Step 1
Assume for this example that the left wing crosses the blue line with the puck, going for the dump-in, and the defense reads the play.
-
Step 2
Instruct the defending center to break immediately for the corner, even as the puck is dumped down the boards. The race is on.
-
Step 3
Expect the offense to send its wing and center to retrieve and control the puck.
-
Step 4
Race the center into the corner, attempting to beat the offense there.
-
Step 5
Move the right defender back to the corner and onto the puck.
-
Step 6
Move the right wing to the top of the faceoff circle for initial support in case the offense succeeds.
-
Step 7
Note that with momentum in her favor, the offensive left wing will likely reach the puck first. The defending center and right defender should double-team this wing and attempt to gain control of the puck.
-
Step 8
Move the left defender back along the boards on the left side. Whether the defense has succeeded in stripping the puck or the offensive wing has passed, the puck should be coming around the back side of the net toward the opposite corner.
-
Step 9
Pick up the puck with your left defender.
-
Step 10
Note that the offensive right wing will likely have moved to the high slot, waiting for a pass that is no longer there. This will leave the defending left wing open for a pass.
-
Step 11
Break the right wing up-ice.
-
Step 12
Pass the puck from the left defender to the left wing.
-
Step 13
Let the left wing pass to the rushing right wing.
-
Step 14
Skate into the neutral zone and set up the offense.
