Summary

A strategy to use when you can’t seem to win faceoffs

Set Up

Put a Long Stick Defensive player as the faceoff player, whose roll is to not let the faceoff opponent go forward.

  • Attack – Lined up at retraining box ready to chase
  • Wing Players – Stay with your matchup, but remain in a defensive position, don’t let them get upfield from you

We want to force the ball backwards and as soon as that happens, the attack is in an all out ride. The opponent will use the goalie or a defender as support, and when they do, we go back to our riding principles
