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 Shooting.
Evan 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.
Evan has moved Shooting from Consistent into Competitive. Shooting measures shot selection, mechanics, timing, and the ability to create and finish quality attempts.

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.

Evan's Skill Build: Shooting
Your drill this week: One-Timer Shooting Drill
Develop the one-timer shooting technique by practicing cross-ice pass receptions and immediate power shots on a live goalie.
Pick the cue that tells you when to go. Say it quietly before the rep starts.
The one-timer is hockey's most powerful and hardest-to-save shot — it eliminates the goalie's read time and generates the most force of any shooting technique.
You positions at the back of the face-off circle; passer is at the opposite face-off dot.
Sync your swing to the pass arrival, not to your own timing
You've got it when your one-timer makes a solid thump and goes on net, not a scoop, not a mishit, a real shot the goalie has to stop.
Add a penalty killer who rushes the shooter from the point, requiring faster release and shot decision.
