Benning grew up in a hockey family. His father Brian, also an
Edmonton native, played 10 NHL seasons with the Oilers, St. Louis
Blues, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers and Florida Panthers
from 1984 to 1995. He had 63 goals and 233 assists for 296 points
in 568 NHL regular season games including one goal and seven
assists for eight points in 18 games with the Oilers in 1992-93. Brian
Benning also has the distinction of being among the players traded
from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh for Oilers legend Paul Coffey in 1992.
Matt’s uncle Jim, also an Edmonton native, played nine seasons as
a defenseman with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vancouver
Canucks from 1981-1990. He had 52 goals and 191 assists for 243
points in 605 games. After his playing career, Jim became an NHL
scout for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and Buffalo Sabres, before
being the assistant general manager of the Boston Bruins (winning
a Stanley Cup in 2011) and since 2014 has been the general manager
of the Vancouver Canucks.
In an interesting note, Jim played a key role in the Bruins drafting

with my teammates.”
For those minor hockey league players who have dreams of
making it to the NHL, Benning has the following advice.
“No matter what, I encourage them to be a student of the game.
Watch video and watch players on the ice that you try to role
yourself after. At the NHL level, the best players in the world are
watching shifts consistently. They are addicted to getting better.
It doesn’t matter if you are dominating your level or hanging in
there, it is important to be a student of the game. It helps you
get better.”
Benning’s goal this season is simple. Once he gets back into the
lineup, he wants to stay healthy and be a positive contributor to
the team. In evaluating Benning’s success to the Oilers, you do
not need to look at all of the offensive statistics. There is one stat
that has more meaning than all the others, and that is the plus/
minus category.

2 bottom hand pushes the stick towards the target.
Ensure that your hands are away from your body.
The harder you “shift your weight” between your

release. Keep your “shooting leg” bent with your
knee bent overtop of your toes.
Keep your puck “loaded” at all times. Being able to

the shot power comes from.

12 Moving (pushing/pulling/hiding) the puck before/

the goalie to move, opening holes in their stance.
7 Push your momentum forward. Step into your shot

8 Keep your chest over-top of the puck before, during,
and after your release. Keep your weight on the balls
of your feet with minimal weight on your heels. This
facilitates optimal accuracy and power.
