Welcome back, {{firstname | Playmaker}}.

And a special welcome to some of our newest HPC members Taylor Page, Shaun Etherington, and Fletcher Muirhead. These guys wasted no time getting their profiles live and sharing game footage inside the community — exactly how players get seen, get feedback, and get better here.

This week’s report is all about habits — the kind that create clean entries, open space in the neutral zone, and turn simple rushes into goals. From a neutral-zone flow drill that reinforces timing and scanning, to a Hockey IQ breakdown on the small details that separate chances from finishes, there’s a lot to steal here.

With rumors linking Hughes to a desire to eventually play alongside his brothers in New Jersey, but the Wild climbing the NHL standings, can Minnesota do enough to keep him long term?
