Defensive Read the Rush:

In this video the defense communicates 2 times to the forward to pick up man. But the forwards fails to get to middle ice and pick up his man. Forwards need to backcheck between the dots.

Terms:

  • Read, Communicate, Pressure Up & Contain

Reads:

  • 2 v 2 or 2 v 1?
  • If there a large gap, it is a 2 v 1
  • If the backchecker on board it is a 2 v 1

                     Never Backcheck down boards

Keys:

  • Protect the middle on uneven situations
  • Take angle or circular approach to make check

    Playing Rules:

    • Always Backcheck down the middle ice
    • Backcheck to the slot
    • Always finish checks
    • Keep the ice divided

     The backchecker is beat because he is not in the middle lane.

    The backchecker losses the race to slot
