7U Hockey Defense Positioning and Angling to Stop Breakout 

Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you found it helpful! Hoping to make more in the future.

Absolutely, if you are able to check, this technique will still be effective.

Thanks for the visit

Hello, thanks for your comment. I do have a stick-handling video that should be useful to a young player here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dVAPjH9SX14.html That should be a good starting point, and the nice thing is that you can do it at home. I plan on making a shooting video in the future as well. This video is more geared toward advanced players. However, the angling concepts covered in this video are key habits that players at all levels should learn. It's very common for young players to skate directly at an opponent who has the puck. If the defending player fails to take the puck away, then they will take themselves out of the play, which often results in giving the puck carrier a scoring opportunity. Understanding that it's best to angle the puck carrier toward the boards, skate with the puck carrier and not at them, and that it's important to make multiple efforts to steal the puck is critical. Once young kids find themselves in a game situation, they should be thinking about this concept anytime the other team has the puck. Thanks again. If you have a specific question, or a suggestion for a video let me know.
