Rush Coverage Sort Outs - High Delay 

• D1: Stay engaged on the puck carrier

• F1/D2: Receive speed through the net 

• F2 & F3: Track back through the dots, denying the weak-side passing lane and securing against 4th/5th attacker threats

HABITS!!! ➡️ Five sticks connected to the ice.

Rush Coverage Sort Outs - 3v2 (Trackers Behind) 

• D1 & D2: Read through the rush, work inside the dots to close down middle ice, and delay the attack while support arrives 

• F's: Track back through middle ice, denying the weak-side passing lane and securing ice against the fourth attacker 

• D1: Positioning inside the dots and great anticipation to read the kickout allow for an active stick to deny the blue line and create a counterattack
