What a phenomenal ozone sequence here from Barzal and Schaefer using the high ice. An absolute masterclass on situational skating, puck support, and give-and-go at the end. So fun to watch.

Another USA OZFO Play leading to a goal This time SSD down the wall & WSD down the backside of coverage coming off the far post. All 5 players in motion. This team was on fire in the face-off circle during the tournament b

BUF PPG Manipulating the PK - Point man walks line to drag F1 out of the middle of the ice - Bumper releases into vacant high ice away from coverage shifting into a spread look, while remaining PK players extended/prioritize shooters from the elbow

COACHES: Just incredible goals here showing the modern Ozone. Low to high to spread the Dzone out, use high ice to bring more defenders away from the net, D losing their defender with give-and-go's from the blueline... Phenomenal clips creating offense and fun hockey to play!!

KIDS: The game today is all about races and battles, especially races to gain puck possession. But the key to winning a race isn't skating in a straight line to the puck. The key is the race to space first. Check out these two clips that precede goals. The race is for body

Defense isn’t just about getting to the puck, it’s about how you get there. Control first touch, read pressure early, and win the angle before you win the puck. Better decisions on retrievals fuel cleaner exits and faster transition play. hubs.la/Q040GtfR0

SJS Breakout - Playing fast vs 2-1-2 • Rim bypass two man forecheck • SSW high wall in the defensive zone baits D pinch while chipping to WSW slash speed • WSW speed to loose puck creates turnover and finds C underneath the play

COACHES: The hardest teams to play against are the most disciplined in the neutral zone with holding the red line. They're so stingy not allowing speed on the rush and forcing dumps or turnovers. SO FRUSTRATING for offensive players and teams. Here are a few great clips from NJD

COACHES: Sorting out the rush is one of the most difficult situations in hockey and a part of the game talked about A LOT at the higher levels of hockey. This clip from the Blues is a phenomenal teaching clip on how to do it right. So much of sorting out a rush is recognizing

Two ways to create space (1) positive differential - increase faster than opponent (2) negative differential - decrease faster than opponent Most hockey has players skating into th opposition on this player. McKenna is special:

COACHES: Here are two great clips on "corner containment" in the Dzone - positioning your players to keep the puck in the corner so you can swarm, outnumber, and get the puck back fast. On both clips, you see the defenseman rush to keep the puck from switching sides behind the

COACHES: One of the hardest things to do defensively in hockey is sort out a rush. Here's a great positive clip from the Hawks on getting back into the zone, stopping in their spots to take the guts of the ice away, and negating any offensive opportunity. They create the turnover
