Is your Ice Time LIMITED because you're NOT favoured by your Coach?

Your coach puts players on the ice that they are COMFORTABLE with TRUSTING in games. Simple as that.

So your only focus should be. What types of plays should I execute to build that trust. Often that starts in the D-Zone with breakouts, d-zone coverage and basic o-zone rush attempts.

It won't come from fancy dangles. But nailing the basics they expect you to deliver. Boring stuff. But critical for you to do well in games.
