RinkLog Academy
Special teams
Special teams are the part of hockey where a system shows most clearly, because players have time to set up. They are also where a parent understands fastest what their kid is doing on the ice: an umbrella formation or a penalty kill box is recognizable at a glance from the stands. These pages describe each formation, what it is trying to do, and the weakness the other team will try to exploit.
