Hockey is said to be the fastest sport on earth, with experience playing the game I have to agree. With a game as fast paced and ever developing in front of us at all times, one of our biggest assets can be simple pattern recognition. Patter recognition is a simple study of what is happing, or what has happened in and around the net. The first portion of pattern recognition, being the after the fact portion, is a simple study of video from past games and practices. There, coaches and players can look, stop, rewind, and slow motion what happened and how it happened.
