STEALING THE PUCK SIDEWAYS FROM THE OPPONENT 
A skill to be used against opponent players that swim in the same direction as yourself.
When you can reach out to the puck. Place the stick in front off the puck and move it sideways towards yourself.
Remember to play the puck first and not the stick first from the opponent. Thats illigal.
When you have the puck like photo then you can do whatever you wnat. Most times turn away from the opponent. so he can not steal the puck back from you.
SO THESE ARE 3 WAYS TO STEAL A PUCK. WHAT WAY DO YOU USE/NEED.
I make also next day(s) a diagram off a way we use sometimes(for some years). My twin used it 4 weeks ago when we trained in Rijswijk in our vacation. And the other player did not now what happend but he did now it works. But it has some risk/dangerous moments in it. Because the first thing to do is not steal or take controll but take the controll away from the opponent. And you need 2 players for it. And these 3 ways i show above are all done with 1 player.
but first. What is your way to steal the puck? To have a basic view, about all those skills.
