Coaching points
- Hang-up: their man behind the cage has nobody on him. Call it, and everyone else locks off his man.
- The defender and the goalie each take a side of the goal and pressure him 2v1. The goalie shades hard to his side.
- Belgium: if he takes the goalie, the goalie checks him to make him step away, then gets back in the cage as the defender arrives.
- If he takes the defender, it is one on one: back to regular defense.
