Stealing the puck

Coming up to the last defender?
The forward should be shot for slowing down or even showing signs of thought processes.

Oh, and we have a word for this move in New Zealand.

We call it 'a pass'...

Who's turning? Turning is for schoolboys.

I refuse to believe that I ever turn and will deny any recorded video evidence to the contrary.

But very true in any match. Forwards should be unguided torpedoes: put them in the right direction and press 'fire'.

However, I usually teach the newbies to turn when in doubt of loosing the puck. It maybe the wrong thing to do in matches (especially as a forward) but on the other hand it teaches them to look around for their teammates. Too often they seem to make a habit of ignoring these other persons who also have a stick in their color. But that is a different topic.

Here is another example of a term taken from other sports. US and Canada basically call this a poke-check, taken from Ice hockey. The specifics of sven's drawing and explanation don't need to be there it is basically a time when you as a defender of some sort are not in a place to cleanly steal the puck but have a line to the puck. The idea is to "poke" the puck in the direction of your second defender, so he can take possession.

Thanks.. í'm really no ice hockey man....so thank.
But your explanation is indeed good. Lets call it "poke"the puck...
