On Nov. 25, 2022, University of Minnesota centerman Logan Cooley had the puck on his stick and plenty of space behind his opponent’s net. As he skated back above the goal line, his path to the net was cut off by a defenseman, so he executed a 180-degree turn on a dime and skated back into the still-vacant ice behind the net with the puck on his forehand.
“Any time I’m behind the net and have a little space, I’m kind of thinking about it,” says Cooley, who was picked third in last year’s NHL draft by the Coyotes.
