2 v 1 Defensive Read the Rush:
- Good body & stick positioning
- Quick sticks & anticipation
- Stick well out in front of you, ready to deflect pass
- The 'D' must stay up & in the middle of the ice between the forwards
- The 'D' should keep the puck wide
- If a pass be made back to the slot, the 'D' must pressure and attack the slot
- The 'D' should keep a tight gap
- Goalie should call I have the shooter
Do Not:
- Do not give up huge gap through center ice
- Do not back up into goalie
- Do not commit to one forward
Teaching Notes:
- At higher levels you can not allow the players to shoot from slot
- Defenders must develop fakes stick checks & checks
