Faceoffs: Defensive Zone

A few Defensive Zone Faceoff options that have worked well for me in the past
I like to have VERY structured positioning and responsibilities in my defensive zone play––including faceoffs!! This particular set-up will leave you in great position for a breakout if we win the draw, and great position for defensive zone coverage if we lose the draw. Either way we are covered!
This set-up also allows for a few “more aggressive” options that I like to use every now and then to catch the other team off guard.
Enjoy!

Leaving the RD on the boards alone seems wasteful, and if you move him to the middle it has to change your breakout (or force him to do the change of direction with the puck that you state you try to avoid.
