Skating and Defense are already showing up as meaningful strengths through live shifts, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Positioning.
Owen 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.
Owen has moved Positioning from Consistent into Competitive. Positioning measures how early and how well the athlete gets into the right spot instead of reacting late to the play.

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.

Owen's Skill Build: Positioning
Your drill this week: Defensive Zone Gap Control
Skate to correct gap-control positions in the defensive zone in response to puck location cues.
Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.
Gap control is the single most important defensive positioning concept in hockey.
Mark three defensive positions: strong side, center lane, weak side, with cones.
Beat the puck to the position, if you're reacting after it's already too late
You've got it when you reach the correct gap position and hold your stance for a 2-count before the parent points again, 13 of 15 reps.
Parent calls two consecutive positions, skate to one, touch it, immediately skate to the next.
