T4 Penalty Kill vs 1-3-1 Diamond
This pk style was replaced by the 1-3 and now many teams have gone back to the diamond.
Key Points:
Defend in a collapsible diamond with the top player skating up and back and only sideways if the point man skates with the puck.Description" from the diagram in the pdf. attached below.
1 – Skate in straight lines out from the net. Drop to the slot when the puck is passed to either side. DO NOT CHASE PASSES TO EITHER SIDE.
2-3 – Diamond when the puck is in the middle and block shot when at your side. Collapse to middle when the puck is passed to the other side.
4 – Front the screener and seal stick to the outside on a shot.
* If the mid-point player with the puck skates one way the top man has to go with him. If he skates and passes back to the middle then the player who did the 'fall under' to the middle go straight out and become the high man and the original high man switch roles with him. It is a tandem rotation. Do you never allow an unchallenged shot from the point.
Key is to 'Defend from the NET Out.'

'Enjoy the Game'This is the Czech U20 team that came to Calgary to practice and play a tournament with two teams from Canada and the Russians. Them and the Russians practiced at the Edge School just outside of Calgary. This is a short clip that I took just as I got there and caught the end of the individual warm-up. Petr Svoboda, who played for Toronto coached their defense. I worked with him in the Czech Republic doing a hockey camp and also mentored him in his practice plans for his team. The club offered me a job as coach mentor. Petr coached the Czech U17 team that came to Calgary for a Christmas tournament and has taken the top certification now and is with their U20 team. Great guy. He let me know he was coming and I attended all their practices and have posted a lot of the drills with them and the Russians here.

Description:
1. Defense at one end and alternate options when they go back for a puck.
2. Shoulder check, fake turn right, left, counter, wheel.
