WAY TO WIN AND THE CRUNCH TIME.

WE LACKED THAT ABILITY THIS

YEAR FOR WHATEVER REASON.

Reporter: SHE'S TOP 20 FOR

GOALS, TOP 10 IN ASSISTS AND

TOP 7 IN POINTS.

SHE'S REALLY GOOD AT HOCKEY!

HOW THE BEST PLAYERS IS

MAKING HER MARK THIS YEAR.

Reporter: WHEN YOU WATCH A

HOCKEY GAME, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

WHEN JOEY PHELPS WATCHES A

GAME, ODDS ARE SHE SEES MORE

THAN YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE'S

ACTUALLY PLAYING IN IT.

PHELPS IS ONE OF THE TOP GOAL

SCORERS IN STATE.

BUT WHAT SETS HER APART IS

SHE'S ALSO ONE OF THE BEST

DISTRIBUTORS IN THE STATE.

ONE GIRL BEATING EVERYBODY,

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE.

NOW YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE PUCK,

DISTRIBUTE IT.

Reporter: PHELPS IS

AVERAGING NEARLY 3 POINTS PER

GAME.

AND IT'S THAT VISION THAT SHE

SEES ON THE ICE THAT HER COACH

SAYS PLAYS THE BIGGEST PART.

TWO STEPS AHEAD --

SOMETIMES YOU STRUGGLE ON THAT.

YOU SEE THE ONE OPTION.

IF YOU SEE TWO, THREE OPTIONS

AND YOU CAN READ THAT AND THEY

CAN TRIGGER IN AND YOU MAKE THE

RIGHT READ, YOU GET REWARDED.

SHE GETS THOSE POSITIONS AND

THEN IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR HER

OFFENSIVE SKILLS TO SHINE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THIS

YEAR.

DISTRIBUTING PUCKS AND SEEING

PLAYERS THAT OTHERS DON'T SEE.

I'M DEFINITELY A PASS FIRST

PLAYER ALL.

I LOOK FOR THE PASS BEFORE I DO

THE NET.

Reporter: WHICH IS MORE

IMPRESSIVE THAT A PASS FIRST

PLAYER CAN BE ONE OF THE TOP

GOALERS.

WILL SHE GO BACK ON THE D?

WILL SHE HIT THAT PLAYER?

THEY CAN'T JUST FOCUS ON HER

BECAUSE SHE'S MAKING EVERYBODY

ELSE A SCORER AS SHE'S CREATING

OFFENSE.

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH HOW THE

SEASON STARTED OUT.

I JUST HOPE TO CONTINUE.

Reporter: IT'S QUITE A THING
