The 200-foot forward: reliable everywhere, all the time

A rink is 200 feet long, and the "200-foot" forward plays all of it: dangerous in the offensive zone, working through neutral ice, reliable in the defensive zone. This is the player the coach sends out to protect a late lead AND to start a power play. The NHL honors this profile every year with the Selke Trophy, which Patrice Bergeron won a record six times.

Progress, not pressure

Why this profile should interest every parent: it is statistically the safest road to higher levels. Teams always find scorers; they search desperately for players they can trust in any situation. RinkLog's "200-foot Forward" preset tracks exactly this profile: power play AND penalty kill shifts, +/-, chances both ways, faceoffs. The curve of those statistics is the future trusted player's portfolio.
