Penalty corner

Attack

The types of variations utilised by teams depends largely on whether the team has a competent drag flicker or relies on a hit. In lower aged junior hockey, teams do not necessarily have a player capable of stick trapping for a hitter, or a player who can consistently hit or drag flick.
