Experiencing the 2024 total solar eclipse in New Brunswick | SaltWire #solareclipse #eastcoastThe prep work Marc Methot did for his first first cameo appearance as PWHL Ottawa’s “hitting coach” included regularly scheduled visits to the medicine cabinet in his bathroom.
Nineteen games into the league’s first year, Ottawa has lost three players to season-ending injuries. For the first time in their hockey lives, contact is allowed, but mostly just along the boards, not open-ice hits. What he focused on was “teaching contact and absorbing hits, protecting yourself” as well as angling properly and boxing out.
Upon some prodding, Methot also showed them the proper technique for a hip check, which was his trademark, but is not allowed in the PWHL.“If history comes around and I’m in the first PWHL fight, I’ll be ready for it,” joked the 24-year old Toronto product, who before requesting a scrapping tip was delivering a big hip check to an imaginary opponent into the boards. “I was trying. That’s something I haven’t added to my game quite yet.
Said forward Rosalie Demers: “I remember watching him play when I was really little, and just to hear what he has to say … I think he was known in the NHL for being really physical, and just the way he teaches us things, like going into the corner different ways, like lean to be lower on your legs. I think having someone like him coming today will prevent injuries and also help us give better hits so we can separate the player from the puck.
