Hockey Skills for Defenseman | D-Zone Puck Retrievals.

Are you a defenseman? If so, this video is for you. Retrieving pucks in the d-zone when the opponent is forechecking hard can be scary. Don't let that fear stop you from making plays. In this video I demonstrate the necessary skills needed to effectively retrieve the puck, elude the forecheck, and make a great hockey play to benefit your team. The hockey skills needed are the ability to perform a mohawk turn, a punch turn, and most importantly, checking over you shoulders. Checking your shoulders by looking middle ice, to wall, and back to middle ice is a skill you can start doing today that will give you the best view of where the pressure is coming from and make a great hockey play to help your team escape the d-zone. #hockeydefenseman #icehockey #hockeyskills
