Feet slamming the ice, Alex Newhook comes running down the wing. He looks up. The neutral zone is guarded by three defenders. So he accelerates wide, slides the puck in between an opposing stick and the wall, and sprints into the offensive zone, now free of his coverage and in position to create a scoring chance. Alexander Campbell, a fellow draft-eligible forward, rushes through mid-ice a few feet back as support. Newhook opens his hips, feet at 10-and-2, slowing down just enough to scan for his teammate. Campbell receives a lobbed pass onto his stick and finds himself alone with the goalie.
