Red players backcheck hard to the defensive zone. Good communication between forwards and Defensemen to sort out D coverage. Attack the net on the rush and drive for rebounds. Variation: When back checkers reach their defensive blue line, C1 throws them a new puck and they attack back 3v2 against the original 2 D.
Key points
The counter-attack starts when defending D recover the puck and pass it up or a goal is scored and the Coach gives the next line a new puck. D-men should keep their feet moving all the time adjusting their gap.
