Description

C - attempts to win faceoff away from net to corner. Center ties up man and then drifts towards net to provide support or to block shooting lanes.

RW - rushes D regardless of whether faceoff was won.

LW - if faceoff won LW breaks to far boards. If lost takes RD or blocks shooting lane.

RD - retrieves faceoff and sends puck at angle to other D behind net or to opposing winger on a rim. If faceoff is lost collapse towards net and obstruct LW and C.
