This will conclude the 4-part series on Checking -- or, an overall view of the defensive side of hockey. The first section includes the application of these principles within a team's playing system, followed by a brief summary. Once again I apologize for the fact that the following video was produced just prior to the drastic changes made to rules involving body contact and such. And again, I promise to do an update in time for your new season next fall. Also, this VERY important note... When I think about a smart player, checking -- or the defensive side of his or her game -- comes quickly to mind. It's that important, and it's a major part of our game's X's and O's. So, while players and parents should certainly know this information, I truly believe the dedicated coach has to understand these principles well enough to convey them well to his or her players...
