Forechecking
Forechecking is an essential part of hockey. Good
forechecking is an art. Here are some important tips that
will make you a better forechecker:
1. Hustle hard after the
puck.
2. Angle intelligently.
3. Finish your check.
One of the most important
points for good forechecking is to use your stick to
direct the opponent where you want them to go. A smart
stick placement will force your opponent to pass the puck
exactly where you want it passed. Also, always forecheck
with your stick on the ice, that way there is always a
chance the puck will hit it!
