminders this summer, but he’ll want to get started on the right foot in training camp and show Joel Bouchard, who will be behind the bench, that he can move past the struggles and claim a role with Syracuse at some point in the near future. Shurygin is a bit farther away from that challenge. He played a lot of hockey last year (59 games) for a Saginaw Spirit team that struggled with coverage in front of him at times. He is a big goalie that is very athletic and his play in the showcase will give Frantz Jean and the goaltending staff some ideas of what they need to work with him on before he heads back to the OHL. It should be a fun two days of hockey that will lead right into training camp started. For the players participating, it’s a little taste of how things operate at the NHL level and will help show them what they need to do to take things to the next level. For the Lightning, it gives them a solid baseline of where their prospects are at, and what they need to work on over the next year. For the fans – it’s competitive hockey! Something Lightning fans haven’t seen for a few months. If you have the chance, and the boss isn’t looking, feel free to stream the games through the Lightning app.

Teaching Power Play Quarterback Skills Steve Spott

Episode Description

Facts

Summary

FULL VIDEO: https://hubs.la/Q04xm3F10

As a veteran Assistant Coach with the Boston Bruins, Steve Spott has been studying power plays for years to stay at the forefront of the latest tactics and strategies to help build an elite unit. The first position he discussed in his TCS Live talk was the quarterback. Modern power-play defencemen, he believes, need to be exceptional skaters. The drop pass has become such a staple of power-play entries that penalty kills are anticipating it. Once in the offensive zone, the quarterback needs to create deception and handle pressure. Spott believes some of that decision-making comes naturally.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.
