Happy birthday! Have a good day!

@GrantEverett

Thanks, Amelia!

@GrantEverett

Hey, here’s a video I took today. I was running some solo drills. Curious about your thoughts on my stick handling whenever you get a chance to look! No rush.

@AmeliaGreen

I’ll be back with some feedback.

@AmeliaGreen

Sorry it took me so long to answer. We have a new team governor, and there have been a lot of meetings over the past few days.

@GrantEverett

No worries!

@AmeliaGreen

I watched the video, and I have a few notes. You could create more space between your feet with soft drags. It’ll give you the opportunity to move the defense around you. When you bring the puck along your blade, it looks awkward. Focus more on rolling it off the heel. Like you’re cradling it, almost. And watch your bottom hand placement on your stick. It could be a little more fluid with its movement as you handle the puck.

@GrantEverett

You’re not the first person to talk to me about rolling the puck instead of chopping at it. Might make that my biggest priority right now.

@AmeliaGreen

That’s a great place to start.

@GrantEverett

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. I really appreciate it.

@AmeliaGreen

Happy to help!

@GrantEverett

It’s August 1st. You didn’t specify when your birthday is, so I’m giving a broad happy birthday statement for whenever it might be!

@AmeliaGreen

August 27th. But thank you in advance!

@GrantEverett

Noted!

We have six weeks until training camp. How has your summer been?
