Positional, Triangular, Overload Slot
Positional: Positional play is a conservative offensive
scheme that is the cornerstone of any hock ey team. The two forwards will alternately attack the net. While one forward is attacking the net, the other will be holding back and thinking defensively.
Triangular:The wingmen form a triangular formation with the center. The players then try to get the puck and "funnel" it in close to the goal for a good scoring chance. If you listen to an NHL broadcast, you may hear this strategy referred to as "cycling." The objective of this system is to create a 3-on-2 or, better yet, a 2­on-1 situation.
