Run across their bodies.
Watch out for the dive

tackle with the stick.

Shoot when
the goalie is
out of position
Blue has “dragged” the
goalie out of position and
has an open shot at goal.
The defender went for the
ball instead of running
with the forward. The
defender is eliminated.

What should
the defender
have done?
The defender made a weak
one arm reverse stick tackle
and missed the ball. The
defender should have
channeled the forward into
the goalie who can then
“take them out”.

The forward is
free to shoot
The defender should be
next to the forward to
jab tackle the ball away.

about it
Hockey is a game of
percentages.
You won’t score on
every shot on goal.
