Defending the Rush

with Don Cahoon, University of Massachusetts Head Coach
and Len Quesnelle, University of Massachusetts Assistant Coach; former Princeton University Head Coach

Finally! A quality video with detailed instruction and drill integration on how to defend the rush! Coaches Cahoon and Quesnelle center this tape around developing the defense to read and react to the different numbered situations that come at them through center ice. Concepts discussed include good skating, vision, communication, using the stick, and gap control. Drills for position development explained and demonstrated include 1-on-1, 2-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-2. Creative team drills simulating game situations (for 1-on-1, 2-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-2, and 3-on-3) are also demonstrated. Defending the Rush offers effective drills and skills for developing defensemen for nearly every imaginable situation!
