Roller 101
Really like this one. Simple habits that show up every shift.
Watch Roller 101.
It starts with keep away. Don’t force the attack when you don’t have speed or numbers — take the puck back, let teammates come with you, then go when you’re actually rolling. Alone on a 1 vs 2? Same idea. Pull it back for a breakout, get help, then attack once you’ve got both.
When the pressure’s on, don’t hang onto a dead play. Take it back. If the other team’s already set, reset again. Another reset’s fine. You’re waiting for numbers, not a miracle pass through traffic.
Support is the other half of that. Always leave somebody behind the puck so you’ve got an out when the forecheck hits. Use that guy to escape. And if you’re the last one back, you’re not the one jumping up the floor — that’s how you give up odd-man rushes the other way.
Same read when they’re packed in the zone. All four sitting back? Take it back and stretch them out instead of pounding into a wall. Too much pressure still? Reset and wait until they’re pulled apart. Numbers show up once the floor opens.
And when your team has the puck, keep skating. No puck doesn’t mean cruise. Find open space. Watch the white team in the clip — they keep moving even without it. Reset, then everybody slides into ice that isn’t covered.
