I have read that some of you suggested that when you're defenseman in front of your net in your territory, the guy you're covering should be in front of you while others expressed that you should be behind him. The advantage of being in front of him is that you can cut off a pass to him, but you may lose him of sight. The advantage to be behind him is that you see him at all time, but if he deflects a ball or gets the ball, it will probably too late for you to do anything about it. What I'm gonna try to do tomorrow is to stay BESIDE him. I will try to keep physical contact with him. If he's gone, I'll know it right away and I'll make physical contact with him again. If he gets the ball, I will push him to make him lose his balance and lift his stick. Those two things seem be easier to do when you're beside the man. Anyway, I'll tell you about the results. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
