Liam is performing at a standout level. The next jump is Skating.
Liam is doing well with defensive zone coverage, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Liam has moved Skating from Competitive into Standout. Skating measures how reliably the athlete performs this part of the game when the pace, pressure, and decision-making demands are real.

Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player’s broader development level. They are based on the average of all skill milestones in the report.
Skills may be at different milestones. The overall stage shows the player’s combined development over time.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.

Liam's Skill Build: Skating
Your drill this week: Full-Speed Skating Efficiency Test
Develop and evaluate elite skating efficiency by timing full-ice skating sequences that demand maximum speed with technical precision.
Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.
Skating efficiency — producing maximum speed with minimum energy expenditure — is the defining physical characteristic of elite hockey players.
Complete a timed full-ice sequence: goal line sprint, backward skate to red, forward crossovers around center circle, pivot and sprint to far goal line.
Full extension on every stride, half-strides cost you distance and speed
You're doing it right when your final time trial matches your first, technique hasn't broken down under fatigue.
Add a puck to carry through the entire sequence, evaluating whether skating mechanics hold under the additional cognitive demand of puck control.
