Forecheck: 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck
Use the 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck to trap your opponent in his zone
The 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck is a great forecheck to add to your hockey systems repertoire. When executed correctly, it is effective at all levels of play, from youth all the way up through Junior and College level hockey.
The key to making this forechecking system work is to have everybody know, understand, and execute their roles properly. When this happens, the 1-2-2 “Foosball” Forecheck works similarly to a neutral zone trap – except that it happens in the offensive zone!

Weiss,
This is one of my favorite drills or systems to run. Like you said everyone must stick to their assignment to have the play work properly but when it happens it can drive defenses crazy.
This is also referred to as “The Trap” right? I think that’s what one of my coaches used to call it back in the day.
Anyway, this is awesome content. Totally fresh and unique. Keep it man!

Dude, let me know again when more BYU Hockey games are on BYU.TV – that was so cool to watch. Plus, it’s hard for me to make it to a game so being able to watch it online is awesome.
Ya – this one works REALLY well if executed with discipline. It works similarly to a Trap – except that you’re “trapping” the other team in the offensive zone, whereas most other Traps happen in the neutral zone.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog!

PS: I believe the next game will be broadcast on Nov. 7th vs UVU, @ 6:00 pm
[..YouTube..] And I thought the 1-2-2 was only for defensive purposes, this is great.
[..YouTube..] Ya, this works REALLY well if your team has the discipline to execute… And it generates a lot of offense in the process!

have you ever heard of the blue vultures?
LOL – you must be talking about the “Blue Vulture Award” for the toughest player of the game… you and I won that a few times––toughest 8-year-olds in the league that year!
[..YouTube..] This is great unless the opposition’s D have a good first pass, the d-man has only back side pressure and will have time to find a seam. If the breakout team has their forwards higher in the zone there will be an abundence of 3on2′s, Especially a possible indirect pass to the weak side winger for the break away. F1 is basically useless chasing behind the net. If you have f1 leap frog over the net to continue puck pressure. I can see this working against a smart defense.
