Foot speed and quickness for defensemen

By Tony DiRito

So many defensemen are expected to step-up or take the body on opposing forwards, but very rarely are these defensemen taught what exactly is involved in accomplishing these tasks. For a defenseman, the first and foremost skill that should be taught is foot speed and quickness. This terminology is applied to every position in hockey, but for a defenseman there are certain areas that are position specific, and need to be taught and mastered if you are planning to elevate your game to new levels.
Can I suggest that the next time you watch a professional game that you pay particular attention to the defense, especially their feet. This may seem like an odd assignment, but upon further review you will notice that a defensemen’s feet never stop moving. They are constantly positioning themselves to prevent a scoring opportunity, or to create one for their teammates. I have decided to break down the areas needed to improve overall foot speed and quickness, which will allow any defenseman to implement these techniques and hopefully improve in his or her position.
Speed and quickness
This may seem like an odd place to start, but if we are trying to build speed and quickness, we must first be able to determine exactly what each skill means and secondly how they differ. Players should possess both skills if they wish to be successful, but they must remember that one can have speed without quickness or vice versa. These two concepts are unique because they can fit together to form a complete skating package, or they can exist separately.
Speed as it relates to hockey is the ability to go fast for longer distances, such as goal line to goal line. Speed usually can be seen when a player races down the ice to chase the puck to prevent an icing or during a full ice race between two players. Historically, players who are considered to have speed are usually bigger players who have strong, powerful legs, that take a while to obtain maximum speed, but when they achieve top speed they are very difficult to stop.
Quickness, on the other hand, is a short burst of speed that allows a player to gain an advantage over an opponent for short distances, such as blue line to blue line. It is this quickness that allows players to pull past another opponent during head-to-head competition. It is players who possesses quickness that are often referred to as players who have quick feet or good acceleration.
These two skills are vital for a defenseman, especially in the defensive zone because you are expected to read and react to opposing players breaking down on you. In order to do this effectively you must possess both speed and quickness.

Lateral movement
This is perhaps one of the most important skills that a defenseman must have if one hopes to be successful. In ice hockey, as we all know, the tempo and pace of the game is always changing, which results in the constant movement of the puck from the offensive, neutral and defensive zones. A defenseman needs to perform lateral movements in order to constantly stay in front of on-coming forwards, and also to be able to react to the puck. In order to improve lateral movement there are certain areas that need to be stressed.
By performing quick feet drills such as the T-circle drill, one can develop agility and enhance the quickness needed to react to the constant change of direction that defensemen are often up against. Remember while doing this drill to keep your head up and your body positioned so that your weight is evenly distributed and your knees are bent. Do not rush this drill, the first few times should be performed at half speed to ensure that proper technique is being used, then progress into full speed.

Agility
One question that I am often asked is: Can agility be taught? My answer is the same always the same…Yes! Agility is a skill that involves performing tedious drills that can be boring as compared to simulating game situations. It is necessary to improve your overall body coordination and to learn your boundaries as a skater. Once you can identify these boundaries, you can work on them, which will allow you to become a better defenseman and overall player.
Proper agility stems from proper body positioning and weight distribution. In order for these to take place remember to bend at the knees and to keep your back straight so you can react quickly and are not caught off balance. By keeping your weight balanced you will be able to react quickly to all situations and constantly keep yourself in position.

Transition
This is a term that is important for all players, but especially defensemen. Being able to quickly shift from forwards skating to backwards skating can determine whether or not you can stop an opponent breaking down on you. Knowing when to change direction is just as important as knowing how to change direction quickly. Foot speed is the key to good transition; you must focus on stopping and being able to quickly move your feet so that you can reach top speed while going the opposite direction. Crossovers are a vital part to good transition because they enable you to change direction quickly and also to gain the edge that you need on an opponent breaking down on you.

