Offensive
Zone Face Off
The centre
is responsible
for making
sure that ALL players are in position
and ready for the face off.
 |
 |
These are the
two face off positions our team will use.
L = left wing, R =
right wing.
The centre will pull
the puck back to the winger lined up behind her, and that winger will SHOOT
the puck on net.
The other winger will
get to the net for the rebound (if there is one).

General Face
Off Options
 |
 |
 |
|
These are the
basic face off positions.
|
These are the
face off positiions if the centre wants to pull the puck back to her left.
Not very useful.
|
These are the
face off positiions if the centre wants to pull the puck back to her right.
THE
MOST USEFUL OPTION.
|
For an effective
face off to occur, all 3 forwards must know what the centre is going to
try to do when the puck is dropped.
The face off alignment
will be decided by the centre, who shall in turn, tell the wingers.
You'll only get a
few seconds to sort this out on the ice, so make it quick.
-
The centre has the following
options:
-
Pull the puck back (left,
straight or right);
-
Push the puck forward
(left, straight or right);
-
Push the puck sideways
(left or right);
-
Ignore the puck and tie
up the opponent (then let your winger retrieve the puck, or use your feet
to kick the puck to a teammate)
The centre is also responsible
for making sure that ALL players are in position and ready for the face
off.
-
Once the centre is set
for the face off, the referee will drop the puck, even if the other players
are not in position or not paying attention.
