Kings Forward Initiates Contact with a Reverse Hit in Offensive Zone

By: Ice Hockey Systems

This is a great clip to show your players on how to initiate body contact when you have the puck to protect is and create space, also known as a reverse hit.

What to Watch

• In offensive zone possession the Kings' forward is being closed in on by a defender in the corner
• The forward extends the possession & preserves his space by initiating contact into the defender 
• The forward then spins off his check & keeps his fee moving to open ice to create more time and space
• Play then extends low to high before the puck ends up at the net and a rebound goal is scored
