ADM 2-1 FORECHECK

PURPOSE

To teach both body contact angling and introduce an aggressive 2-1 low zone forecheck.

HOW TO

1. Player starts in far corner and skates behind net to pick up a puck then proceeds to work up board side lane.
2. F1, released by coach to give a variable gap, becomes main attacker, while 2, who goes at the same time, becomes support attacker.
3. F1 & F2 try to gain possession and score, while “d” player tries to skate through cone gates. F1 goes to line, F2 becomes F1, and D becomes F2.

FOCUS

• Angling with authority and appropriate body contact along the boards

• Controlling gap and recognizing space to force & capitalize on a turn over

VARIATIONS

• Make it a 2v2
• Shrink the space used
• Allow D player to choose side of break out so forwards have to adjust to angle of attack
• Run consecutively to the right then to the left, etc.
