Aggressive 1-2-2 Forecheck

Drill Diagram

Description

LW chases after player with puck and forces him out from behind the net.
In this example, opposition player makes pass to hash marks.
C collapses onto new puck carrier.
RW slides in towards middle to cover outlet pass.
LW stays in middle behind the play to cover cross ice pass.
RD slides back to create depth and relief for LD if he gains control of the puck.

Notes: The key is to not give the opposition time to get comfortable with the puck and always be in their faces.
Defender on weak side has to maintain depth.
