Power Play: Umbrella
The Umbrella is a solid power play set-up that can be very difficult to defend against if run well The Umbrella is a very common power play set-up at higher levels of play. The reason for this is that it is extremely effective when run well. Remember to structure your set-up using players that fit each position's "job description," including what way they shoot. The Umbrella works very well when two cross-ice passes occur before the shot (see video for examples). This helps to hang the goalie out to dry, and can really mess up the opposition's penalty kill. Enjoy!
