How to Run a Hockey Offense: Dump In

If the defense is tightly controlled and hard to penetrate, this is a good way to get the puck out of the neutral zone and into scoring position. It's not a graceful maneuver, but it does the job.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hockey Pucks
• Hockey pucks
• Hockey Sticks
• Hockey sticks

1. Instruct the center to bring the puck up ice, for which the center will receive a defender in the face.

2. Pass the puck from the center into the corner and off the boards.

3. Pick up the puck with a wing.

4. Have the wing pass to the second wing, who is positioned in the low slot.

5. Instruct the second wing to shoot and score.

Tips & Warnings

• If the defense shuts down passing lanes, the first wing can pass behind the net to the second wing.
• Alternatively, the center can position himself high along the boards and pass hard into the corner, sailing the puck around the back of the rink to the opposite corner, where a wing is ready to receive.
• Don't let the center shoot too hard into the corner. "Feather" it in just enough to keep it off the boards so it's easily retrievable by the wing.
• If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
