Dumping the Puck to Create
a Forecheck
Dumping the puck into the offensive zone can
be used to create an aggressive forecheck and often
results in a scoring chance. Here are some effective ways
to dump the puck, especially when facing a goalie who
likes to play the puck:
SOFT CHIP
- Off the boards by
the defender. The puck can be retrieved either by
the chipper or the support man driving through the
middle.
CROSS CORNER DUMP
- To a streaking
winger in an attempt to get a shot on net or to
create a cycle, while keeping away from the
goalie.
HARD AROUND THE
BOARDS or GLASS
- Keep the puck away
from the goalie.
- Winger or centre
will retrieve puck to start forecheck and the
player dumping usually becomes the 'high-man' on
the forecheck.
