Key Strengths

3 Areas
  • Emma Kooistra is a reliable, hard-working two-way forward with a strong foundation in positioning and effort.
  • Her hockey IQ is a significant asset, allowing her to be effective in all three zones.
  • She is a supportive teammate who understands and executes team concepts well, particularly defensively.

Opportunities

4 Areas
  • Explosive Skating — Incorporate off-ice plyometrics and on-ice start/stop drills to improve the power of the first three strides. This will help create separation offensively and close gaps more effectively on defense.
  • Shooting Refinement — Dedicate practice time to shooting with power and precision. Focus on a quicker release and aiming for the corners of the net, both high and low. Increasing shot velocity will turn more opportunities into goals.
  • Backhand Skill Development — Practice stickhandling, passing, and receiving on the backhand to build confidence. This will make her a more versatile and unpredictable player with the puck.
  • Advanced Playmaking — Work on vision drills that encourage identifying secondary and tertiary options, looking for cross-ice seams and anticipating where teammates will be.
