Body Position and Use of Stick When Defending

Tip Of The Week:

Body Position and Use of Stick When Defending

This is somewhat similar to last week's IAA (Influence, Angle, Attack) See if you can pick out the IAA phases in this video. These terms are used in the video but the concept is the same. Note Well: Coach Keith Acton (Leafs) talks about his stick position in addition to his body position, critical stuff. Also, this is not just a skill for Defenseman to acquire and work at but for ALL players. Forwards can use the IAA and stick position when angling and checking in the neutral, offensive, OR defensive zone.




Quote of the Week:

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

– Earl Nightingale