Game situations
I have already discussed how to increase your overall foot speed and quickness, now I believe that it is necessary to explain how these skills are used in a game situations and why they are so important. In the defensive zone, it is important for a defenseman to be constantly maneuvering to ensure that the offensive player is taken out of scoring position. A defenseman must always be in the “right spot”—and as we all know this “right spot” is always changing; therefore, a defenseman must be quick enough to react to every situation.
It is the defenseman’s responsibility to be able to move the puck out of the defensive zone either by passing to an open forward or skating the puck out of the zone. These two skills require that a defenseman be able to skate well and also be able to handle the puck at top speeds. In order for a defenseman to skate the puck out of their zone, it requires good acceleration and quickness to be able to avoid on-coming fore-checkers. A defenseman must be able to change direction and speed very quickly to constantly adapt to the changing direction and tempo of the game. (See Breakout Drill in Figure 2)
There are many aspects that go into playing defense, but in order to perform the more complicated aspects of the position it is very important to have an understanding as to the skating mechanics that are involved. In order to improve your skills try performing the drills that I have provided for you regularly and also with and without pucks to constantly challenge yourself. Each skill learned must be used as a building block so that you can piece together and try to build yourself into a better hockey player. l

Keys to successful practice

By Shawn Killian

As developing players and coaches, we all have an obligation to maximize each and every ice session. If we expect our players to improve, to perform at their highest level, and to grow in their love for the game, we as educators must be well–equipped to meet the challenge. Consider the following terms: Involvement, organization, flow, conditioning, game-like drills, creativity, energy and skills training. Following are some thoughts to help you incorporate these crucial elements into every practice.

Organization

Having realistic “year-end” goals, continually assessing individual and team skills levels and organizing fun, logical practices will provide the ground-work necessary to run winning practices. What are each players’ individual strengths and weaknesses? What are the team strengths and weaknesses? From here you can begin to bridge the gap between where you are and where you need to go. Here are ideas on how to get there.

Flow

Flow can mean everything from a well-planned practice that logically progresses to a specific drill that combines skilled skating with puck control. Think of flow as covering a lot of ice. Track stars refer to training by “putting miles under their shoes”; flow involves “miles under your skates.” Players should remain spread out with frequent “weaving,” crossing and exchanging lanes. Flow requires you to keep your head up and to read the ice. Consequently, flow encourages teamwork and great on-ice vision and awareness.

Involvement

Every player must be involved and challenged each moment they are on the ice. Develop drills that utilize the entire ice surface and that keep all players moving (see drill diagram for example). Each player must know their role and must feel they are contributing to the team.

Conditioning

Conditioning shouldn’t contrive illusions of boring, militant, vomit-filled, hard–skating sessions without pucks, and should rarely be used as punishment. The last thing we want is for players to develop a dislike for skating. Rather, make conditioning fun and creative, and always reward a hard skate in some way. Encourage players to condition themselves through your creative training ideas. You won’t be with your group of players a year or two from now, so it should be your goal to make conditioning and its results a positive experience that your players will continue even without hearing your whistle. The work ethic that will result is crucial to every player and their development both on and off the ice.

Game-like Drills

Drills should be “game-like” or “game-realistic.” Try to simulate game situations whenever possible to familiarize your players with situations to come. Emphasize skills development, then incorporate them into game-like drills and controlled scrimmages. Be sure to explain every drill and why they are doing them. Let your players know where they can expect to see them in a game and the importance of practicing the way they play—with complete focus.

Creativity

Possibly the most important skill any coach can have is to encourage growth through creativity. Take drills and make them fun, yet challenging. Add additional pylons, or add passes to enhance the current drills you use. Always be on the lookout for new drills and know that every drill can be altered to yield several different drills. Inject your own personal flavor into drills to create a vast arsenal of teaching tools. Players need to be challenged both physically and mentally. It is up to you to organize practices that foster individual and team growth.

Energy

Your energy, mood, and attitude as a coach has a direct effect on that of your team. Consider yourself an actor or actress, and when you are on the ice, you are on stage. It’s show time! Again, encourage both physical and mental alertness and reinforce the fact that when the skates are on, it is time to perform.

