What to Watch

First two players down low battle with opponents 2 players.
The 3rd player covers the 2nd layer of defense in case the 2 vs 2 battle down low is lost.
The weak side wing comes down to help out low below the hash marks.
The strong side wing stays on the defensive side of the opponents D as he tries to creep down lower into the zone.
**Notice all three players away from the puck have their sticks on the ice.
** Notice the shape of the defensive players, they are like the number 5 on a dice.
