Glove pass in the neutral zone

A Team B defender standing in the neutral zone knocks a clearing attempt down with a glove, straight to a teammate who is also in the neutral zone.

The punch that missed

Attacker parks in the blue paint

Team A has the puck along the half wall in its attacking zone. A Team A forward drifts into the crease on his own while the Team B goalkeeper is set in the crease.

How it works

Three ways to work on your game off the ice

  1. Call It drills

    A real game situation, three or four choices, one right call, and why, with the rule number and page so you can check it in the book.

    Drill Room
  2. Craft notes

    Positioning, talking to benches, reporting penalties, game reports, fitness. Practice advice from the desk, clearly labelled as advice, not rules.

    The feed
  3. Bench Book

    After each game, rate yourself on five skills and write what you would do differently. Private to your card. Watch the averages move.
