Finn is performing at a standout level. The next jump is Puck Handling.
Finn is doing well with backward skating & pivots, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Finn has moved Puck Handling from Consistent into Competitive. Puck Handling 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.

Finn's Skill Build: Puck Handling
Your drill this week: Speed Deke Circuit
Build advanced puck handling at game speed by executing a series of deking moves through a structured circuit.
When you trust your touch, your confidence shows — make each move with conviction, not caution.
Deking requires precise coordination between skating edge changes and puck movement — the blade must shift the puck in sync with the body move to sell the fake.
Set up a circuit: (a) forehand-to-backhand deke through two cones, (b) tight inside turn with puck on backhand, (c) speed move straight-line to a defender dummy.
Sell the move with your shoulders before your hands
Success is executing each deke move in the circuit cleanly enough that a real defender would be faked out, no telegraphing, no hesitation.
Add a live defender at the final station who reacts to the speed move in real time.
