Controlling a Power Play in Hockey - dummies

Author: External Author | | Categories: controlling , dummies , offensive , power play

Few things are as important to the success of a hockey team on any level as its ability to score goals during a power play. A power play occurs when the opposing club is whistled for a penalty and one of its players goes to the penalty box. Thus, one team has the numerical superiority during the penalty time — unless the team with the advantage scores, in which case the power play ends. Coaches use a variety of plays to try to score while they have the advantage, and the power play often creates some of the game’s most exciting moments — whether it’s a flurry of slap shots from the point (that area on the rink just inside the blue line near the boards) or a scramble for rebounds in front of the net.
