As one of THE power forwards of the SHL, I was asked to take an up-and-comer with a similar philosophy under my wing and try to bring his checking tendencies under some kind of control. As the current SMJHL hits leader and likewise a power forward, Anthony Archer @Zach definitely fits that bill. I don't really put much stock into what we as hockey players do when not on the ice - unless it involves copious amounts of drinking - so instead I tried to put Archer through many of the on-ice scenarios he would face and what he should do during them. One example was what to do when on a two-on-one situation with a teammate against the goalie. Obviously, the correct answer there is to fire the puck at the net, as passing is for chumps and more than likely you're just a better shot than that teammate could ever hope to be. Similarly, if you happen to have one of those guys that just randomly skates around the ice with the puck and refuses to do anything with it, sometimes it's necessary to chase him down yourself, knock him off the puck, and go score. He'll probably even get credit for the assist still.
