C600 - Breakout - 2-1 x 2 - Skills Camp
Key Points:
Forwards leave from the far blue line and defense from the top of the circle Coach spot a puck below the goal line. Attack with speed and defender create a tight gap and deny the most dangerous play. A 2-1 is really a 2-2 so the goalie must communicate with the defender. Don’t allow the puck to cross the mid-line and take the stick of the player at the wide post after a shot.
