	Stopping at the net is a skill that every player, regardless of age or level, should try to incorporate into their game. When we say incorporate, we mean sooner rather than later, so let's get started. Stopping at the net sounds simple enough, yet surprisingly, it's a skill that most players struggle with. Maybe we're not taught at an early enough age, or maybe it's a skill that, as players, we don't view as being important. Whatever the reason, we're here to say that it is important and to encourage you to teach yourself if others aren't. Next time you're watching an NHL game, watch players like John Leclair, or a Keith Tkachuk. Whether it's a 2-on-1, a 3-on-1, or a simple shot from the point, these players instinctively know to stop at the net. By doing so, they are constantly rewarded with rebounds and goals that the majority of players never get. The tendency for the majority of hockey players is to curl away from the net rather than to stop at it. If you can begin to incorporate stopping at the net in your repertoire, we guarantee that you will be a better player for it. We encourage you to start working on stopping at the net as early as you can and as much as you can. Work at it in practices, and it will come naturally in games. Keep it in your mind and commit to working at it, and somewhere along the way, it will become a skill that you posses and a skill that makes you a better hockey player.
