Backcheck tips:

Backcheck are an important part of hockey. There are several principles or philosophies that can be adopted. But overall it is always a matter of space and time.

When the opponent's forward make "delays" above the H mark, it is difficult for the d-man to keep a good gap control. If we are not inferior in number of players, the forward can put the pressure.

Be careful of the second wave.
