Carolina Defender Plays Body and Supporting Player Gets Puck

By: Ice Hockey Systems

This clip shows exactly how to play the body and create a turnover. It is not a big flashy hit but the Carolina Hurricanes defender eliminates the New Jersy Devils' forward from the puck and it leads to an easy breakout.

What to Watch

• Carolina Hurricanes defender plays the body and finishes the New Jersey Devils' forward along the wall, separating them from the puck.
• The other important factor is that Carolina's supporting player is closer than the Devils' supporting player so it is an easy win.
• A great formula all over the ice is the first player eliminates the body to create separation from the puck and the 2nd player retrieves the loose puck.
