How to Enter the Offensive Zone

Looking for more ways to get around defenseman that are gapped up or become more deceptive off the rush?

Play more like Mitch Marner, Connor Bedard, and Connor McDavid as they show us how to enter the offensive zone and score more goals. In this video Jason highlights 2 main strategies to help you gain entry into the o-zone and make a play out of the attack. Firstly we revisit the McDavid Drive wide guide and the mechanics in play to make this happen. If this isn't a possibility for you, Jason lays out what to do as another option to find success. This video is great for any forward wondering how to be more deceptive when they gain the blue line and helping back off defenders that are gapped up on them.

“You can just toe drag 4 times and score as well” that really got me

[KylePawluk]

You addresses my problem with entering through the middle. too much speed and i close gap on myself thanks coach👍

[ElyWaves.]

Incredible video honestly. This gives you the best option regardless of what the defense is doing. Exactly what you need

[mattraven]

I played my first game last week and almost caught a pass in the slot. I adore Jason Yee hockey every sunday. Im so stoked to get to practice tonight

[brianog]

Wow so well described….excellent teaching session… I may be 57 overweight and unable to skate but I learn something new about hockey everyday for the past 45 years!

[Trainpoint]

Thanks for watching! Let us know in the comments which method you prefer when entering the offensive zone!

[CousinPaddy]

I never had the opportunity to learn formally so thanks for the good content👍🏻

[MicBergsma]

Thanks, going to work on this … playing in league in-line hockey on Maui

[drzoltanvajo]

This is pure gold! BTW, the "McDavid method" was extensively used by Wayne Gretzky playing with Jarri Kuri :)

[grahamchan]

Thanks I was wondering why with my cuts to the middle I'm ending up getting poked. I end up running into the defense. Driving wide always works better for me!

Im also a typical speed player and can lean in and push to the goal alot of the time.

Should mention that you should be looking at the defenders feet and be attacking the feet on that middle crossover. Attacking the middle feet on a middle crossover will, usually, make that defenseman crossover, hence why the cross back wide is so effective.

Attack the feet, make them cross, go the other side

Hey Jason, I noticed you’re at Richmond Ice Centre. I’m close by there.
Just wanted to let you know if you need a partner or test dummy with any of these vids/demos, I’m around.

[dannytrader]

Keep up the great videos, man! Well done!

[jasonmunger]

This was a great video, thank you. But as good as your instruction is, my favorite part was still 3:37. lol

[toastbills]

thanks for breaking that down for me, it's like chess openings every chess master uses to start the game

[pitbullgait]

How do yous control a heavy looking appearance with loose skates when skater is at full speed downhill and his current weekly countering light noise system is still forcing him to extreme extension with that looose tops. His punch turns turnbacks entering the zone are looking well enough at low speed and medium speed downhill style, but at top speed the punch turns turnbacks ankle collapse becomes too much and it's as if he can't bring his mechanics out of a hole coming out of that punch turnback

[joshuamay]

how do I enter the zone from the left side as a LW? I always get the puck and it feels like I'm off to the races but I don't have a pattern of entry in mind usually.

[grizzlyblair]

just curious, what bevel do you sharpen your skates at

[ShaeFesai]

hey can you make a video of no talking just examples of these in game

[peterkortvel]

Love “your brand could be here poster” if they only knew their ad will get 100thousands of views in Youtube 🤣
