I learned something new yesterday and thought I'd share…..It's not new material really, but a simple way to have a few different fore checking systems without complicating things too much. The info comes from Jack Parker, long time coach at Boston University.
The Three forechecks:
1) Triangle +2
2) Inverted triangle +2 (or left wing lock)
3) Passive inverted triagle +2 (or 1-3-1)Key points:
-F1 & F2 always forecheck in "I" formation, one behind the other
-By changing the role of the 3rd forward (usually left wing) from covering middle to covering board side wing you can switch between two different looks quickly and easily
-The final passive option is used when defense is top priority (last few minutes of a game or period)Attached are diagrams of the first 2. I'll make another post and attach the third.
Here's the third….
