RookieCoachT2-4 – Continuous Forecheck Breakout
A Continuous forechecking / breakout game . Works well with 3 units 5 if possible. But I also you it with on;ly 4 D and 9 forwards .( The D stay on the breakout only and forecheck with 3 forwards.)
At first it might be a little confusing , but works the forecheck against the breakout under pressure. Can be a fast pace game sometimes.
– you can set the defensive (breakout team ) deep or at the blue line to give hard pressure or passive pressure.
Description:
– One Puck.
– To start each line sets up in a zone. —
– NZ group starts by dumping the puck in one end and forechecks set out by coach or team structures.
– Breakout against forechecking pressure. Forecheckers can score . A on freeze of puck by goalie you can put in back in the corner or give the breakout team a free clear.
– the breakout team must carry the puck out over the blue line and forechecking stops.
– the breakout unit then dumps it in the opposite end and now become the forecheckers at that end.
– Plays is continuous with this format.
*At first you can signal the end of the forecheck with a coaches at the blue line whistle until they understand the flow.
Also if you have a smaller NZ you can make the forecheck stop just pass the top of the circles.
*Keep score , good breakouts against forecheck. turnovers etc. Bonus for scoring on a forecheck.
works on forechecking , breakout , D zone coverage , dump and a chase etc.
