I’ve been asked a lot over the years what I look for in a player during evaluations. After watching my son during various AA & AAA Ice try-outs, I’ve been thinking more about this topic and wanted to share a bit of what I look for and some ot…
Staying square to the shooter when blocking a shot will prevent injury. This comes from “50 Hockey Tips: featuring Brian Engblom” due out later this month on HockeyPlayer.com. It is a new version of the old 101 Hockey Tips that has been re-cut to follow rules added to hockey since USA Hockey added more in 2005.
This is another nice warm-up drill that incorporates multiple elements of play, including backward skating, pivots, passing, and shooting. Simple, but effective!!
Enjoy!

Cliff Ronning will likely have an impact in the NHL again this season, although the 45-year-old Burnaby resident, who helped lead the Canucks all the way the Stanley Cup finals back in 1994, won’t be lacing up his skates again to do it.
Instead, expect to see customized hockey sticks made at his new local business, Base Hockey Labs, to be appearing in the hands of more and more of today’s pros.
Ronning has teamed up with former Easton and Warrior executive Holmes Ghassemi and Innovative Hockey’s Ron Kunisaki to launch a state-of-the-art graphite and kevlar composite hockey stick design and manufacturing firm in Burnaby’s Lake City Business Centre that’s been open since early September.
Players such as Mike Green and Paul Gaustad are among those already using Base sticks (albeit with the logos covered up) but Ronning says the idea is much more about targeting average players who are serious about stepping up their game.
“We’ve got guys in the NHL already using it with black sticks, but we’re really focusing on the public, getting a good product in their hands for great value,” said Ronning. “Our model is to treat everybody like a pro and the response so far has been fabulous.”
While golfers routinely spend big bucks to find just the right set of clubs, many hockey players often get by with what’s on sale at Canadian Tire or simply what feels adequate. Ronning wants to change this.

With the release of the EQ50, Easton takes the E16 to the next level.
Easton’s SE16 stick offered the player one of the softest touches in the game with its Focus Weight Technology™. A process that places weight in key areas in the blade and the shaft to improve the balance and feel. Easton has built on this technology in the EQ50 stick.
The EQ50 will feature a fine-tuned, exposed weight system in the heel of the blade. Redistributing the weight in the blade to the heel dampens the blade in the key impact section, allowing the player to cradle passes easier improving puck control.
To offset this redistributed weight in the blade, Easton precisely adds weight to the end of the shaft. Weight at the end of the shaft counter balances the blade for optimal swing weight. This Focus Weight Technology™ delivers a truly balanced feeling stick with enhanced puck control.
The Easton EQ50 stick allows the player to customize the balance of the stick, by adding/subtracting removable weights in the end plug. By adding/subtracting one or more of the 5g metal discs the player can fine-tune the balance of the stick to meet their preference. As a guide Easton provides a chart on the stick to calculate the recommend number of disc based on the length of the stick.
The Easton EQ50 hockey stick is available at IceWarehouse.com
