For our first episode we have Sam Steel, a 24 year old player for Anaheim.  Sam is a perfect opening episode because his game is rich with important player development topics.  The Steel study offers a platform to discuss the value of acquiring good pucks and how central this one aspect is to helping players breakthrough in the NHL in their offensive game.  With puck acquisition becoming his central challenge, there are a number of factors that spiral him into the position he is now battling in offensively.

Episode Notes:

• The Importance of puck acquisitions and compound possessions
• Improving the conditions of the puck
• The impact of puck touches and offensive rhythm
• Route discipline issues lead him into an acquisition into a stop
