Actions like scoring goals, killing penalties, defending goals, and earning assists are some great ways to impress your in-game coach. A good game sense like that is just the first step, however.

At times, before or during a game in the NHL 22 Be a Pro mode, your coach will call over your player for a discussion. He will issue a challenge to your player with one of two options available to select.

These objectives will vary depending on what type of situation the team is in. It can be anything from keeping your team in the lead to scoring a single goal before the game is over.
