1. Be aware of the other teams D. If they get the puck, you need to be in the shot lane. If you force the d to dump the puck in the corner you did your job. If they get a shot on net, you did not do your job well
2. Support your own d. When your team gets the puck, it is important you are a quick and easy option for the d to pass to. Generally, you will be on or around the wall, with your stick on the ice ready to re I’ve a pass and make a play
3. Rims. Often times your team will be under pressure in the d zone, resulting in rimmed pucks on the wall. As a winger, you need to be able to stop and control these pucks, and get them out of the zone with a pass or a chip.