Skills training

A good portion of every practice should involve work on specific skills. Working on systems is the fun part of hockey. On the other hand, allocating sufficient time and energy to developing perfect skating strides and puck control skills is often difficult, boring and sometimes confusing. Maintaining the interest and energy levels of your team while working on specific hockey techniques may be the most challenging task of any coach. Incorporating the previous coaching ideas should help you to reach your team goals. l

Flow Drill

This is an example of a game-like flow drill that uses the entire ice surface and incorporates multiple players. The entire drill should be done at game tempo. It also has a conditioning benefit when done with speed, can be altered as you see fit and will be a hit with your team.

Phases 1 and 2

Phase I

Three forwards take off and stay together. All three skate behind net, one player picks up a puck (or a coach can pass one) to create a 3-on-0. Execute the offensive attack of choice. Take a shot on net.

Phase II

The player who shoots the puck peels back, immediately, up the ice (at full speed) along the same boards. The single player continues alone, behind the net, picks up a puck and turns up ice with speed. A defenseman will step out at the near blue line to play the shooter 1-on-1.

Phase III

Simultaneously, the other two forwards trail the first forward (the shooter) by about 50 feet and at the same speed. Follow the same path as the forward in front, continue around the net, together, and pick up one puck. Another defenseman steps out to play a 2-on-1. As the two forwards pick up their puck, the drill begins again with the next three forwards leaving for their 3-on-0.

Phase 3

Passing: The key to team play

Figure 1: Flip pass.

During a recent pro hockey game that I attended in California, I was reminded just how important passing is to the overall success of any team. Why is passing so important? Because it sets up almost every scoring opportunity. Passing is the quickest and most effective way to move the puck around the playing surface because puck movement is faster than player movement.

There are many reasons for passing the puck during a hockey game: to quickly bring the puck out of your defensive zone, to defeat a defender and create a numerical advantage (an essential on a power play), or to set up that great scoring opportunity. Each type of pass serves a unique purpose in terms of catching your opponents off guard and gaining positional advantage. The speed and change in flow provided when making a pass allows your offense to open up many exciting opportunities to put the puck into a scoring situation.

Accuracy, Timing, Deception

Three factors to consider when executing an effective pass are accuracy, knowing when to pass and deception. Following a good pass, don’t stand around congratulating yourself, get back into the play!

1. Accuracy is essential when passing the puck. If you don’t put the puck on your teammate’s stick, you may have just given possession to the other team. To be accurate, you must be able to lead a moving receiver with the puck; that is, you must pass the puck far enough ahead of the moving receiver to give him time to catch the pass.

2. Knowing when to pass. Deciding when to pass the puck should always be based on improving your TEAM’s offensive situation (remember there is a direct relationship between passing and team play!). If a teammate is in a better position than you are, don’t keep the puck—pass it.

3. Deception. Many players spoil their passing attempt because they telegraph their intention. Telegraphing a pass occurs when the passer is looking at the potential receiver and lining up the passing play without any deception. This gives a defender an easy opportunity to steal the puck. Passers can use their peripheral vision or a deceptive move to confuse a defender providing valuable time and space for the receiver.

Three passes you can use to catch defenders off guard include the flip pass, around-the-boards pass and give-and-go pass.

Flip Pass

The flip (or saucer) pass is one technique that can be used when you cannot make a direct pass to your receiver due to a defender’s stick.

The key to making an accurate flip pass is rotating the puck, which is created by rolling the puck from the heel of the stick blade to the toe as the pass is made. This will ensure that the puck lands flat and does not bounce or roll.

The flip pass requires a short follow through to put the puck 6-18 inches off the playing surface and over a defender’s stick. No deception is needed with this type of pass as the puck going airborne takes care of it. Figure 1 shows an excellent neutral zone penetration (flip) pass allowing the play to quickly move from your defensive zone to the red line.

Figure 2: Around-the-boards pass.

Around-the-Boards Pass

Like the flip pass, the around-the-boards pass allows a passer to indirectly reach a receiver; and since you are using the boards as a guide, it is very accurate. It is particularly effective when used by a defenseman (D) to move the puck from behind the net to an open forward (F) positioned along the boards (as part of a breakout) or when moving the puck in your offensive zone to a teammate on the far side of the net (Figure 2). The pass should be low and not too hard so the receiver can handle it. Since this pass goes around a defender, deception is built right in.

