🏒 Three goals. Two minutes and 44 seconds. One historic night for Hayley Scamurra.

In this episode of Our Girls Play Hockey, the crew breaks down Hayley’s incredible PWHL hat trick — the fastest in league history — and turns it into a masterclass for young hockey players looking to score more goals.

But here’s the twist: none of the goals were flashy breakaways or highlight-reel toe drags.

Every single one came from the hardest place to play in hockey: right in front of the net.

🎯 Deflections
🎯 Screens
🎯 Timing
🎯 Hockey IQ
🎯 Competing in traffic

Hayley, Lee, and Mike dive deep into what really makes elite net-front players successful — from reading cues and tracking pucks to mastering the “tip and turn” technique that creates rebounds, chaos, and goals.

If your player wants to become harder to defend, more valuable to coaches, and more dangerous offensively, this episode is packed with practical lessons they can start using immediately.
