Hockey positioning - all positions

[Fletch 219]

A friend of mine is getting started in hockey and instead of me trying to explain the jobs of a Center, LW, RW, Defenseman, etc. to him, I was wondering if anyone knows of any good sites online or books that explain it.

Any help would be mucho appreciated!

Offensive Strategy

As you're skating through the neutral zone, try to keep one of the

forwards in each "lane" of the ice. These forwards should not be in a

straight line -- they should be at different depths. For example ...

| F1 | | F2 |

| | | |

| | F3 | |

Always keep one person high in the opposition's zone. If the puck is

turned over, this person is in a better position for backchecking.

Maintain a triangle between the three forwards as you attack in the

opposition's zone.

It seems that the best guides to strategic playing of each ofthe

positions would be found in books dedicated to the topic, such as

these:
