All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 My Coach is running this new system called the double down. None of us players really understand it. Have any of you ran it or taught it that could better explain it to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stampede#11 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 Is it for ice or inline? If it's inline I'd be interested to hear about it. What are the principles + does everyone have a role or does it involve rotation of positions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 Its ice. Im not really sure what it is exactly. I wasnt there for a practice, coach told me that we are gona try Double Down and I should ask another player how it was ran. The other players chuckled and said they didnt really know either.

Stampede#11 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 I'm lost too then mate .... sorry .... if it was inline, I had seen a team who had really good rushing D-Men who, as soon as they had the puck, sent both wingers very long behind the opponents D (even net sometimes). This stretched the play totally and their Backmen would just skate it up the rink, passing between themselves or just play a long flip into the corner. This was all in the space of 5-10 seconds, so was a real fast way of getting the puck close to the other net and got the oposition "puck watching". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oggy_3 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 I'm not 100% but it sounds like one player get thes puck carrier and the other player will get the puck, 2 low and then the third guy is in the slot area. i would assume its on the forcheck and it would be the opposite of the TRAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrett 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 Not really a hundred percent sure , but maybe he is referring to down in both the offense and defensive he always wants two men on the puck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
