If the puck has landed against the board, or is loose on the ice, get to it as quickly as you can so that you can gain control of it and decide what your next move is going to be.

While playing, your stick should be on the ice at all times. Not only is it safer for you and the others on the ice, it allows you to be ready to receive the puck at a moments notice.

Take some time to watch the professionals play the game. Watch how they handle the puck and the rest of their moves. Then when you get out on the ice, you can take what you have learned by watching and put it into play.

When traveling with the puck, don't keep it too close to your body. This will make you constantly look down instead of looking forward.

When handling the puck, try to keep it in the center of the blade of your stick. This gives you maximum control when you have the hockey puck in your possession.

Remember to keep your lower hand in the middle of your stick. This will allow you to be able to shoot and pass with the most force.
