This is done the same at both ends. Forwards line up in one corner with the pucks. The forward in front passes out to the defenseman at the red line. The defenseman passes back to the forward on the fly as he accelerates, and then the forward comes down 1 on 1 on the defense. For the defender, the idea is to back skate so that you stay between the attacker and the path to the net. Try to watch his CHEST. Watching the puck will get you beaten. Be careful not ot back into the gaolie too. If you wait too long to "step-up" on the attacker, he will use you as a screen. I recommend you step up no later than the top of the face-off circles. |
