Dodging is the skill of keeping control of the puck and evading a tackler. This is an offensive move. Move another direction away from the tackler while maintaining control of the puck. Sometimes it is best to pass the puck.
Tackling is the skill of taking the puck away from the opponent. This is a defensive move. It is best to tackle or block or hit the puck when it is not near the dribbler’s stick.
Students will be in pairs with one hockey puck and one cone between them. Students will take three turns practicing dodging stationary partner and cone. The roles will switch.
Students will perform a slight tackle by moving their stick to make opponent dodge more effectively. After three turns, partners switch.
One partner will dribble towards opponent while other partner, tackler attempts to take puck just when it is slightly off stick blade. After two minutes, switch roles.
