Posted it in the GDT by accident, so I'll copy it here as well:
A really good article discussing Zary's work on his skating, and his hockey IQ.
Quote:
“I’ve heard that my whole life — that I won’t be fast enough, that I’m going to have to catch up, that my skating is not good enough,” Zary said.
“Strength and power go hand-in-hand,” Fujita explained. “For Connor, it was a combination of spending time on his technique and efficiency — because he was lacking on both — and then spending time in the gym and getting that strength built up.
“Now that he’s put in time in the gym and on the ice, now they’re there. I’ll tell you, and he will admit, he still has work to do with me. He still has goals to reach and things to accomplish, but he is well on his way. He’s making a career in the NHL. Now, it’s my job to work with him to sustain that career.”
