This class is for both offensive and defensive players. Offensive players will work on a variety of dodges against a defenseman from various typical locations on the field (from X, from the wing, from up top). We will work on the proper technique; stick protection, footwork, shot location and team offense principles.
Defensive players will be coached in individual technique (stance, hand position, body position, checking), defending one-on-one (from X, from the wing, from up top), and team defense (playing off the ball, sliding, transition defense and team defensive schemes).
