This is the handbook we used for team play my last two seasons with the U of Calgry Dino men's hockey team. Not much has changed in the game. It was the mid 90's and you could still pin a player and hold him a few seconds to stop a cycle and put a stick on players and screen them to hold them up in the neutral zone. Everyone also collapses a little deeper into the slot now and teams swarm when an attacker is facing the glass near the boards. The rotations are basically the same in the dzone and the forecheck.

I was coaching with two former NHL defensemen; so it was a great learning experience.