Give-and-Go

The give-and-go pass (really a passing play) is designed to deceive and defeat an opponent and move the puck into a scoring opportunity.

The give-and-go pass can be used in any area on the playing surface. In the defensive zone, the pass can be used in conjunction with a breakout. In the offensive zone, it can be used as part of your offensive zone strategy. If the defender is expecting (reading) a give-and-go pass, you can still deceive him/her with a give-and-no-go (pass the puck and have the initial receiver fake the return pass).

Figure 3 can be used to work the give-and-go during a practice. Make sure that each player gets the opportunity to be both the moving player and the stationary player.

Perfect your passing technique (accuracy, knowing when to pass, and use of deception) and your team will improve its offensive effectiveness with the flick of a stick.

Building puck support

Figures 1 and 2

Let’s discuss one of the most important skills you can perform early in the season to quickly (and consistently) help put your team on top. It’s called puck support.

Puck support is your team’s ability to maintain control of the puck while moving it into a scoring opportunity. Puck support has both individual and team components. From a team perspective, it requires a collective effort to move the puck into your offensive zone and into a scoring position. From an individual perspective, it requires each non-puck-carrying player (supporting) to provide options for the puck carrier.

To be effective in this support role, players must anticipate the puck carrier’s intentions, read the defensive pressure being applied on the puck carrier, and adjust his or her position in relation to the puck carrier. Positioning of support players with respect to the puck carrier is important because movement by all players creates an attack that is always more difficult for the opposition to cover.

Three options that each supporting player needs to work on include getting open for a pass, clearing an area to allow space for the puck carrier to skate, and supporting a shot on net. These three options require supporting players to be able to read, react, and anticipate quickly, both individually and as a team.

For a Pass
When one of your teammates has the puck, it is generally the responsibility of at least one defenseman and one forward, as supporting players, to get open for a pass. Supporting players should maneuver themselves into an open position to create options for the puck carrier, and should base their movements on the puck carrier, the defenders, and the open playing surface available. An example of poor support by a puck carrier’s teammates is shown in Figure 1 while good puck support is shown in Figure 2.

Notice in Figure 1 that all offensive support players (circled) are covered, while in Figure 2, LD and RF have moved enough to become passing options for LF and can provide the offensive team time and space to maintain puck control until a scoring opportunity is created. In tight quarters, a give-and-go play works well, providing the puck carrier an opportunity to quickly get past a defender.

Figure 3

Clear the Way
The second way support players can help the puck carrier (and the team) is to maneuver so that the puck carrier has room to skate with the puck. This involves players spreading out and away from the puck carrier, creating space for that player. This is a particularly effective technique in roller hockey where offsides are generally not an issue.

If an opponent is close to the puck carrier, a supporting teammate can cross in the path of a defender (employing a legal screen or pick). This will give the puck carrier an added second or two to skate toward an open area and be able to set up a scoring opportunity. Figure 3 shows an example of a pick, set by LF on the opponent’s center (XC). This creates some open space for the offensive center (C) to skate with the puck to the outside of the defenseman and into the offensive zone.

Figure 4

Support the Shot
Supporting the puck carrier can turn into supporting a shot, if the puck carrier decides to shoot. When in the offensive zone, support players have to be prepared for a shot (and a rebound) at any time. Two important factors are positioning and quickness. Proper positioning for a shot means getting into a location near the slot for a screen, deflection or rebound.

If a defenseman is shooting (as shown in Figure 4), then the three forwards can position themselves to get a rebound, whether it comes out to the center or off to one of the forwards. Timing, quickness, and strength to move into position in the slot are essential factors in obtaining rebounds.

By providing the puck carrier with various levels of support (passing, skating, shooting) you can individually contribute for a successful team effort.

Pulling your goalie

In those sports which utilize a game clock, the final moments are often the most dramatic ones. Especially if a winner has not yet been clearly decided.

In close hockey matches, there are plenty of reasons for staying until the final buzzer. We’ve all seen, and maybe even played in, games where a last-second comeback earned a team a tie, or a shot at victory in overtime. And that’s why clubs trailing by a goal, and sometimes even two, will try to pull their goalie in favor of an extra attacker.

