DT100 – Continuous 2 v 2 w/Passive Support:

Here is a simple transition game to focus on forechecking habits and D moving their feet with the puck.

Description:
– Play starts with 2 v 2 at NZ
– F1 & F2 are at redline must dump puck in & forecheck
– D1 & D2 can pass to eachother behind the net, but must carry the puck from goal line to top of circles before passing to support players who wait passively in NZ.
– Next D wait at redline to defend in opposite direction. They back up and retrieve puck AFTER it's dumped. No cheating!

Forecheckers:
– Stick on the ice, stick on the puck, feet moving
– Read & react! Execute whatever your forecheck strategy is with intensity

Defense:
– Shoulder check & keep your feet moving
– Use each other behind the net (reverse, over etc)
– Beat the first forechecker if you can
