Coaches at each end provide instructions to D or F in each respective zone.

Things to watch for:
D
- poke checks
- pivots to fwd quickly enough if being beat by F
- watches chest and not puck (anticipates move/deke from F)
- blocks shot

F
- head up
- looks for hole, between legs, head fake
- cuts in front of net for quick shot
- protects puck from D
- uses D as a possible shot screen
Make sure there is no stopping and encourage shots on net early on.
