What to Watch
- First two players down low battle with opponents 2 players.
- The 3rd player covers the 2nd layer of defense in case the 2 vs 2 battle down low is lost.
- The weak side wing comes down to help out low below the hash marks.
- The strong side wing stays on the defensive side of the opponents D as he tries to creep down lower into the zone.
- **Notice all three players away from the puck have their sticks on the ice.
- ** Notice the shape of the defensive players, they are like the number 5 on a dice.
