It's maddening being a Dman and not having your forwards play their positions correctly.  Makes your job 10 times harder.

This is one of the best introductory or back-to-basics d-zone coverage videos I've seen. Thanks!

This is actually a very good video on basics.

This is the best video I saw on a hockey game

Gonna binge watch thanks

Playing in a tourney and our coach just sent us this

A significant topic never really covered...is the role of skates in blocking passes to the slot.  Stick on stick is important....but also using skates to block passes.  I can't count how often my skates block passes...because they are lined up properly to make it very difficult for a skater to put a puck through that perceived hole.

Grate  video I liked it
I learned a lot of things

Very excellent video. Thanks man.

Love your vids

Great video

Zach, this was an excellent video...simple and concise. It helped me to further understand my responsibilities as a Left winger. My biggest problem is that I thought I was responsible for the puck low against the boards into the corner...but my responsibility is to stay higher in the zone and protect against the high pass to the defenseman on my side. I'm playing pickup, so everything is pretty sloppy out there, which only helped to further confuse me. So it's great to get a much better read on what I'm really supposed to be doing in the D-zone....

Great explanation! Many thanks

Great videos

great video

This video is great, my coach sent my team this and this definitely helped

I have made it to the championship  from him

Rd should be at far post side of net, 1 so nobody sneaks in, and 2, to be support for the Ld if he has to pass behind the net or reverse. That’s the only change I’d make

so when the wingers collapse - do they not then leave their respective point men wide open? sorry, beer leaguer here

Question: at the 12u level would you ever have the Winger switch with the Center position next to the D man in corner? This would be because the center man lost a battle and might of fallen or got out of position. Thoughts? I’m talking about when the puck reverses on the back side.
