The adult learn to play hockey I'm doing has been great for that kind of thing in regards to giving you basic advice that you just wouldn't know otherwise. Such as keep up with the play, keeping the forward to the outside by aligning outside-inside shoulders and when you want to be within poke check distance. All of which fell apart there. I guess he was hanging back far because he can't skate too fast backwards though, which I see a bit and did myself until I started to be able to skate backwards with a bit of speed.

I'm bad at maintaining speed through a pivot so if I'm the D facing the incoming play but there's still a significant gap I always have a moment of indecision whether I should start skating backwards (widening the gap in the short term and increasing the need to maneuver) or wait/maneuver vaguely forward and go for the Jedi pokecheck but then (probably) have to turn and chase. There is also some just not understanding what kind of gap is optimal in there, too. Anyway, the result is bad, unless the oncoming skater freaks out and stops advancing. Semi-related, I helped coach a beginner session maybe a month ago where my whole job was to stand there like I was trying to stop a breakout but not actually poke check or bother them in any way. Most of the girls were OK with that. But when I started just slowly skating backwards in front of them a surprising number suddenly lost their minds. Personally I will lose my mind trying to skate around even someone who I know has the mobility of a sofa so I get it, I just always assumed I was alone on the short bus for that one.

I was not on the ice for the game-winner. I had the "strut in front of their bench" loaded in the chamber though. We had championship rings pre-made. I am glad we don't have to ship them to Africa. Our parade is on Friday.

I need the extended battery for it to last a full game. My buddy on the other team had his at the other end of the ice too. Should make for some good footage.

There is also some just not understanding what kind of gap is optimal in there, too. Anyway, the result is bad, unless the oncoming skater freaks out and stops advancing. If you are in the offensive zone or the neutral zone you can give up a bit of gap to get up to speed, but it needs to be closed up by the time you get to your own blue line, and a 'play' made on the forward by the time you get to the top of the circles, in a 1 on 1 anyway. Any deeper and you are in your goalies way. Keep yourself between the net and the forward and at the very least force them outside. If they go behind the net DONT CHASE THEM BEHIND THE NET. If you are a beginner defensemen, unless the puck is loose and you are pretty sure you can get it then you should never be behind your own net in a defensive situation.

There is also some just not understanding what kind of gap is optimal in there, too. Anyway, the result is bad, unless the oncoming skater freaks out and stops advancing. The rule of thumb I've been given is you transition when the attacker reaches your 2 'o clock (or 10) position. This is for even matched skaters.. if they're significantly faster than you, pivot sooner. A two stick gap is ideal, but again, the details depend on your skill level versus theirs. A poke check is probably ill advised, because it means you've committed and they can dance around you. Just do whatever you can to clog their field of view and edge them towards the boards. Eventually they're going to realize they need to make a move, and hopefully your skating has forced a bad decision.

I think we're talking about different pivots (I'm probably using the wrong terminology because what I'm thinking of is what I first learned as a J-turn, but then saw people calling a pivot? I don't even know.). Basically, where you skate forward to challenge the oncoming attacker but then change direction/transition to backward to stay in front of them as they advance. Except I know I'll scrub off enough speed in that direction change that I'm reluctant to skate up. Pivoting from back to front if the attacker is fast enough to get to 2 o'clock is much easier to do at speed since it's just an open step from inside edge to inside edge.

Oh, that kind of pivot.  I call them transitions, but not the OTHER transition where you just shift from forward to backwards skating in a straight line (which people around me have started calling mohawks, which are not what I thought mohawks were). loving hockey lingo. Right, if you aren't really good at holding speed on those moves it's a risky maneuver.

OK, if someone showered me with tampons on the ice I would laugh my rear end off (and then probably trip on a tampon), but there's actually a RULE about it?! I love your rink's mood lighting.

Had 3 goalies and enough on the benches for two full lines on each side. I was going to do stick time earlier that day, but it already was filled up by the time we got there from Greenville. I'll probably come back up this coming weekend.

Draft skate for D2 league tonight. Instructional League (with and against xzzy) has been great, but the Sunday morning time slot is in direct conflict with my side business operations, so it's time to move on up to beer league. Summer Coed D2 was good again this year, and I did improve year over year (1g, 3a last summer to 4g, 1a this summer). Just a shame we keep losing on ties in the playoffs.