The thinking with this technique is that the team which is trailing will have a better chance at getting the equalizer, or cutting its deficit, with an extra skater on the ice instead of a netminder. But pulling your goalie is a double-edged sword: it can, and frequently does, backfire.

Should the side with the lead get control of the puck, it could easily pad its advantage with an empty-net goal. With the goalie out, the opposition has a gaping hole—providing no defenders have retreated to guard the empty net—to shoot at.

There is no set time when a club is allowed to pull its goalie. In fact, there’s no rule which stipulates teams must utilize a netminder at any point of the game. If they so desire, squads could play the entire 60 minutes with six skaters and no puckstopper. I don’t know that it’s ever happened, but NBA-type scores would no doubt result.

Besides the final stages of a game, teams will often pull their goalie a few other times during a match. But in these instances, they’ll face significantly lowers risks of allowing a goal.

Low-risk maneuvers

For example, goalkeepers scramble out of the net and to their bench when the action is ongoing and a penalty has been signaled against the opposition. No, these aren’t water breaks. The goalie is rushing to the bench to be replaced by a skater during the delayed penalty call.

Pulling the goalie in this case isn’t much of a gamble. That’s because the referee will blow the play dead as soon as a player from the team being penalized controls the puck. The only way this move can turn sour, which does happen on rare occasions, is by having a player inadvertently put the puck into his own empty net.

Those who have watched their share of hockey games have probably also seen a team pull its goalie with a couple of seconds remaining in either the first or second periods. This usually occurs when a faceoff is set for deep in the offensive zone.

The thinking in this case is that the team which has pulled its goalie can put on an extra skater and perhaps get a quality shot on net—and maybe a goal—before the period expires. Even if the team which is goalie-less loses the draw, there’s a very slim chance the opposition will have sufficient time to fire the puck the length of the ice and score. Especially with an extra skater covering the blueline.

As to the traditional strategy of trying to tie the score late in a game, when is the best time to pull your goalie?

“I think a guide rule is if you’re down by two goals you pull him with about two minutes remaining,” says L.A. Kings Head Choach Andy Murray. “Or if you’re down by one goal, you’re looking at the one-minute mark.”

Another determining factor is the whereabouts of the puck. Obviously it makes no sense for a squad to pull its netminder if the opposition has control of the puck.

Know when to go

“Before pulling your goalie, the puck has to get deep in the other team’s zone, preferably below the offensive circles,” Murray says. “Or if you’re coming out of your own zone, you should be under full control.”

Throughout his career, Murray has had occasion to pull his goalie countless times. Two of these instances stick out in his mind.

While coaching Kloten, a club on Switzerland’s pro circuit, Murray found his side trailing late in a game. He then told the referee he planned to switch his goalies.

In an effort to get some more rest time for the players he wanted on the ice in the dying stages of the game, Murray instructed his backup goalie to take his time putting on his equipment. After the goalie had finally geared up, Murray told him to remain on the bench.

When the referee skated over to the Kloten bench to find out what was happening, Murray explained he had decided to put on an extra skater for the goalie he had just replaced. This strategic move was allowed to stand, and Kloten played out the match with an extra skater.

Another contest which sticks out in Murray’s mind was played in 1979. At the time he was coaching the Brandon Travellers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

The Travellers were trailing the Dawson Kings 7-1 in a playoff game. With about 14 minutes left in the third period, Murray pulled his goalie. And he continued to pull then replace his netminder throughout the remainder of the game.

“You never give up”

“I kept pulling our goalie every time we had the puck in the offensive zone,” Murray recalls.

With its netminder on the bench, Brandon managed to score five unanswered goals.

“I was just trying to show them you never give up,” Murray says. “The score could have easily been 8-1, quickly. But they missed a lot of empty nets. A lot of times they were called for icing. Besides, if you lose, it doesn’t matter if you lose 8-1 or 10-1.”

The Travellers did lose, despite the excitement, by a score of 7-6. But in choosing an empty-net strategy to try and get back into the game, Murray certainly gave the spectators their money’s worth.

