We are just over the half way point in the season and although there are more games to make up for lost points, it also gives more teams the opportunity to gain more distance in the standings from their opposition. Over the seasons it has proven to be true that the big difference between placing in a higher seed as opposed to a lower seed in the standings is not the caliber of players on the team. The more important aspect to succeeding in adult league hockey is having a consistent group of players that show to every game.
Most games are won and lost in the third period. When you look out at the teams that are losing, it is usually because they only have 7-8 players on the ice per game. Although the roster has 12-15 players, only about half are showing up on a consistent basis.
Remember that if you want to succeed in this league, show up…
We have openings in every division so if you are interested in playing please contact our Hockey Director at (949) 683-8677 or email Matt Dunaev at mdunaev@icetown.com for more information on joining our Adult hockey league.

The Hockey Academy is developing players as it has always and is encouraging players to continue to grow through the system. Although the coaches are watching to see which players are ready to move to in house, don’t hesitate to ask a coach if your superstar feels like they are ready to pushed to the next level.

How to Shoot a One-Timer
A One-timer is simply a slap shot that you shoot as soon as you receive the puck. Your stick only makes contact with the puck once.
The big advantage to any slap shot is the speed of the shot. Fast, hard shots are harder for the goalie to stop. What you gain in power, you lose in precision and accuracy compared to a wrist, or snap shot.
The goal of a one-timer is get the puck off fast, hard, and on-net. If you take the time to receive the pass and aim, the goalie has a chance to move back into position and take away a prime scoring chance.
The key is timing, and it's not easy. You've got to wind up for your shot before the puck arrives. You'll find a short, low windup at about knee level and moving your lower hand down on your stick and getting as low as possible will help. You've got to practice. It’s way too easy to fan on your shot, or miss the net if the first time you try a one-timer is in a game. Have a buddy feed you some pucks before a game and blast them into the corner during a warm-up before your next game.
The best time to try a one-timer is when the goalie is out of position. This often happens on cross-ice passes in front of the net. The goalie is setup initially for the player with the puck on one side, then has to quickly move to the other side of the net for the one-timer. This play works best with fast, crisp passes. A soft pass usually gives the goalie too much time.
