Hockey IQ:
Learning the Patterns of the Game
Hockey IQ means being smart about the game. It’s not about being the fastest or strongest—it’s about seeing what’s happening and knowing what to do next. Hockey is full of patterns: breakouts, regroups, zone entries, & cycles. The more you notice these patterns, the easier it is to make great plays.
There aren’t that many patterns, but you have to learn them, recognize them, and choose the best way to help your team. That’s what smart players do—and that’s why they’re so important. They don’t just chase the puck, they "go to where the puck is going to be". - Wayne Gretzky

The key to developing world class Hockey IQ is directly related to a players ability to practice, identify and execute patterns at the speed of the game.
