Attack
Tips for Attackmen to set you on your way to on-field success.
Make Him Play You
Make your defenseman play you and you alone every second you are in the game. Keep moving all the time so that he must center his attention on you an not be in position to help out his fellow defensemen.
Away From the Defense

Make Passes Hard
Make feed passes hard. No rainbow balls or hospital passes, please.
Never Stand Still
When you have the ball, never stand still – keep moving all the time – if necessary run backwards and forwards – but keep moving. When you are ready to make a pass, take one step back quickly and move. If you are standing still, you’re wrong.

Circle Away From Pressure
Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.
Move to Meet the Pass
Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.

When in possession of ball, make the defense man play your stick – watch his stick – the position of it will determine the direction of your feed and the type of dodge you might try.
Never Pass to a Covered Player

Be an Outlet
If an attack man is being ridden hard and can’t dodge or get away – the nearest man on each side goes to help him.
