AETHER PLAYBOOK

The other team just got the puck deep in the corner of their own end and wants to move it up the ice. This is how your team pressures them down there to steal it back. One player attacks the puck, two stay close for support, and two hang back near center ice so nobody breaks free behind them. The safe, don't-get-burned way to attack.

Coach's read · One forechecker pressures the puck, two forwards support wide, two D hold the blue line. The safe, structured forecheck. Takes away time without overcommitting.
