Why Aidan Rioux Says Outsmarting Opponents on Ice Beats Raw Power Every Time — And What That Means for Your Game Plan
“Ever since the 2013 lockout, the league has been wide open and just really oriented towards speed and skill where they don’t allow any skilled player to be outshined by a goon because they’re able to somehow cheat or grab or clutch and all that stuff. They really cleaned up the game where it’s about skill and not about thuggery anymore,” he notes.
This evolution has created expanded opportunities for players who prioritize intelligence and creativity over physical intimidation. The modern game increasingly rewards players who can think quickly, adapt to changing situations, and create scoring opportunities through skill rather than force.
