which Mark the limits of the ice if a Goldie
handles the puck behind the red line outside
of this trapezoid they’ll get a two-minute
penalty on January 18th 1958 Willie o became
the first black player in the National Hockey
League when he debuted for the Boston Bruins
in Montreal although he was a prolific Junior
player before his National Hockey League days

off the ice including extreme racial intolerance
and losing most of the vision in his right eye
after being hit with a puck O’s Outreach did
not stop with his playing days as he continues to
promote Grassroots hockey programs and focuses on
serving economically disadvantaged children his
perseverance is something we can all learn from
and in 2018 re-entered hockey immortality when he
was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame it can
be easy to miss one of the most important aspects
of the game line changes players may change in
and out of play both during a stoppage of play
or while play goes on better known as changing

almost at the end of the episode but I know
all of you have been patiently waiting for
what’s next this year we received many videos
from fans who wanted us to break down their
skills on our show and while we couldn’t fit
them all in there were more than a few that
deserved a second look it’s time for the top
10 chill skills submissions of the Season hi
everyone and welcome to chill skills I’m
Thomas Hickey every ice Time episode this
season has featured footage sent in from you
fans at home but we appreciate all the submiss
we want to shout out a few of our favorites here
are the top 10 chill skills moments of the Year
number 10 is crew practicing his wrist shot crew
is our MVP of hockey drills since he sent in a
video almost every week keep up the hard work crew
and thank you for sending in all your different
kinds of drills number nine is RJ with a goal
on the Breakaway when he catches up to the puck
he takes his time and scores after a nice deak
it’s not just about speed in moments like this
patience pays off too at number eight it’s Jacob
with jet-like speed before in a assist trust us
we didn’t speed up the footage here Jacob is just
really fast we might even see Jacob in the fastest
skater competition someday up next is Walter’s two
bar down goals the first one is a backhander after
a quick deak and the second is on a strong attack
to the net clearly Walter has a scorer mentality
number six is Nixon with terrific teamwork Nixon
has strong skills in the ice too but this is our
favorite video he sent in all year at number five
it’s Ryder with three deakes before a goal the
defender stood no chance as Ryder moved past each
stick check for the whole play he stayed composed
and that’s why he was able to put it in the back
of the net Nash is number four with this between
the legs pass well we advise all of you to shoot
on that from this spot Nash is setup displayed
great skill so he had to include it in the top
10 now we’re in the top three here’s Preston
with another pass like Nash but this one was
between two players as well Preston found the
perfect angle to set up his teammate for the tapin
goal really impressive pass Preston number two is
Lucas’s Michigan goal we’re seeing more kids every
day shots like this and it only makes the game
better remember don’t just practice one way to
shoot it’s important to add every kind of shot to
your skill set Luca you’re a beast and at number
one it’s Keli with this spinorama goal there’s no
way any goalie on planet Earth would know where
this Puck was going to go clearly Kelby has
practiced this hundreds of times cuz I think even
some NHL stars would struggle with a shot like
this awesome goal Kelby congrats on the number one
spot maybe someday we’ll see one of these fans in
the league thanks again to everyone who sent in
footage I’m Thomas Hickey and we’ll see you again
next season on chill skills back to you Catherine

skills you fans sent in thank you to everyone who
watched each episode we have had a blast teaching
you fans about hockey with the coolest show on

this show as we have the best of the rest for
you to enjoy I’m Katherine Tappen and we’ll see
