Basic Hockey Neutral Zone & Offensive Strategy and Positioning | NHL 101
In the NHL101 we talk basic offensive strategy, positioning and tactics as well as neutral zone transition. What are hockey players supposed to do in the offensive zone and how do you get there? This is the answer in its most basic form. There are plenty of different styles of defense that teams will employ but it all starts here with the basics.
Sorry about the audio quality in this one, something broke in my set up so I had to use camera audio in the first half.

These videos have def helped me understand hockey better. Wife and i just got stationed to an area with a hockey team and we fell in love with going to live games. your videos are the only reason i know what's going on haha
Glad help! It's a really fun game to watch, especially when you have an idea of what's happening haha
Player interviews may be full of clichés, but they always remind me of “Pro Hockey Media Relations 101” from Letterkenny 😂
Letterkenny is such an amazing show, and even more so if you watch hockey lol
Best show ever 😂
Just got into hockey glad I found your channel and glad this part is now out! Great work
Glad to help!
@@CheapSeatsSports what software did you use for the animation? thank you
Just a quick refresher for the game tonight ❤
By far the best hockey primer I’ve seen. You are VERY good at this. You’d make an outstanding play by play man.
Glad you enjoyed it! That would be pretty cool, the biggest challenge would be keeping all the names right just by looking at numbers from far away. Hockey play by play is very impressive.
clicked immediately. such a good series of video’s.
I'm somewhat new to hockey as I've watched it quite a few times but would find myself lost much of the time. This series has been incredible, man! Very informative in an easy to digest manner. Thank you!
Glad to hear that you've found the videos helpful! It's a fast sport (especially at the NHL level) so it can be easy to get lost. I appreciate the support!
Awesome video, thanks
Using backwards passes works if X2&3 attack the blue line with speed ahead of the breakout- stopping at said blue line. This draws defenders back which clears the log jam in the NZ. This is why those mile long drop passes don’t get intercepted.
That's a good detail to add. Thanks for the comment!
These videos help me know what to look for I can watch more than just the puck now
That was the idea for making them! Hopefully they can help people learning to play too, but I was aiming for new fans watching games.
Nice! I’m a little late to the show, but have you made a video explaining 3-2, 2-1-2.. etc formations? Would love to share with my club these videos are super helpful. Thanks
I haven't gotten there yet since I've been mostly starting with the very basics but I will add it to the list. Since I also cover the Seattle Kraken it might be a bit before I'm able to get that done tho. Glad you found this helpful in the meantime tho!
Crosby shirt. Very nice video, thanks a lot.
Another really clear and effective video explaining hockey to young players. So glad I found this channel!
Thanks again! If you have any questions or suggestions for other videos let me know!
Trying to get into beer league this summer and these positioning videos are really helpful
Glad to hear it! Playing is a lot of fun tho I can say from personal experience, knowing the right thing to do and actually being able to do it in the moment while playing are very different things.
Thanks! Great videos!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!
Thanks for this. Any chance you do something on cycling the puck in the O zone?
I'll add it to the list and see what I can come up with when I find some time. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for this one. (Imma email it to some wonderful new team, or something).
This has helped me get better at chell lmao
Awesome! Not what I meant it for but I'm glad to hear it the cross over works! I know there are some differences strategy wise in chell but I don't play much so I can't speak to that. The Basics are probably the same tho considering it is still hockey.
great video. was hoping to see something on cycling - perhaps for a 201 video 👍
Yeah, I wanted to keep more basic for the purpose of this but I can do that in the future!
New to hockey and this helps
Glad to hear it!
Great info..thanks
Happy to help!
Enlightening (Did you forget to feed your mic 0:33-8:26? 🤭)
What is the name of this software you use for these simple hockey demonstrations?
I did all the graphics in Adobe After Effects there are probably easier ways but it's what I knew.
Ok what happins if a deffender in some crazy scenario shot it into his. Own goal would it still count as a score fir the offince ? Im oretry sure this is hightly unlikely to happin
Yup it's still a goal. The credit for the goal goes to whoever touched it last on the opposing team.
@@CheapSeatsSports i take it that has happened before
Interesting 🤔
Could you show the 1st one to our team please? 🤣🤣🤣
Please note non of these rules for defenseman apply if your name is Roman Jose, Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar
I mean... they aren't the only ones that ignore the guidelines, just the only ones that actually do it and it helps their team.
@@CheapSeatsSports that's true, and I think guys like Tyler myers could definitely learn from this video with all the turnovers he has
How did you not cover the Flying V? 😂
That's too advanced for a beginner level. ;)
Ah crap they're on a breakaway again lol that was my whole first pickup game
Yeah it happens a lot in beer league lol. Fortunately since people aren't as good it's less dangerous but still not ideal.
I'm still angry over the 06-07 season redwings presidents trophy fresh out of lockout losing to Edmonton playing the trap. Not so much that it was a Edmonton team that shouldn't have been in the playoffs. It's that they shouldn't have been in the playoffs and the wings just couldn't find their way through it. The long dump ins got tiring
Who didn't love watching the trap? Other than everyone...
@@CheapSeatsSports it was heart breaking that a team wouldn't even try to play the game.
