One of the most important
factors in winning hockey games is getting the puck in
deep on every rush.
Turning the puck over at the blueline often results in a
counter attack and a scoring chance for the opposition. If
possible, the puck should enter the zone along the boards
and then be worked back into the middle. A man without the
puck should drive through the middle to draw a defenceman
and open up the other forward for a pass. Dangerous stick
handling at the blueline can result in a turnover. The
puck carrier must recognize when it is necessary to chip
the puck into the zone or rim it hard around the boards.
Keys:
1. Attack with speed.
2. Pass wide before or at the blueline.
3. Work the puck into a scoring position.
4. Always have a middle drive to the net.
5. Chip or rim if necessary.
