I took in Boruvka Banananak, a player who I admire for his goal-scoring prowess and his tenacity to stay down in the SMJHL despite the fact virtually everyone in his draft class is up in the SHL. I taught him how to pass, because as far as I am aware he doesn't know how to pass at all and really just relies on shooting the puck. "Make shoot" he says, over and over. So I taught him a wide variety of skills related to "make pass", and he soon learned it very well, and even started saying "make pass" multiple times, so I think I made some serious headway. After that we did a lot of defensive drills, and he took to that surprisingly well. So well that I was surprised he was able to do it so effectively. Now do I think he will be able to keep these skills going after he moves on to his SHL team? I have no idea, but I am certainly glad that I had the opportunity to do this and spend some time with him.
