Key Strengths

3 Areas
  • Leah Thacyk is a reliable, intelligent two-way defenseman who excels in the defensive aspects of the game.
  • Her primary strengths are her high hockey IQ, sound defensive positioning, and effective backward mobility.
  • She reads the play exceptionally well, maintains excellent gap control, and makes a strong, smart first pass to start the breakout.

Opportunities

3 Areas
  • Explosive Power Development — Off-ice plyometrics and on-ice power skating will improve her first-step quickness, helping her close gaps faster and create better separation when carrying the puck. A deeper knee bend and full leg extension will translate to greater overall speed.
  • Enhancing Offensive Threat from the Point — Adding offensive tools will make her more versatile. She should decrease her shot release time, increase shot power, and practice one-timers and walking the blue line to create better shooting lanes.
  • Puck Protection Under Duress — Continuing to develop puck protection at top speed will let her carry the puck through the neutral zone with more confidence and resist pressure from faster opponents.
