Little Things- Creating More Time & Space at Offensive Blue Line

Playing Rules:

  • The defense plays man, you, goal in all three zones


Body Positioning:
  • The  defenceman can receive a pass with his skates out side the blue line
  • As long as the defenceman stick is inside the blue line, the play is on-sides

Concept: (This is based on where the defenders are positioned)

  • If the point man receive the puck on or at the blue line, he has more time & space to shoot
