7. BREAK OUT KEYS

Read Play and Communicate!
“QUICK FEET” by defenseman
getting puck.
Forwards hustle hard, get
available as early as possible.
Stick on ice.
Firm accurate passes, tape to
tape.
Forwards should force longer
routes for opponents
forecheckers.
Quickest play is ussually the
best play!
Goalie must talk and make D
aware of what is happening.
Pucks shot around the boards
must be hard.
Pucks taken by our forwards
must be:
STOPPED
CONTROLLED
CLEARED
Forwards should work to get
forward motion, no standing still.
Talk between team mates is
necessary.
