Bruins Cycle

This is a good clip to show young players if you are introducing them to cycling the puck. This is a simple cycle down low by the Bruins that leads to a scoring chance.

What to Watch

• Boston forward protects the puck as they come up the wall.
• They cycle it down low to the corner where they have support, notice there is good spacing between the two players.
• After cycling the puck the player moves to the slot area to become a threat which opens up ice for the new puck carrier coming up the wall.
• Overall it opens up space higher in the zone because the defense is forced to collapse inside the dots.