“The fans just couldn’t believe it was happening,” Murray says. “In fact, the next day they replayed the last 15 minutes on the local radio several times.”

Murray doubts he’ll be able to utilize this technique in the NHL.

“Hopefully our team will never be down 7-1,” he says. “But even if we were, I don’t think we’d pull our goalie then. The shooters in the NHL are a little better (than in junior).”

Whether the strategy of pulling your goalie to tie the game works or not, it is another of the dramatic moments unique to hockey. l

Think and have fun at practice

It is said that a team “plays as it practices,” and Shawn Walsh believes a coach must be thoroughly prepared for practice if he expects his players to be properly prepared for games.

“The key is to prepare when you’ve got quality time,” says the University of Maine coach, who recorded 200 NCAA Division 1 hockey victories faster than any bench boss in history. “I’ve found I can’t even prepare my practices in the office anymore because there are just too many distractions. Just to give you an idea, and we were only too glad to sign every one of them, our team (once) had 17 requests in one week alone from different charities in the area (asking) for autographed sticks. So I try to stay at home for at least a half hour—sometimes an hour—and just sit there and plan my practices.”

The inspiration for good practice ideas should come from your most recent game action.

Make notes, improve thinking

“The key to developing a good practice is to watch situations that are happening on the ice and, when you see them happen, make a mental note or physically write them down,” says Walsh. “Then, when it’s time to plan your next practice you know what you have to do to put your players in those same situation.”

It’s important to place young players, especially elite players, into thinking situations.

“I think we’re all doing a pretty good job in North America of trying to improve our physical skills,” Walsh notes. “There are plenty of handouts available on what drills can improve agility, what drills can improve shooting and what drills can improve stick-handling. But what drills are there to improve thinking?”

Can’t you tell he’s a college coach?

Walsh says coaches (and players) should look at NHL games and watch how an Yzerman, or a Lemieux, or a Gretzky thinks. Study the really intelligent players and try to glean something from them that will help your players think a little quicker, anticipate things a little faster and, in the big picture, understand the game better.

From a team perspective, practice must be as challenging for the best players on a team as it is for the least-skilled.

“Kids love competition,” says Walsh. “The only thing you’ve got to watch with competition is that it has to be structured so that the worst players aren’t always losing. You know who is constantly getting beaten on your team, who’s not scoring goals and who’s playing the third line. So set up a drill that almost guarantees that those kids are going to have success.”

For example, take your two best forwards and match them against the other seven. Let the bottom seven guys feel good about themselves.

Draft, play games

Walsh also likes to see situational zone play made into a “game within a game” at practice.

“Face off scrimmages are always fun,” says the coach who knows a strenuous workout has been successful when he sees smiles on his players’ faces when it’s over. “You take ten guys in an offensive zone face off and the squad that’s on defense gets one point for carrying the puck, not shooting the puck, out over the blue line. The offensive team gets two points if it gets a shot on net and five points for a goal. At the end of the drill, or end of practice, see how many points the groups have accumulated.

“Many youth hockey teams consist of three units of five players,” Walsh adds, “so maybe you could have a draft before practice. But set it up so that some of those lesser players will be rewarded, and watch how hard they will work when they have an incentive in mind.”

Walsh uses a similar system at Maine, and the incentive there is that the losing five some has to clean up the locker room after practice. Walsh adds his players love the challenge, and if he can get his Hobey Baker Award candidates picking up used tape and soda cans, youth hockey coaches should be able to get their star players doing it, too.

Walsh says he constantly has to remind himself that hockey is a game of mistakes—although there’s a consensus among opposition teams that Maine makes fewer than most. He’s been a head coach for 10 seasons, but is just beginning to learn about the ratio of positive-feedback-to-constructive-criticism when dealing with players.

“All of us that coach, whether you’re a volunteer or (someone) coaching an NHL club, want to see your guys do well, and the natural tendency is to point out the things they don’t do well. We pat them on the back, but I wonder if we do it enough. We’ve got to make sure we try to improve that end of it by just staying positive. Don’t jump on your guys too much, and just let them play through it. It helps.”
