Attack Triangle Sequence


This Simple Attack Triangle Sequence Introduces many important Offensive Concepts to Young Hockey Players.

Many youngsters have a tendency to skate the puck straight at the opposing defenseman, when attacking the offensive zone. I believe that our young athletes can be taught to use structured attack systems from a very early age. The Attack Triangle Sequence is one of my favorite drills to begin teaching these concepts. Here’s the diagram and explanation:
