Working in hockey and for The Coaches Site has allowed me to watch more hockey than I ever thought possible. I’ve also learnt more than I ever expected to. Something new I took in over the last couple weeks deals with how to play spread on the power play and how to defend it. After watching the Mississauga Steelheads running a spread on the power play, I’ve dug into the OHL for this article. Let’s break down how you can defend it.
PP Spread Mississauga Steelheads
They are just a bit below the average in the league in terms of the % of the power play at 20.6%. I will not dig into their setup because this differs from the article’s purpose. But if you can take a pen and paper, watch the four goals and write down why you think they scored a goal. From there, we will see below if what you type down is how you can defend it.
