Welcome to OMHA Video Coach presented by CoachThem where we review a video clip from game action and then break down the sequence into frames identifying key skills, individual and team tactics, strategy and hockey IQ. Video is a great teaching tool that can be used by both players and coaches.
The dotline, although invisible, represents the most impactful threshold in the game of hockey. Defenders want to keep the puck and attacking players outside the dotline and the middle of the ice is the land of opportunity when looking to create offense.
We have discussed the dotline in previous Video Coach segments and in this segment we look at the need to attack the dotline to remain triple threat – to skate, pass or shoot.
