Нападающий. Передачи Passing and Receiving Hockey is the fastest team sport there is, and nothing creates speed like good puck movement—and nothing creates more ragged play than sloppy puck movement. One point players should always keep in mind is that the player receiving a pass must come to the puck and present a good target for his teammate. Forehand Passing Players must be able to make hard passes with a snap or slide action, right to the blade of the receiving player’s stick. Good passers can see the ice well, anticipate the speed of the player they’re passing to, and pass through traffic when needed. At times a saucer, or elevated, pass is required to get the puck over an opponent’s stick to a teammate. A critical skill is the timing of the pass. Instead of giving the puck up as soon as possible, too many players wait too long before making a pass to give the receiver time to figure out what to do next. Good players already know what to do with the puck before receiving it. Backhand Passing This is a more difficult pass that requires wrist and arm action to cover any distance. Most players keep their top hand too tight to the body rather than letting it freely move in front of the body. Hands should be approximately 12 to 14 inches apart. The puck starts off the back foot and is pulled forward before being released off the front foot in the manner needed. Soft hands and good wrist action are hallmarks of good passers. Players should receive the puck in front of the forward foot and let the puck settle off the back foot in a passing or shooting position. This is called cushioning the puck, and it lets the player control a hard pass and be ready to do something with the puck. The same technique is used for The most difficult aspect of the game today is scoring. Coaches are constantly on the lookout for players who have a track record of producing from level to level. It’s very difficult to teach scoring, in part because it involves so many elements, including skill, confidence, and vision. |
