I would say knowing puck handling and when to puck handle is best. For instance, lets say you're puck handling really fast against a defender. like short little dekes. he'll just poke check you and you'll lose the puck. so it might be better just to casually puck handle and have better control of the puck, until you see his stick go for the puck. than you can do the wide puck handle and skate away from him. And if you''re against a goalie, you can do the fast dekes and confuse him. It's usually easier to know how far a goalie is away from your stick than a player. So unless you're confident in your stick handling don't try the stuff you just learnt on a player. This doesn't mean never try on a player, just know it'll be harder against them. If you're feeling like it try, it on a player. Just know against a forward or defenceman it'll be more difficult. Just have fun. These are just notes to help you progress. Do what you learnt and if you fail assets what went wrong and if you don't know. ask a friend that was watching or a teammate.
