Thanks coach, we’re teaching SOFT in all situations and all zones. Great cycle drill progression for enhanced IZO, especially the butt out guy creating confusion in DZC. Well done, Thank You!
Combining the cycle with second-quick puck support may also stretch the defense and create further chaos in the slot and around the net. Having pros share their ideas in this hands-on series is great!
