We want to thank everyone for submitting questions and participating in the Mailbag! We hope you’ve been able to take something away from these Q&A segments and add them to your coaching toolbox.
In episode 10 of Troy Ward’s Mailbag, Troy offers some book recommendations for coaches, shares his rules for the F3 in the defensive zone, and why the 1-3 penalty kill structure is commonly used at higher levels.
“The ultimate goal of the 1-3 structure is to trap the opposing player and to force them to rim the puck into the zone,” says Troy. “That puts the puck on the boards and allows the four penalty killers time to pressure because it’s hard offensively to pull the puck into play.”
