Defensive Zone Coverage - The Puck Carrier is Behind Goal




System/Strategy:

Positioning:



  • Box in One Positioning




  • Tight Box and defense pressure puck carrier on to his backhand





Reads:

  • The Defense must read we are in a tight box and one
  • The Defense must read and pressure puck carrier on to his backhand
  • The Center must read and replace the defender at the post 








Keys:

  • The defense go to the corners of the net and stop all pass out attempts
  • The three forwards must come down low and tight in front of the net
  • The center takes the spot of the defender pressuring the puck carrier
  • The center, one defender, and two forwards form a tight box
  • The players must  keep their 'head on a swivel' with sticks on the ice 
  • The defense must read the play and force the puck carrier to his back hand
  • The center takes the spot of the defender pressuring the puck carrier
  • The players must  keep their 'head on a swivel' with sticks on the ice

Sports Psychology Tips:

Eliminate Negative  Self-Talk



We talk to ourselves throughout the day, practices and games. Your self-talk can become frequently negative after a mistake. Often we re-play these mistakes with an internal dialog. Negative self-talk creates anxiety about the future. Practicing positive self-talk can help you set in motion, actions that will bring success on the ice. The first step is  for you to become aware of negative self-talk. Turning negative self-talk to positive thoughts can take time. Your positive or negative self-talk is habit. To break these negative patterns, you must replace habitual negative talk with a positive statement. The key is to challenge yourself to turn every negative into a positive. It takes about 30 days to make this a positive habit.
