Hockey Defensive Zone Positioning & Net Front Coverage

Defense wins championships — and this video breaks down defensive zone coverage the simple, modern way. You’ll learn defensive zone positioning in hockey, how each position is responsible for specific areas of the ice, and how to work as a connected five-man unit instead of chasing the puck.

We cover Defense 101 for real game situations: including winger and center responsibilities, defensive zone faceoff coverage, how to block shooting lanes, and how to play aggressive hockey defense without getting burned. You’ll also learn net front coverage — including how to control sticks, protect rebounds, and shut down big players in front of the net without taking penalties.

If you want to play better defense in hockey, improve your hockey IQ, and understand defensive zone accountability the same way NHL teams teach it, this video gives you universal hockey defense tips you can use immediately in games — youth, high school, beer league, or competitive adult hockey.

• Defensive zone coverage & positioning
• Winger, center, and defenseman responsibilities
