I want my defensemen to be the backbone of this team and the players that my team knows they can step up to the plate when needed and are going to make plays. I want them to be the leaders of the team hyping us up in the locker room before the game, keeping our heads up after a bad play or loss, and just straight out communicating on the ice with each other and the forwards/goalies. Defense is what wins game in any sport and that counts especially for hockey. I want my defensemen to be that guy where I don’t even have to worry when the puck goes all the way to our side. I know they got me and I know they won’t let me down getting the puck straight back up to the forwards. They’re truly the key to a great team and you want to bring the best out of your defensemen.
