🏒 A great game for getting defensemen comfortable activating into the offense.

This 4 v 3 transition game forces the D to get involved, find good offensive lanes, and become a dangerous second wave.

A simple, competitive way to work on D activation, transition and creating offense with numbers.

Run at Buffalo Sabres Development Camp. Huge thanks to the Sabres for opening their camp to the public and giving players and coaches the opportunity to learn from it. 👏

🏒 What does it take to be a great leader on the ice?

According to Hayley Scamurra, it starts with understanding what makes each of your teammates tick.

The best leaders don't treat everyone the same—they learn what each player needs and adapt their approach to help the team succeed.
