Kadri with Delay on Middle Zone Entry
https://vimeo.com/911584489?share=copy
Getting to the middle of the ice on entries is a great way to cause confusion for the defensive players. Kadri does a great job of gaining the middle of the ice and has a nice delay to get the puck to his teammate who is coming in full speed. Great clip for you to show your players.
What to Watch
- Kadri has the intention to gain middle ice as soon as he receives the puck on the zone exit
- After scanning the ice to see his options and the defensive opposition he is facing he recognizes there is no immediate attack option
- Using his edges he decelerates to create a change of speed to create space higher in the zone on the entry opening up a fourth player option coming in late
