Rim The Puck Defensive Zone Face-Off

View Full Description

Topher Scott breaks down the Rim The Puck Defensive Zone Face-Off Play. This set face-off play is a great way to get the puck out of the zone quickly. The key on this play is after the center wins the puck back, the defense must quickly get the puck to rim it along the boards to the far winger who must immediately sprint to get to the puck. From there, the winger should be aware of the pressure by picking their head up. They can chip the puck out of the zone, or gather it and pass to the other breaking winger.

This is going to be our defensive zone face-off play.

3 key points to keep in mind:

Weak side winger should get to the far side boards as fast as possible and try to chip it out of the zone
Defenseman with the puck delay slightly if you can to buy time for the winger
Strong side winger should support the puck and provide an outlet and be ready for a chip
