Advancement Keys
The Orange Key - Creativity
1st Red Stripe: Defensive Zone:
-
I have my delay move down.
-
I regularly (not always) recognize my break-out options and find the open player
-
I know when I have to simply dump it out of the zone to clear
-
I can switch with a teammate who comes into my area to present another passing option
2nd Red Stripe: Neutral Zone:
-
I can pass to the players who are moving the feet
-
I can recognize the simple support passes, but I can also hit the longer "opportunity" pass
-
I know when to change the side of the ice with a pass to open things up
-
I use a regroup to steady my players and get them organized again
3rd Red Stripe: Offensive Zone:
-
I always come to help the puck carrier down-low
-
I use "give and goes" with my teammates to lose our defenders
-
I use my defense at the point to open up the zone
-
I can cycle
-
I know when it's time to shoot
-
I can use defenders as a screen
