Counters
Counter attacks occur when
the offensive team turns the puck over in the neutral zone
or at the opposition blueline. When the puck is recovered,
quickness is the key. All the forwards must get available
quickly before the opposition can recover. In the Stanley
Cup playoffs when the checking gets really close, counters
are the best way to get scoring chances.
Keys:
1. Quickness
2. A middle drive to the net
3. Shoot at every opportunity - a shot and rebound is
usually better than a pass
