The Enforcer (NHL Scorpions)

Начало книги

This book is dedicated to all of the enforcers in the NHL. Their role in hockey is misunderstood by many. Enforcers protect their teammates often without thought to their own well-being, and often don’t get the credit or recognition they deserve.

5 hole: The area right between the goalie’s legs.

Backchecking: Checking in the defensive zone when the opposing team is attacking.

Boarding: Checking a defenseless player against the boards, usually causing their face/head to hit the boards first.

Checking: Using the hip or body to knock an opponent against the boards or to the ice.

Deke: When a player handles the puck in a way that makes the opponent move out of position, allowing that player to get past.

Faceoff: The method used to begin play. One player from each team fights for the puck as the official drops it to the ice between them.

Forechecking: Checking in the offensive zone in order to get the puck.
