Too many players use the pass as a way out instead of a solution. Let’s discuss one of the biggest hockey IQ mistakes players make, passing the puck to avoid responsibility instead of solving the problem themselves. Good hockey is not about getting rid of the puck. It is about buying time, creating space, and making the players around you better. Whether you are under pressure on the wall, defending a rush, or playing a position you are not used to, your job is to support the play, not hand off your mistake to someone else. If you want to play faster, earn trust from coaches, and become a more reliable player, this mindset has to change. Stop passing off your problem. Solve it. #hockey #skating #hockeyiq #hockeyskills
