After one time in the 1-on-1 drill, I played the man perfectly and got the puck away from the forward, but didn't get to the puck and out of the zone as fast as I could. Coach came up to me and asked if that was the hardest I could skate out of the zone. I said no. He told me that I need to battle to get the puck out of the zone like I would in a game. He said that's a lazy play that Tier 3 players make. He said I'm not a Tier 3 player. The next time I went on the drill, I played it perfectly with my gap and I focused on taking the body, not the puck. And once I got the puck, I skated as hard as I could out. Coach came up to me after and told me that I played it perfectly and that I need to have that kind of grit and mental determination every time.
