1 Possession v. Transition: A Left Brain Look

2 1214 Grade A Scoring Chance Study

3 Scoring Chance Definitions  Possession opportunities: controlled possession in all 3 zones; 1 st touch on breakout, deep NZ regroup or any attempt to delay the advancement of the puck  Transition opportunities: pucks gained by taking possession through defense with anticipation and movement to offense upon recovery of the puck.

4 Total Grade A Scoring Chances 1214 Transition 59% (613) Possession 41% (493) D Zone O Zone N Zone D Zone O Zone N Zone 35% 30% 61% 27% 12% 35%

5 Offensive Zone Neutral Zone Defensive Zone Possession Offense

6 “The puck moves from stick to stick and team to team. More than six times a minute, more than 120 times a period, it changes possession. Physically contested all over the ice, the game is in constant transition. Patterns disrupt and break apart, moods skip, unsettled in one, on to the next, spiraling higher. Three quick strides, coast and turn, and turn again, and stop; three more quick strides, a pass, checked, and three quick strides the other way. Fragments, hundreds of them, each looking the same, some going somewhere, most not, and as a player or fan you can never be sure which it will be.” - Ken Dryden, The Game

8 Offensive Zone Neutral Zone Defensive Zone Transition Offense

9 Offensive Zone Neutral Zone Defensive Zone Transition Time

10 Defensive Zone D-Zone Transition

11 Most Common DZT Situation Individual & Team Defensive Execution  end play – separation from puck w/ body or defensive stick  collapse – shrink zone defensively / cut off the top Goalie Rebound Missed Shot or Pass Offensive Blueline Play  blocked shot  mishandle or weakside low release

12 DZT Success Factors  Defensive Purpose – speed & efficiency  1 st Opportunity Out  Support - everyone is the way out  Vertical Speed - play fast  Stretch - offense Reads / anticipation  D active - create four man attacks  Confusion LRA Defence  Drive Net for Rebounds

13 Neutral Zone N-Zone Transition

14 Most Common NZT Situation Poor Passing & Receiving Execution Chip Out D-zone to Relieve Pressure Line Rush Against  D gap control  Reload - F3 position & track  OBL turnover System Structure  1-2-2  1-3-1

15 NZT Success Factors  1 st Pass Execution  quick up  indirect  Tag Up Attacks  weakside  middle  Support Speed & Anticipation  at the puck option  stretch option  D Active - up tight & jumping into holes

16 Offensive Zone O-Zone Transition

17  Defensive Structure  balance  D up ice in position to pinch  Pressuring D-core Below GL  F1 creates a stall  poor D execution  Pucks Behind D - creating & obtaining 1 st Touch  Poor Goalie Handles  O-zone Hunt / Stay on the puck Most Common OZT Situation

18 F1 angles, pressure and separation Puck Placement - chip to pressure / possession F2, F3 up ice ready to pressure D up ice tight with F’s in position to pinch Quick Support to a stall/loose puck Create Offensive Triangle – find open holes OZT Success Factors

19 Defensive Fundamentals Ability to End the Play  stick position  angling  checking Defensive Stick Detail  contested passes  contested shots  physical & vision space Skating Speed & Agility Defensive Support

20 Offensive Fundamentals Passing & Receiving  accuracy  tight congested areas  under pressure  multiple angles Puck Support Skating Separation  cutbacks/escape in ozone  speed & quickness Strength & Poise Over Puck  edges  stick
