University Jv
Defenseman (Blue)
• In this play, I take on a 2-on-1
• Being right handed, I have the advantage
with the attacking forward with the puck
being right handed as well. Because of
this I can force him closer to the boards
while maintaining the central position.
This decreases his shooting angle from his
right side.
• Knowing this, I force the shot and recover
to neutralize the stick of the second
forward who is attacking down his left
side
• The shooter misses the net, wrapping the
puck around the corner boards to his left
side, creating a free clear for our team.

Defenseman (Blue)
• Starting from the left defensive position, I
notice that all three of my forwards are
making themselves deep into the
offensive zone, behind the goal line.
• Recognizing this, I take a position farther
back from the bleuline.
• When the puck reaches me at our
bleuline, I decide not to make a D-to-D
pass to my fellow defensemen because of
the number of attackers approaching us.
• I instead make the safer clearance along
the near boards/glass, getting the puck
deep.

Defenseman (Blue)
• In this play, I am unable to prevent the
puck from exiting the zone, so I make a
decisive dump deep into the zone with
the one-timer wrist-shot.
• My intention was to sen the puck around
the back of the net to my players on the
other side of the ice after they tag-up at
the offensive bleuline to become on-
sides.

Defenseman (Blue)
• I collect the puck that was dumped
behind our net.
• Skating along the boards to the right
hash-mark, I notice my forward skating
horizontally across the far bleuline.
• I make my bank-pass off the boards to
him at the bleuline.
• The referee call offside, from the video he
appears to have been on-side.

• In this play, I make a body-check on the
player with the puck behind the net,
preventing him from doing the wrap-
around.

Defenseman (Blue)
• Starting from the left position on the
point.
• As the puck exits the zone, I find the
opportunity to stop the puck at the
centre redline, dumping the puck back
into the offensive zone, preventing icing.

• As the defensemen behind the face-off
dot, I begin to track the loose puck as it is
deflected towards the boards.
• When I gain control of the puck, I
immediately gain the centre redline, with
the intention of dumping deep.
• Fortunately, at the redline, I have a
teammate that is able to take the puck
and gain the offensive zone.
• As I protect the puck with my body
position, I notice a second opposition
player approaching for the double team.
This is when I use the one hand on my
stick to move the puck to my teammate.

Defenseman (Blue)
• As the right side defenseman, I make the
body check on the attacking forward with
the puck at the defensive bleuline.
• I prevent his entry into our defensive
zone, knocking the puck from his stick
and allowing our player to retrieve the
loose puck.

Defenseman (Blue)
• As the right side defenseman from the face-off,
I defend the zone in a straight-horizontal linear
fashion with my D partner. The reason for this is
to prevent any deflected passes coming from
the right side from being directed to a
vulnerable area of our net, as the attack begins
from my left side.
• With our goaltender hugging his left post, my
job in this scenario is to prevent only any shot
that could be directed at our goalie’s right side;
as it is that his position already covers his left.
• I am aware of the forward looping around me
from my right side corner, and I am in a position
to deflect, block a shot, or step out and make a
hit on the attacker attempting to force the
goalie to slide from post to post.
• From the right post position, I am able to track
the puck in the corner, where I notice
congestion up the boards and I find the open
left winger at the opposite side of the bleuline
for the breakout pass.

#22 Finlandia

Defenseman (Blue)
• As the left defenseman in this play, I
challenge the puck carrier to take the shot
from the less advantageous area along the
boards.
• As he appears to not be interested in using a
stick-move to gain position towards the
inside, I am content to maintain my position
and allow my goaltender to make the save.
• I continue to track him behind the net as I
am in the best position to follow him, my
intention is to prevent him from being able
to make a clean pass towards the front of
our net.
• After he relinquishes the puck, I regain a
defensive position in front of the net. My
priority is the opposition player taking space
at our far post.

Defenseman (Blue)
• In this play, the attacking forward gets a
step on me as he crosses the bleuline.
• As I chase to regain body position, my
priority is to keep my stick blade equal to
his stick blade with the puck in a position
so as to that he can not make the pass
across our slot or any shot towards our
net.
• When I notice that he is going to make
the skate around the back of our net, I
lunge stick first (with my stick flat along
the ice) so as to prevent any last second
pass across our crease.
• My defense partner does a good job to
track the second attacking forward so as
to prevent him from receiving a clean
pass from behind the net.
