First and foremost, I would want them to focus on maintaining a strong defensive presence. This means effectively clearing the puck from our defensive zone, blocking shots, and keeping opposing forwards at bay. Good positioning and stick work are vital. In addition to defense, I'd hope my defensemen would actively participate in the offense. A well-timed rush or a well-placed shot can catch the opponent off guard and contribute to our goal tally. Their ability to make smart, accurate breakout passes is also crucial. This helps us transition from defense to offense quickly and efficiently. Communication is a key element too. I'd want my defensemen to constantly communicate with me and the rest of the team, calling out plays, covering the open man, and signaling for passes. Clear, concise communication can prevent turnovers and missed opportunities. In the defensive zone, the defensemen should work closely with the goalie. They need to provide clear sightlines for the netminder, ensure rebounds are cleared promptly, and block shooting lanes to make it easier for the goalie to make saves. If I were a defenseman, my priority would be to support the goalie. I'd aim to block shots with my body, clear the front of the net to eliminate screens and second chances, and make precise breakout passes to initiate offensive plays. Communication with the goalie is key, ensuring we're on the same page for covering rebounds and marking opposing players in front of the net. Ultimately, the synergy between forwards and defensemen, along with our collaboration with the goalie, is essential for a successful hockey team. Each player has a distinct role, but working in harmony leads to victory. (306 words) | 63 GP | 3 G | 16 A | 19 P | 4 | 0 PPP | 0 SHP | 10 PIM | 16 H | 64 SOG
