Basic Concepts of Play

• We all know the basic Box defense, the next step
  is to develop a man-to-man defense or playing a
  stack defense in there zone. It is very important
  that each and every player on your team
  understand the importance of staying with his/her
  man and or his/her position.
• While in your man-to-man defensive system,
  players must also be aware of gap control
  (distance between you and your opponent). While
  the play is in your opponents end or the neutral
  zone, your gap control can be adjusted.

Basic Concepts of Play

• Breaking out of your end is something that each
  and every team should practice at least once a

• East Coast defenseman sets up behind the net
  and have one forward setup on the near boards.
