Small Area Tactics

Hockey is a fast-paced game where small-area tactics can make all the
difference.

  • Decision Making: Practice quick decision-making in high-pressure situations, focusing
    on first-choice plays and creating opportunities.
  • Give and Go: Master the give-and-go to create space, relieve pressure, and stay
    constantly on the move, making it hard for defenders to keep up.
  • Angling: Learn to use angles, posts, and probabilities to outmaneuver opponents with
    effective stick work.
  • Time and Space: Develop skills to create time and space on the ice while learning how
    to take it away from your opponents.
  • Utilizing All Options: Be versatile by using forehand/backhand passes, incorporating
    footwork, and maintaining an “eyes up” approach to keep all options open.
