• In the centre of the ice, our LD is lined up along the face off circle and will cover their right winger.
• In the centre of the ice, our LW is lined up so she can skate unimpeded towards their defencewoman.
• Our RD is lined up along the circle to the right of the goalie such that she does not screen the goalie (i.e. does not block her view) when the puck is dropped.
• Our RW is lined up along the boards opposite their winger.

• The centre will try to get the puck into the area defined by the grey area (i.e. away from our goalie) so that our RD can gain control of the puck.

• Our LD covers their winger in front of the net.
• Our C covers their centre.

• Option 1 - They have the puck (fig. C):
• If we do not gain control of the puck, our RD will cover their left winger as she comes closer to the net.
• Each of our wingers skates to cover the opposing defensewoman.

Option 2 - We have the puck (fig. D):

• If we gain control of the puck in the grey area (shown in fig. B), it is the RD job to go get it.  At the same time the LD, C and RW will interfere with the opposing players for about 2 seconds so that our RD has a chance to either pass the puck to our LW, or, can skate behind our net with the puck and assess her options from there.
• If our RD skates behind the net (fig. E) our LD should be skating towards one of the corners (as an outlet pass for the RD), our C should be skating up and across the ice to the far boards, our RW should be skating up along the boards and our LW will continue skating up the ice and cross the blue line.

Execute the breakout play after gaining control of the puck.
