Reply To: Clearing the defensive zone

Good additional insights, Tom and Dave. I tend to go more toward the 'games' continuum earlier than Tom but it is just a different style. One has to ensure the players are competent with their basic skill sets… I like the ideas about practicing an escape move (deception, puck protection, move the feet, etc.) and these are all things I have implemented in the past.

See my Game Intelligence topic for more… I will post more thoughts over there.
